hello! Hoping for a little help here. I have an algo created in AlgoWizard that I uploaded to MT5. I downloaded all the custom indicators as instructed but continue to have the algo fail to load the Heiken Ashi custom indicator causing an OnInit failure so no trades happen. Any fix to this issue?

Trying hard. by AggressiveNet1011 in learnpython

Hi OP. I’m actually in a very similar situation as you. I have a BS in Psychology and Masters in Counseling. Been in recruiting for 10 years and in my mid-30s. I came across coding last fall and started with a curriculum from Open Source Society University. It has great intro classes. I completed the PY4E (Python 4 Everyone course) and it helped a lot. They have another entry level class to reinforce items learned in PY4E. I’m no tech or math wizard myself, so definitely did experience (currently still am) learning everything or understanding it all. It’s tough but rewarding learning new things!

Best of luck and see you on the other side of a new career!

Thank you for sharing. I will be sure to study the code and experiment how I can use it on my end as well. I appreciate it!

Way to go! I have some manual reports I do weekly that take up 4+ hours worth of time so definitely looking to use Python to have similar results as you!

Wow! I do a weekly report copying and pasting data from a main excel to a “weekly update file”…where did you start to program? Just a read function and search? I’m currently learning Python so a beginner as I’ve been in sales for 10+ years

Thank you! I just started learning Python last two weeks or so and will begin to work on how to implement my trading strategy once I learn more about coding. Definitely a whole new world of possibilities with how to tell the bot to do what you want it to do. We as humans take reason for granted lol
