Hm... I did almost got through with the entire lua literature for programming at fxcodebase. You can find the whole guide about lua there. But I have not found any How to video manual unless you have money to pay for webinars, which I do not have :/ But if you have, there is a programmer there Apprentice who can teach you unless he is busy.

I have been diving into it as well. I am just doing so many things at the same time by myself that I just can't manage it. :/
I hope this was helpful. Let me know how it goes for you.
Are you a programmer?

Yeah I am a programmer... I found some descent indicators on fxcode base that I can pull apart to get an understanding of the lua

programming language. I was just looking to design a simple indicator. I find myself forcing to stay up at night to catch some good

trading opportunities. Then I thought to myself why not design an indicator to use my strategy and trade it while I sleep...😁

Its coming along ok so far.. I was looking for some additional help.

heheheh...that is some great thinking :D That is definitely the way to go. It is what I wanted to do too but only when I am awake :D
MAke sure you always test and test and test your strategy before you start running it. What time zone do you live in?
What kind of additional help were you looking for?

I think my timezone is GMT 4. I am from Trinidad which is a little way off the coast of Venezuela. Just some help on syntax and maybe good programming methodologies to use when designing fx code in lua.
