What is Object-Oriented Programming?
Objective: The aim is for the user to understand the advantages of Object-Oriented Programming.
Types of Variables
Objective: Beyond explaining types of variables (int, double, bool, string), the goal is to emphasize global, specific, public, and private variable types.
Events
Objective: The aim is to explain how a code is structured and what is expected to be accomplished in each segment of the code.
Types of Functions
Objective: To explain what functions are and their purposes (default and custom).
Indicators vs. Trading Bots
Objective: To explain the differences between an indicator as a plotting tool and a trading bot as a tool for automated decision-making.
Controls
Objective: Explain what type of filters and/or logical controls are applied to validate the functionality of the bot.
Your First CBOT
Class and Function Invocation
Objective: The goal is for the user to understand what classes are and their uses in programming.
Use of Indicators
Objective: To explain how indicators are used within a Cbot, what types of logical combinations can be used (greater, lesser, equal, etc.), use of crossovers, matrices, and vectors.
Types of Operations
Objective: To explain what types of operations exist (Buy, Sell) and what types of execution can be used with their differences (Market, Pending, Stop, and Limit).

Take your CBOT to the next level.
Data Quality
Objective: to explain what data is, what types of data are studied, and its importance.
Combinatorial Optimization
Objective: To explain what it is, how it works, and what its purpose is.
Parameters and Statistics
Objective: Explain the evaluation metrics of a report and applicable filters when assessing previously optimized models.
Robustness Test and Data Handling
Objective: To explain what backtesting is, what in-sample and out-of-sample are, and their importance within the tests.
