Converted Beginner indicator to MT5 version today. Actually, I was going to convert another indicator (BB MACD) but, unfortunately, MQL5 doesn’t yet support any easy substitutions for *OnArray() functions of the previous version of the language. The resulting Beginner indicator works fine in MetaTrader 5 — it still just marks the tops and bottoms of the chart and isn’t very good for actual trading signals. But now it has certain improvements compared to MT4 version:

• Has description
• Indicator’s short name makes sense
• Uses one buffer to draw dots instead of two
• Uses more correct data types
• The logic behind the indicator is visible from the code

You can get the code of MT5 version or read more info about the indicator.

If you find some bugs in this MT5 indicator or want to make a suggestion regarding its functionality or what should be my next MT4->MT5 conversion, please, use the commentary form below.
