Part 0: My Plan — From Mobile Python (CSV) to EA Development

Part 0: My Plan — From Mobile Python (CSV) to EA Development

I want to build a complete trading system starting from scratch using only my smartphone, Python, and real market data.

Instead of jumping directly into coding or automation, I will follow a step-by-step process to understand how everything works.

This is the roadmap I will follow:

Stage 1 — Learning the Basics

1. Understanding market structure
2. Learning support and resistance
3. Building a simple trading strategy

Stage 2 — Using My Smartphone

4. Building trading logic using Python
5. Using Pydroid on Android

Stage 3 — Working with Real Data

6. Learning CSV and OHLC data
7. Reading CSV data using Python
8. Preparing data for backtesting

Stage 4 — Backtesting My Strategy

9. Building a simple backtesting system
10. Testing my strategy
11. Analyzing the results

Stage 5 — Fixing Mistakes

12. Understanding why backtests can be misleading
13. Learning about spread and slippage
14. Avoiding overfitting

Stage 6 — Moving to Automation

15. Turning strategy into clear rules
16. Preparing the strategy for automation
17. Converting logic into EA concept

Stage 7 — Building My First EA

18. Learning MQL5 basics
19. Building a simple EA
20. Backtesting the EA

Stage 8 — Real Testing

21. Forward testing
22. Evaluating performance

Stage 9 — Sharing My Results

23. Sharing my journey
24. Showing my results
25. Explaining what I learned

Goal:
Turn a simple trading idea into a working automated system.

In the next post, I will start with the first step: understanding market structure.
