All about MQL5 Wizard : create robots without programming.

 

What is MQL5 Wizard :

The MetaTrader 5 Trading Platform includes the MQL5 Wizard, which allows to quickly generate code of an Expert Advisor (Expert Advisor builder). With MQL5 Wizard, knowledge of programming languages is no longer a prerequisite for creating trading robots. In the past, it really was an impassable obstacle to create automated trading strategies, but the release of the MQL5 Wizard changed the situation radically. With this new expert advisor builder, the programming experience is not required - the application will do all the necessary work to create a free Expert Advisors.

I will try to centralize a maximum of informations about this wonderful tool which is MQL5 Wizard, both for traders as for programmers.

MQL5 Wizard: How to Teach an EA to Open Pending Orders at Any Price



An Expert Advisor generated using the MQL5 Wizard can only open pending orders at the fixed distance from the current price. This means that if the market situation changes (e.g. a change in market volatility), the Expert Advisor will have to be run again with new parameters.

This would not be suitable for many trading systems. In most cases, the price level for pending orders is determined dynamically by a trading system. And the distance from the current price is constantly changing. In this article, we will discuss how to modify an Expert Advisor generated using the MQL5 Wizard so that it can open pending orders at varying distances from the current price.

The NRTR indicator and trading modules based on NRTR for the MQL5 Wizard 


In this article we consider an indicator that builds a dynamic price channel. A trading Expert Advisor is created based on this channel. Such systems can perform well in trend periods, but give a lot of false signals in flat movements. Therefore additional trend indicators are required. Choosing an appropriate indicator is not an easy task, and the choice often depends on specific market conditions. Therefore, a good solution is to provide for a possibility to quickly connect any selected indicator to a ready trading system.


The idea of the NRTR (Nick Rypock Trailing Reverse) indicator was proposed by Konstantin Kopyrkin. Interesting information: the name Nick Rypock is derived from the surname Kopyrkin written backwards.

Money Management by Vince. Implementation as a module for MQL5 Wizard

While working in financial markets, we are constantly looking for a system that would help us earn profit. Of course, we want this system to be stable and to maintain minimum risk. For the purpose of finding such a strategy, different trading systems searching for optimal entries and exits are being developed. Such systems include technical indicators and trading signals advising when to buy and to sell. There is a whole system of price patterns for technical analysis. At the same time, Ralph Vince shows in his book"Mathematics of Money Management" that the amount of the capital used for performing trades is no less important. To optimize profit and to save a deposit, it is necessary to determine the lot size to trade.

It's an coincidence, but in this thread about creating robots without programming, there was no place to mention my work, where the insisting trading robots with artificial intelligence automatically learn to trade. Moreover, now this functionality radically updated and will be implemented on the basis of unique, patented in the US and Europe, neural networks
