Module #2 - Why EasyLanguage isn't EASY!

Level: Beginner to Intermediate

Purpose of Module #2 - 2 HOURS of VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS

The Easiness factor (E) in EasyLanguage is tied to complexity—when complexity increases, ease

decreases. In this module, however, I argue that there are additional elements that can make

EasyLanguage challenging, even without a corresponding rise in algorithm complexity. A system might

have a simple algorithm, but if you don’t understand the language's inner workings, programming it can

still be a struggle. Mastering the subtle tricks and understanding what occurs beneath the surface is

essential before you can create anything meaningful. Once you’ve worked through this module, you

might consider exploring my Easing into EasyLanguage series for further insights. This module covers

topics from both the Foundation and Hi-Res editions.

Keeping things really simple to uncover basic stumbling blocks.

We are going to be using a very simple algorithm, the "Hello World" program for trading systems, the

Donchian break out throughout this installment. Following the equation above, the ease factor should

be quite low. Just as the meaning of a phrase in a spoken language can change with context, a single

line of EasyLanguage code can have different interpretations and effects depending on its

surroundings, and much like the butterfly effect, even the smallest, seemingly insignificant tweaks can

lead to dramatic, system-wide changes. This flexibility allows for creative and efficient coding, but it

also means that understanding the underlying context and nuances is crucial. Recognizing that a line

of code is more than just a static command—it’s a dynamic element whose impact can vary based on

how and where it's used—empowers you to write more effective and adaptable programs.

Look at the images of the product page and see if you have seen these issues. Get Module #2 and figure out why these scenarios happen and more importantly find out how to fix them. Work your way through the course along with George and almost 2 HOURS of video instruction. He will show a total of 12 potential solutions to the problem and then explain why they will or will not work.
