Coding course in 6 lessons

Post by jcl »

I've just finished a new version of my online coding course and thought that I post the links here:

Lessons 1-3, intro to coding: variables, functions, if/else branches, loops, etc.

Lessons 4-6, trade system coding: trend trading, counter trend trading, trading with frequency filters, series, trade signals, backtesting, optimizing, walk forward analysis, portfolio/basket trading, money management.

The language is lite-C for the Zorro platform. It has the same C language syntax as MQL4, so the first 3 lessons are basically identical to MQL4 coding. Only the trade system coding in C is a little simpler because MQL4 does not support series and other elements. For this reason, C code is shorter and less complex than MQL4. But the basic principles are the same. Have fun! :)

i have not been on the system for a couple years, but i am recovering enough that i want to try again, but my scite editor will not run, so i have dropped back to meta-editor, and have a problem there too. scite does not respond at all, and meta-editor tries but has unexpected errors and has not generated a ex4 yet.
it is reporting that a subroutine call should have a definition of type of return as if it were the definition of the subroutine and not a call for the subroutine. but the subroutine is defined later. can someone suggest what the error is?

it would be easier when you would attach your code to answer your question .., maybe you used in a a int or double or simil function a return without returning a value , this is not allowed with the new Empty4 compiler, try return(0) ...
