MQL5 Intermediate Course Description

In this course you will learn how to code with object-oriented programming, how to adapt our simple expert advisor to this new framework and how to work with pending orders.

Introduction To Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

In the first part we will focus on how to code object-oriented programming in MQL5. We will cover the theory while maintaining a practical approach.

First, we will introduce you to object-oriented programming, covering classes and objects, and then we will explain most OOP basic concepts, such as encapsulation, inheritance or polymorphism, both in theory and code and with examples.

Rebuild Of The Expert Advisor With OOP

In the second part we will take the expert advisor that we built in the previous course, β€œAlgorithmic Trading In MQL5: Code Robots & Free Up Your Time” and we will rebuild that robot with classes and objects of our own.

In case that you did not complete the previous course, you will have available for download a copy of that expert advisor in this course, so you can follow along with the lectures.

Pending Orders

We will cover everything about pending orders and we will create a version of our robot that trades with them.

Here you will learn what type of pending orders we can use in MT5, how to place them, how to modify and delete them and how to set their expiration time.

The concepts learnt in this part apply to all types of pending orders that exist in the MT5 platform, namely: buy limit, sell limit, buy stop, sell stop, buy stop limit and sell stop limit orders.



Requirements:

  • Basic knowledge of the MQL5 programming language

Who is this course for:

  • Algorithmic traders that completed the course β€œAlgorithmic Trading In MQL5: Code Robots & Free Up Your Time” and are willing to keep learning and improve their expert advisor
  • Any algorithmic trader that desires to expand their knowledge of MQL5 and have a better working framework
  • Any algo-trader interested in working with pending orders

This is an intermediate level course. It is not appropriate for beginners as we will not cover the basics of the MQL5 language. Beginners should take instead β€œAlgorithmic Trading In MQL5: Code Robots & Free Up Your Time”.

However, if you took the time to complete the previous course, or you have basic knowledge of MQL5, then you are ready to take this MQL5 intermediate course.
