MQL_Easy is an open source cross platform library for developing MQL4 and MQL5 applications. The purpose of this library is to make the mql development easy, safe and fast in order to focus more on implementing complex trading ideas. The cross platform property assure that the same piece of code works on both platforms. In addition, it has implemented some unique features that make the development easier and faster. However, it does not cover the entire application-programming interface of the mql5/4 language. The goal is not to replace the entire MQL standard library which metaquotes has nicely implemented; it just fills the gap between the MQL4 and MQL5 programing and simplify the development of trading applications.

Documentation
The current documentation does not contain the whole functionality of the MQL_Easy framework/library. It will be updated periodically in the future. Feel free to test, change or customize it to suits your needs better. If you find any issue/bug/improvement let me know.
