I started learning C programming in 2010. From there I picked up many languages.
I have worked with MQL for just a year now. I pick up programming languages very quickly because I'm no stranger to programming.
I'm working on several indicator projects and EA concepts.

Added topic Discuss plot normalization code
I'm talking about oscillator based indicators, and by normalization I mean that the plot is in a stable range and the 0.00 level remains directly in the center of the window. My knowledge is limited on this, but I figured out that if you have a plot

Added topic What makes an indicator free and what makes it not free?
I'm just genuinely interested in your opinion. What is it which makes an indicator a freebie, and what is it which makes an indicator have a cost attached to it

Introduction Anticipating the unforeseen is a cardinal principle in the realm of automated trading. Despite the meticulous design and rigorous testing of trading algorithms, the reality remains that even the most sophisticated Expert Advisors (EAs)

Can any sellers tell me what the experience has been like here as a seller on the MetaQuotes marketplace? Feel free to DM me. I feel a lack of ambition to sell any product due to the fact that there's an overwhelming number of indicators and EAs already all squashed in together. I'm fearing that I might make only one or two sales in a year.

I suggest you try the market. Maybe it works for you. I think of these factors. 1. Original products 2. Good representation of the product in description section.
3. Advertising indirectly in forum or other platforms. I means showing knowledge and expertise of yourself instead of advertising the product directly.
4. Being online and responsive: ensuring customers that you are available to the very modifications/support they may need regarding the product they purchase.

Yes I agree with @Yashar 100% and one more thing is if you are going to sell EAs , make sure you back it up with a Live Signal showing real results to customers , it makes a big difference in your credibility, Goodluck

Added topic Is it possible and feasible to design your own activation system into an indicator or EA?
Quote: "When selling products on the MetaQuotes Marketplace, the platform allows you to specify a certain number of activations for your product. These activations are tied to a unique installation code that ensures the product only works on the

Added topic Facing difficulty trying to overlay a line plot on top of Color Candles (in the separate window)
I made a simple candlestick chart in the separate window (DRAW_COLOR_CANDLES). I wanted to make a moving average in the same window, but when the buffers have very different values it causes the candlestick chart to scaled down so much that you can't

Added topic The best way to freeze a signal so the signal doesn't repaint
I have a signal indicator that should make an arrow on the LL or HH for any timeframe, but it repaints frantically like a rabid racoon on crack cocaine. One idea to stop something repainting is to take the initial signal it found and force it to

Added topic Really nice and easy to use forex equity and trading lot calculator (finally!)
I was looking for a lot size calculator which could calculate the maximum lot size allowed for my account based on my account leverage. Previously, I could only seem to find lot size calculators which would calculate what lots are left to use based

I notice a refresh problem in the indicator when switching timeframe. I'm confused at what might be causing it.  The buffers don't update properly when switching timeframe, and when right clicking the chart and clicking "refresh", everything

Added topic Idea of selling an indicator script instead of the program
Do you think it would be possible to sell a code rather than the program on the marketplace, or does this seem silly? Perhaps you could sell the indicator + code

Added topic Is it possible to make alerts occur on only specific timeframes?
I was thinking about this, and wondering if there's actually a limitation in the API. Let's say I'm currently on the 5M timeframe, the indicator should only alert on the H1 timefreame with the Alert() function regardless of what timeframe I'm
