Algorithmic Trading In MQL5: Code Robots & Free Up Your Time

In this course, you will learn how to fully automate your trading using MetaTrader 5 trading robots (expert advisors). We will code an expert advisor from scratch that can trade in different financial markets, such as forex, cryptocurrencies, indices, commodities, and stocks. The course is organized into 2 blocks and 12 sections.

BLOCK 1: MQL5 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE In section 1, we will review the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform and introduce the MQL5 programming language and its applications. In sections 2 to 5, we will cover the fundamentals of the MQL5 language. In these sections, we will address all the basic features of the language, with plenty of examples and exercises closely related to trading.

This way, the course will offer you practical, engaging, and interesting content while being concise to fast-track you to the most exciting part, sections 6 to 12. BLOCK 2: METATRADER 5 EXPERT ADVISOR CODINGThis block begins with section 6, where we will introduce you to expert advisors and share a widely known trading system that has been extensively used in the past. In sections 7 to 11, we will apply all the knowledge acquired in previous lessons to code a trading robot that automates a trading system and trades uninterrupted as long as the markets are open.

We will equip our expert advisor with a structure that serves as a framework for other projects, including triggers for entry and exit points. Additionally, we will include basic aspects of position management, such as placing stop loss and take profit orders, as well as more advanced management like trailing stop loss and break-even. Finally, in section 12, we will validate the system.
