New here. Looking to learn how to create EA's.

I have some simple methods that are profitable but require constant screen time. I would love some guidance as to where to start learning how to write code for EA's to run in MT4. Any feedback would be welcome.

The best way to start learning to code for MT4 is to study the available indicators and expert advisors coded by other people in combination with MQL4 Reference.

May I ask why do you need exactly that ? Just play by standart rules if that is something really important here anyway. How do you plan to go around that ? Thanks in advance I never used anything like that and still profitable, not sure if it helps

I don't understand what you are saying. What standard rules are you talking about? I am not trying to break any rules, I just want to see if I can write some code to buy and/or sell, depending on the direction, when the RSI crosses 50 on a 4 hour chart with confirmation on a 2 hour chart. So that I can walk away from the screen. I am profitable when I sit in front of the screen, but I don't know how to automate what I do, so I tend to miss things if i'm not watching.
