Forex Trading Automation — Bot (EA) Creation

Build, backtest and deploy your own forex trading bot (Expert Advisor) in MQL5 — risk controls, strategy rules and live testing on a demo account.

A trading bot is software with rules, not magic. This track teaches you to translate a strategy into code, test it on historical data, and run it with risk limits you understand — in MQL5 for MetaTrader 5, plus a Python option for research.

You will write an Expert Advisor from scratch: entry and exit rules, stop loss and take profit, position sizing, spread and slippage handling, trade logging, and a walk-forward backtest you can defend. Everything is practised on a demo account; nothing here is financial advice.

What you will be able to do

  • ["Write and compile a working Expert Advisor in MQL5", "Encode entry, exit, stop-loss and take-profit rules precisely", "Backtest a strategy, read the report and spot curve-fitting", "Add risk controls: lot sizing, daily loss limit, max spread", "Deploy to a demo account and keep a trade journal"]
