Is it easy to learn to code EAs if I already know Java and C++?

Yes, of course
There are many similarities between C++ and MQL code.

what operation do ? :

I created a detailed IF model, hopefully this makes it easier to understand.

if (adxM5 > 25){
    trendM5 = 1;
}else if (adxM5 < 20){
    trendM5 = -1;
}else{
    trendM5 = 0;
}

Something is diferent at mq5, transfered my best mq4 cascade to mq5 ,but is gone wild ride .
Mq4 rocks ! hands down smoth rocket machine !

mq5 loading each tick new indicator window.....why???
ok now ..what i did found out is indicator fault.
not all fit into universal custom indi formula.

if u’ve got java and c++ under ur belt, picking up mql5 is basically just wrapping ur head around the api structure—u’ll be fine. best to just dive straight into the official docs, though. focus on getting how mt5 handles oop and memory management; it’s a totally different beast compared to the mt4 way, esp with order management and tick data. honestly, spending time digging through the example code is way more efficient than trying to port ur old logic over. u’ve got the technical foundation, so once u iron out those platform quirks, u’ll be set.
