http://trendchaser.org/forum/phpBB3/...php?f=64&t=350

im about to close down the forum, so you might wanna save it

youl find alot of copy n paste functions iv made to go into my style of coding
Hi trendchaser, that is an awesome tutorial. Easy to understand language & flows along smooth (must be the liquid, lol).
Really appreciate the time you have taken to post your ea tutorial for so many people to read.
cheers scalpz

maybe i should open a site thats dedicated to teaching ppl to code

that's an Awesome idea...
also, I always thought a Visual drag and drop GUI that creates the code for you would be cool online.
I know you can buy that visual studio software that I think creates EA's for you.

If you ever pursue this idea, let me know..i'd love to be a part of it.
taking series 3 and 34
Genius idea! Question is would it be worth it/possible....I know what you mean about that IExpert software thing,,was tempted to get it once but wasn't sure it would do EVERYTHING I would want...

This manual rocks!

How long does it take an average programmer to build an EA (moderate high complexility) which is about 1000 lines of code? Approximate idea... dont tell me its up to your skills. What is the average.

How many EA's did you create until you found a good one which is kinda alright for you?

Your question cannot be answered as precisely as you would like. The main reason is the writing of the code is very small part of the actual development cycle of an EA. First is the requirements gathering (specs). That can take a few hours, or a few weeks. The coding itself is dependent on how much code can be reused from other similar EAs. Then comes testing and that typically takes up the most time. That will be dependent on the number of scenarios that must be tested (eg 1, 2 or 3 TPs), the number of different entry rules, the difficulty of finding data, the data quality.

I could go on further, but I want to keep my answer short.


As for your second point, I have written more than 30. I have one that is consistently profitable and a few more very close to break even. The rest are hopeless consistent losers.
