Check out the new article: Larry Williams Market Secrets (Part 2): Automating a Market Structure Trading System.

Learn how to automate Larry Williams market structure concepts in MQL5 by building a complete Expert Advisor that reads swing points, generates trade signals, manages risk, and applies a dynamic trailing stop strategy.

In the first article of this series, we addressed part of this problem by building a custom Market Structure indicator in MQL5 based on concepts presented in Larry Williams's book, Long-Term Secrets to Short-Term Trading. That indicator identifies short and intermediate-term swing points directly on the chart, giving traders a clear, structured view of price behavior. In this second article, we take the next logical step. We move from visual analysis to full automation. Using MQL5, we design an Expert Advisor that reads market structure data from the indicator and converts it into actionable trading decisions. The goal is to show how a discretionary idea can be expressed as clear rules and executed automatically without emotional interference.

This article is part of the Larry Williams Market Secrets series, in which each installment focuses on implementing one concept from Larry Williams' work in a practical, testable way. In this part, we focus on short and intermediate-term swing points and demonstrate how they can be used to trigger trades immediately after structure is confirmed. By the end of this article, the reader will have a working trading system that bridges the gap between market structure theory and real-world automation using MQL5.

Good morning, interesting expert advisor, I wanted to ask if it's possible to have the complete code for MetaTrader 4, please.
Also, since I don't know how to use and write in MQL, I wanted to ask if you could send me the expert advisor's ready-made file for MetaTrader 4 so I can paste it into the platform.
Let me know if it's possible for you, and thanks again and congratulations on the work you've done.

Dear William,

Thank you for your kind words and for following my work.

Regarding your request, I specialize exclusively in MQL5 development for the MetaTrader 5 platform. Because the architecture of MT4 and MT5 is significantly different, porting the code requires a complete rewrite.

Unfortunately, I am unable to fulfill custom coding requests or conversions at this time due to my current project schedule. I appreciate your understanding and hope you find the MT5 version of the article useful.

Thanks for the feedback, but unfortunately I only use MetaTrader 4 because I find it better than MetaTrader 5.
It doesn't matter, it's a shame, I really would have liked to have the expert for MT4, but thank you anyway. You were kind enough to reply and explain your reasons.
