This book is going to mean a great deal to anyone interested in it's subject matter. I bought this book the day it was published. As far as I know it is the first book ever published on this subject and thankfully it also happens to be a great book. It deals with the concept of creating a an Expert Advisor from scratch in a highly robust fashion. It's clear and concise. So much so that with very little programming experience I was able to create my first ever EA on day one after recieving this book. It starts with making a simple EA, then continues to add extra functionality and robustness. By the time you finnish you will have a program which will trade via simple rules (which you can then change to your own strategy) but it will have also included money management functions, trailing stops with a minimum profit stops embedded in it. It can also have a break even stop and the ability to close all orders at once, functions which will calculate the lot size you wish to use,automatically check how many digits your broker uses and the implications then on lot size and much more. This book is worth its weight in Gold!
Nothing else like it. May 6, 2010

/*Buy this book if:
1. You are new to the language
2. Are aware of it but need a structured build up to learn it.
3. As a good reference.
I am not a programmer. Young has written this for humans.
Looking forward to seeing a sequel/advanced methods/add-on/Meta-trader 5 primer.*/ ;)
Great Book May 10, 2010

If you want to start in creating your own EA just buy it. For me it was the missing link.
