Not correct because you view the code and ask for changes as if you wrote it.

Thats why I said a team member, it has its strengths and weakneses and you have to lead it.
Yes but there's a big difference between a coder and a non coder using AI to think that AI is a no code solution...because it isn't. Imagine a non coder developing something from scratch with AI without understanding the framework? If you can professionally overlook what it did, it makes all the difference. Otherwise things will be done incorrectly, it will misunderstand your requests, and there may be several bugs that a non coder won't know how to fix.

Thats what I mean with team member and not team leader. You have to be able to lead it and be able to give it feedback and ask for changes and also you have to break the big task to small technical tasks and maintain the big picture in your head
 

I don't feel the need to try up to now. I don't feel the need to get help while coding (unless this AI could help to improve MetaEditor ). Honestly I don't want to pay or invest time in something I don't feel the need, I am just curious.

Is there anyone here who coud post a real example of code analysis provided by an AI or any other result supposed to help a coder ?

P.S: I tried with free ChatGPT and the results is pretty useless for me as I can read and understand code myself.

One thing I did ask it to do is code a trailing stop loss, and it did work correctly. I also got it to help code a time filter in a cleaner way where the code is more modular. Only sometimes it's going to help, but most of the time it's better for writing the boring basic code to save time. I still find that 75% of the work is put on me which is what I'm ok with if I feel the project is worthwhile

If its o1 pro (at least) - ask it for example to look into the hashing retrieval algorithm, ask it to check its performance, to add code that checks how many iterations the retrieval of a key takes, give it the default hash include as well, ask for a run test script. 

I hope this will demonstrate more what I mean.             

Thats part of the point, to have another team member that understands, can evaluate and accept tasks.

* but again if its less than the o1 pro is way behind the current models ability

I am very interested in whether ChatGPT can create a very intelligent EA. Has anyone used ChatGPT to write an EA?

Yes, I did, But you need to use clear prompts and its better if you have some previous code to let the AI take it as reference.

Have you ever tried use Grok? 

 

Hi Liang Zhang,


ChatGPT (or other AI models) can assist you in writing an EA (Expert Advisor), but there are some important points to keep in mind:


What ChatGPT can help with:

  • Writing basic EA structure and code templates in MQL4 or MQL5

  • Explaining coding concepts and logic behind EA functions

  • Assisting with simple strategies if the logic is clearly described


Where the limitations are:

  • ChatGPT may mix MQL4 and MQL5 syntax if the instructions are not precise

  • More advanced strategies like multi-timeframe analysis, trailing stops, grid systems, or complex risk management often require manual adjustments

  • The AI does not understand your trading logic by itself — it just follows your instructions


Summary:

If you know exactly how your strategy should work and you have at least basic MQL knowledge, ChatGPT can be a good assistant and save you time.

If you are looking for a fully working and optimized EA without experience in trading or coding, you will likely still need a human developer, especially for testing and debugging.
