An instance of a class. Objects encapsulate state (data fields) and behavior (methods) as defined by their class. In cBots (C#), when you write a class for an EA, creating an object of that class (via the engine) initializes it and calls its event methods. MQL5 also allows creating objects (e.g., graphical objects on charts) using ObjectCreate() and setting their properties.
