It explains in very simple turns what a function call is and how it's done.

In this lesson we write several functions, and to demonstrate how one function calls another and the flow of information back and forth from Start() to the other functions and back. We also examine the "switch" operator and how it works.

Mql4 lesson 9 Part 1

This is the first video in a series where we make a self-adjusting Moving Average using the MaAdjuster() function we made in video 8, We will build it one line at a time explaining all the terms and functions as we go.You will learn how a moving average is really drawn on your chart and also all about the arrays that are created when you open a chart and what they do.

We will learn about SetIndexBuffer, SetIndesDrawBegin, SetIndexStyle,SetIndexlabel. Also we learn about drawing arrows and what windings are.
We explore the iMa() function and put it together one parameter at a time.. finally at the end I explain the difference between the 'Ma_Shift' and the 'Shift' settings in the iMA() function. There are only a few lines of code left to write, but alot of explaing to do about them... enjoy...
