Check out the new article: From Novice to Expert: Animated News Headline Using MQL5 (IV) — Locally hosted AI model market insights.
In today's discussion, we explore how to self-host open-source AI models and use them to generate market insights. This forms part of our ongoing effort to expand the News Headline EA, introducing an AI Insights Lane that transforms it into a multi-integration assistive tool. The upgraded EA aims to keep traders informed through calendar events, financial breaking news, technical indicators, and now AI-generated market perspectives—offering timely, diverse, and intelligent support to trading decisions. Join the conversation as we explore practical integration strategies and how MQL5 can collaborate with external resources to build a powerful and intelligent trading work terminal.
In this discussion, we explore how to leverage open-source AI models to enhance our algorithmic trading tools—specifically, how to expand the News Headline EA with an AI Insights lane. The goal is to help newcomers find a solid starting point. Who knows? Today, you may be integrating a model; tomorrow, you might be building one. But it all begins by understanding the foundations laid by those who came before us.
We can’t have a conversation about modern advancements without mentioning artificial intelligence and its rapidly growing influence on human tasks. When it comes to algorithmic trading, the discussion becomes even more relevant—trading is already driven by numbers and automation, making AI a natural fit compared to other areas that still require a shift from manual processes.
While AI models have become powerful tools across various fields, not everyone has the resources or expertise to build their own models due to the complexity involved in developing fully functional systems. Fortunately, the rise of open-source initiatives has made it possible to access and benefit from pre-trained models at no cost. These community-driven efforts offer a practical entry point for many developers and enthusiasts.
That said, premium models often provide broader capabilities due to the extensive work invested in them. Still, open-source models are a valuable starting point, especially for those looking to integrate AI without reinventing the wheel.
In the previous discussion, we focused on Indicator Insights. Today, we’ll explore how to harness open‑source AI for algorithmic trading by self‑hosting a quantized language model and integrating it directly into an MQL5 Expert Advisor. In the next section, we’ll begin with a brief primer on the roles of llama.cpp (the lightweight inference engine) and a 4‑bit GGUF model (the compressed “brain”), then walk through downloading and preparing the model, setting up a local Python‑based inference server with FastAPI, and finally wiring it into the News Headline EA to create a dynamic AI Insights lane.
