The Pros And Cons Of Automated Trading Systems By Jean Folger3:00
This is an article initially published on Investopedia that talks about the Pros and Cons of automated trading systems.

Anatomy of Programming: creating our Expert Advisor3:15
In this video we will learn how to create a new Expert Advisor (EA). An EA consists of three important functions OnInit(), OnDeInit() and OnTick().
Anatomy of Programming: Variables, Alert and Comments4:30
In this video we will learn about variables, using the Alert function and Comments in our code. Every variable need to have a type, we will discuss the different variable types and how to use them. We learn about using the alert function to show us variable to test if our code is working good.
Anatomy of Programming: if statements3:58
In this video we will learn about using IF statements to check specific conditions. An If statement can have one or more conditions that it checks and executes a block of code when the conditions are met.
Anatomy of Programming: Arrays and For Loops2:51
In this video we will learn about using Arrays to store multiple variables and using For loops. Loops help us to iterate through data and mostly involve Arrays to store this data.
Anatomy of Programming: creating a Function2:13
In this video we will learn about creating and using our own functions. By creating our own function the code will be cleaner and more maintainable.
Anatomy of Programming: Variable Scopes and Parameters4:36
In this video we will learn about the scope of variables and creating parameters (user inputs). When we use Parameters the user can change the value of a variable without going into the code, which makes testing much easier.
Programming quiz

Programming step one: find engulfing candles7:57
In this video we will program the first rule of our Expert Advisor: how to find engulfing candles. We do this by looking at the previous candle when a new candle is formed and compare the highs and the lows.
Programming step two: checking the candles ranges10:37
In this video we will develop our Expert Advisor further and look how to program rule two: checking if the engulfing candle has the biggest range.
Programming step three: room to the left17:26
In this video we will program step three of our Expert Advisor: how to see if there is room to the left on our signal candle.
Programming step four: creating Buy & Sell orders11:13
In this video we will learn how to create buy and sell orders. We will place these below or above the signal candle so they will get triggered when the price moves in the desired direction.

Requirements

Have MetaTrader 4 installed and opened a (demo) account at a broker
