Course Overview
Trading With Forex Robots: Learn MQL4 Programming By Doing! Create Your First Algorithmic Trading System in MetaTrader 4
Learn to program in MQL4 and develop, test, and optimize your own algorithmic trading systems. This course assumes no prior programming or Forex knowledge, just a desire to learn and be successful
In the first section of this course we will install MetaTrader 4, open a free demo account, and learn the essential theory behind algorithmic trading.
The second section focuses on fundamentals of programming. Even if you have never programmed before, this part of the course will quickly bring you up to speed. Moreover, MQL4 is a C-based programming language and everything you learn in this section will also be applicable in languages like C / C++ / C# / Java / etc.
Section three introduces trading system design and gradually blends it with the programming knowledge you developed in section two. Here you will learn how to open your first order through a program also created by you, and how to then work with that order to modify or close it at your discretion.
Finally, everything is put together in the fourth section of the course, where we will come up with a unique trading strategy idea and turn it into a holistic Algorithmic Trading system. Also, I will briefly show you how to test and optimize your Forex Robot in the MetaTrader 4 strategy tester.
Enrol today and kick-start your Algorithmic Trading journey!

In this course, formatting isn't explained barely at all, like when to use ( or { or ; or why or how. and it caused many errors. Just in general the course felt rushed; we are trying to learn; but instead of this course challenging us to think for ourselves, we were instead rushing to keep up with explanations while coding that simply told us to copy his rapid coding, instead of think for ourselves at a slow steady pace based on solid learning principals. So despite going through this entire course with strong intent to learn, im still very confused, and if you were to ask me to code my own EA right now, I couldn't. Why? Its because I was just copying what I was told to do rapidly as he quickly coded, giving no time to digest, or understand why he was doing what he was doing, or how to apply it in my own circumstances outside of his design. I aced all the tests, and still feel as though I cant make my own EA with my own rules because this was very much a "copy me quickly while I vaguely explain concepts" course, not a "learn these principals and create your own based on these core principals" course.
