Class for working with ticks in the MetaTrader 4. It is suitable for creating experts that make decisions on trading based on the analysis of tick data.
The class can calculate:
Price movement speed;
Price acceleration;
Distance passed by the price;
Price movement direction;
Distance the price may pass based on acceleration.
Example of using the class in an expert.
