MQ4, XML and C
-
Hello fxdreema
Great job your doing,
I have a curious situation I am trying to resolve. I have come to see how unreliable MT4 is. So I want to shift my testing to other back-testing softwares (e.g Zorro). For Zorro, they use lite-c.
I am looking for a way to skip the learning curve for the programming language and I remember you used to allow exports via XML.
My IDEA is to get the XML format and convert to C++ for easy use
So I have a question and a request:
-
Can you bring back the [Export XML] option?
-
Do you have any suggestions on how I can simply convert XML to C++, the jargon I have seen on the internet confuses me more.

That .xml option produced XML representation of the way the project looks in the database. It contains information like how many blocks they are, how they are positioned, what are their settings and stuff like this. There is nothing related to MQL4. The same information now goes into each .mq4/.mq5 file at the bottom, but it's compressed and encoded.
I don't understand C++ and I will never understand it. I tried to do some thing before on C++, but this language is just not for me. So I don't know what to say about it
I was looking at this Zorro software, but to be honest, I have no idea what it does. First I was thinking that it's some alternative for MT4's Tester, but then I found that it's nothing like that and I lost it. I don't know what Zorro is all about
And yes, MT4 can be very unreliable sometimes.

aH I get it now. Too bad.
I only came across Zorro today, it seems like MATLAB for Financial data analysis and EA programming. I know must pro-automated traders subscribe to this type and used them as dll's or api's (whatever those are) with their brokers
I have been trying to dodge learning it too 
Well if I come up with anything useful I will put it here. Great work your're doing. Thanks.
