Thanks where is this exactly? And I mean I want to make an EA that recognises specific candle types and formations such as stars,hammers,doji,engulfing and so on.

int start()
  { 
  
if(High[0]>High[1]){
// we will write the rest of the code
}
  return(0);
  }

if(((Close[1]-Open[1])*2) < (Open[1]-Low[1]) &&( (High[1]-Close[1])<(Close[1]-Open[1]))){

// write open buy code here

}

and if those formations could be progrmamed into ea or indicator that alerts or trades them at the top and bottom of trends or pull backs/reversals would be great but I don't think a computer can do that.

Basic question but I have almost no knowledge of mql4 yet.

I'm Interested in making an EA in future which would incorporate candles for Entries and more importantly trend changes, exit signals and exits. Would I need to use mathematical modelling for this or is it more simple than that?
