Hello guys,
I have researched about writing MetaTrader plugins but nothing useful has come up. I would be really thankful, if you guys can provide me with some sort of reference/guidance materials on this subject.
By plugin i mean things like floating charts & autoshartist etc
Any kind of resource material would be appreciated.
Best Regards,

Well, I am more EA minded than plugins, but maybe this helps you. The site I am using a lot is docs.mql4.com. But the changes are that you already know it.
Thanks for your reply. But i know the site and there is nothing related to MT4 plugins on it.
Hmmm, I looked into plugins a bit more and found autochartist (the one you mentioned). It looks like it use custom indicators in MT4 that are described in much detail on that site. Aren’t you overlooking something here?
Let me show the picture that I have seen:
Also the screens in that chart can be generated with EA’s. As example, the menu on this picture appears to be on the background of the chart (Grid is showing through). Perhaps this is why you can’t find a lot about plugins, because plugins may not be the official name?
The same for Forex Analysis Tool FX Pulse 1.0
Just a thought to help you out.
Actually, it looks cool and inspired me. I think I will build one myself. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you for your interest mate.
I agree with you about AutoCharts.
But the other example is purely a plugin. Not an EA/indicator.
Whatever makes you happy.
Just so you know. The other sample can be done with an EA as well (and is almost surely done using an EA). I just wrote a similar one myself. It is very simple, only the locations of the objects is a bit annoying to document. I only don’t know how they included the clocks. The rest is easier than my scripts.
So I think you have found your resources to make similar stuff.
