Download Template

Yes it is coding time!

We are going to use a simple template to explain the 4 parts of a trading robot (also called EA or Expert Advisor in the context of MT4). Download this file from this chapter's Dropbox folder. Link: "Chapter - Here's What You Are In For".

It should contain a file named C1_BasicEATemplate.mq4.

In your MT4 platform, under file, click “Open Data Folder”. Go into the MQL4 folder, there should be an Experts folder. Place C1_BasicEATemplate.mq4 in the Experts folder.

For Mac/PlayOnMac Users: Find the MQL4/experts folder in Finder under <user>/Library/PlayOnMac/wineprefix/...
