MQL teacher needed!

[myLIVEaccount]

Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the best place for my post, if not, pls move it somewhere else.

I'm looking for a professional programmer to teach me MQL.

I have few years experience in manual trading but absolutely NONE in Empty4 / EA programming.
I'm looking for someone patient, who would teach me all about mql programming, step by step, from the basics.

I need to learn practical things that will allow me to transfer/code my trader's ideas into the indicators/EAs.

Meetings via skype prefered.

Please let me know your conditions, fees, time schedule, ideas.

Any offer appreciated.
Thank you,
Milan

Hello Tommaso,
firstly thank you for nice welcome here.

Also thanks for your advice. I know there are plenty of mql tutorials and I heard this one from CodersGuru is probably the best. However, I need somebody (real person, with LOT of patience ) to show me what to do from the very basics.

There are two separate things to learn:
1. Programming in general. Concepts of implementing an idea in step-by-step computer logic.
2. MQL specifics. The MQL syntax &etc is simple to learn if you know another language. The hard part is learning all the behavioral strangeness of MQL, **especially** if you want to write indicators. For EAs you will need to learn how to enter and manage orders, but that's easier than making indicators behave.

If you have no programming background at all, I suggest you might want to start somewhere that gives you those basic concepts.

Hi Milan,

when I started programming MQL4 some 2 years ago reading "Programming in Algorithmic Language MQL4" by Sergey Kovalyov gave me a valuable overview over most topics needed to start. It's freely available here: http://book.mql4.com/.

It's not only about MQL4 specifics, but also about programming in general, and it is very comprehensive, providing many programming examples and code snippets.

I believe that this would be a good complement to a classroom lesson you might attend somewhere in your area (I don't know where you're living, though). When you're looking for such a lesson look for classic 'C' programming language, not C++ or C#. From C the step to MQL4 should be the easiest one as compared to most other programming languages.

All the best,

Jürgen
