Hello,

I am curious it its possible to convert mql coding into visual basic. The reason I ask is that I am toying around with a platform called Fibonacci TraderFibonacci Trader - The first Multiple Time Frame Software for Traders I am using their 2 week free trial now.

Its a multi time frame platform, and their system builder feature is very useful. I use both MT4 and FT but the system builder in FT is very very nice. You can literally design a system and backtest it in just a few minutes. The problem is their indicator selection is rather limited and they don't have such a deposit of knowledge like forex-tsd does with MT4.

the FT platform indicators are all coded in visual basic and I am not much of a coder ( I know a smattering of fortran 77 from engineering course in college).

Is it even possible to convert mql language to visual basic and where might I find some resources?

This bit is quoted from their site, concerning how to code your own indicators
" Do your own programming.
You can create indicators using Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs). A DLL is a subroutine that Fibonacci Trader can link to and use dynamically. The DLL will be created using Visual Basic 6. In order to use this feature you will need some knowledge of VB6 programming. The Fibonacci Trader will pass the information needed to your DLL which will then return the value of your indicator for each bar in addition to the position of the market for that indicator and prices of any signals using that indicator. The Fibonacci Trader will display the indicator and any alarms set for that indicator.
In addition, you will be able to use your DLL indicators in your systems. "

The word "convert" may be a bit loose.
The MQL4 language is a C construct, meaning it uses a syntax & structure that's loosly based on C. I would be surprised if you could find a "Converter" for it but it would be reletively simple although time consuming to "Translate" the MQL4 Code to VB.

Example:
MQL4 For loop;
for(i=0;i==15;i++)
{
do something here;
}

Translation to VB;
i=0
For i=1 to 15
Do something here
Next

Hope that helps answer your question.

Yes it does thanks. It appears on the surface that visual basic is easier language to code in, but I understand now how a "converter" wouldn't work.
