Expert Advisor Programming for MetaTrader 5: Creating automated trading systems in the MQL5 language Paperback – 24 Jan. 2013

This book gives you an overview and insight to basic fundamentals to programming on MetaTrader 5. It has a good structural design and overall meets the requirements for someone like myself.Following this, the book must be bought in consideration. Here’s why.This book is heavily dependent on its source code on the website, my needs were met with the book although I believe if I was a beginner I wouldn’t have a clue where to start.As with every fx/trading book I pick up, I’ll download the code, as if I was a beginner; load the code, hit compile and boom, 78-120 errors to begin with, on each expert given, not a single one gave completion.After also going through the book, step by step; I incurred so many problems which a beginner would not have a clue how to figure out, and even when i fixed the errors, they never produced what was needed.After a long week of agony I decided to continue using my experience from other lang and used the book to help me modify positions, which helped me structure my strategy.EU/UK Customers: This book is probably made for an American/Canadian audience so stay away from the trade section and implement your own method to fit the needs of your strategy, the book will teach you in a way a beginner will not understand.All-in-all: this book is suitable for someone who is experienced in programming languages, MT4 looking to move onto MT5.

Read almost cover to cover already. Excellent - basically learning C to boot!FYI - I have had some previous programming experience, but not much in OOP like this.

Seriously needs revising! the codes are outdated and does not compile!. I'd be glad if the author could release a revised version of this book. Apart from that, its a great book to learn MT5 programming concepts.

Half way through this book. It's very informative.I was hesitant to buy it because these day's almost everything you need is online somewhere. But this book is well structured and goes explains fundamental concepts well. There are some good examples and all code is downloadable. Recommended.

Excellent book for professional programing MQL5Recommend.

A good primer for MT5 with practical applications.

Very useful for understanding the changes in the new build on Metatrader 4 too.

An easy book to understand with plenty of useful examples.
