Expert Advisors
Expert Advisors (experts) are programs in the terminal that have been developed in MetaQuotes Language 4 (MQL 4) and used for automation of analytical and trading processes. They allow to perform prompt technical analysis of price data and manage trading activities on basis of signals received. The entire routine work of technical analysis and trading can be given to experts. An expert can perform analytical and trading operations for any symbols or periods independent on whether the corresponding chart was opened or not.
