This course shows how to build basic Expert Advisors for MetaTrader 5 that are based on popular technical indicators. The learning concept is “learning by watching”: you are not required to carry out coding exercises during the course.
The course first covers and narrates step-by-step how to trade with some of the most popular technical indicators. Thereafter the course shows what to consider when back-testing and optimizing Expert Advisors, and how to create a so-called local network farm (that is, parallel computing) to speed up the optimization process.
This is followed by step-by-step coding of six Expert Advisors that carry out medium-frequency trading. First, the course shows how to build an Expert Advisor base code platform that includes key functionalities such as, for instance, trailing stop, dynamic lotsize calculator, new candle function, and an open position counter function. Thereafter the course shows how to complement this base code platform with code specific for six popular technical indicators, resulting in six fully functioning Expert Advisors.
The coding process is narrated and fully explained, and only very basic coding procedures are used: often simplicity is best. In addition, all source code is complemented by extensive written comment sections for easy understanding. Of these six Expert Advisors, I also show and narrate the back—testing and optimization process for the first five. As for the final and sixth Expert Advisor: the course leaves the back-testing and optimization process to you! The source code for the base code platform, and the six fully functional technical indicator Expert Advisors, are available for download and unlimited use.
The course is concluded by a section that in detail presents the results from simultaneously running the five back-tested and optimized Expert Advisors during hostile financial market conditions: one week of live demo account trading on the pair GOLD-USD during the 2023 bank crisis. How did it go? Join the course to find out!
My hope is that this course is a valuable step in your journey to create your own Expert Advisors and become an algo-trader!
