Backtesting

Learning how to backtest my systems in Metatrader lately. This really is a richly featured program, and the fact that it's free really blows my mind. I'm very impressed. Does anyone have any resources (other than the guide on metaquotes) for writing experts and such with the MQL language? Also, do any of you guys trade with moving average crosses? I've been backtesting and modifying a few systems that utilize WMA crosses for signals. They perform pretty well on the majors. Just curious if anyone actively trades with a system like that.

Candlesticks and Indicators

Hey guys. Really going through trading withdrawl here. I might be getting a wireless connection in my room in 2 weeks or so. So I may be doing some trading on a demo account if that happens. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Otherwise, I've been researching the japanese candlestick charting. So far I think think it's very nice. I was curious how many of you out there use candlesticks over the standard charts? Also I'm looking into lots of indicators trying to determine which combinations are best for spotting divergences accurately. Any suggestions?
