Developing a multi-currency Expert Advisor (Part 15): Preparing EA for real trading

We have already achieved certain results in the previous articles, but there is still much to do. The end result we would like to see is a multi-currency EA that can be set to work on a real account or several real accounts with different brokers. So far, our efforts have been focused on achieving good trading results during testing, since without this it is impossible to achieve good trading with a developed EA on a real account. Now that we have more or less decent test results, we can look a little towards ensuring correct operation on a real account.

Developing a multi-currency Expert Advisor (Part 16): Impact of different quote histories on test results

In the previous article, we started preparing the multi-currency EA for trading on a real account. As part of the preparation process, we added support for different names of trading instruments, automatic completion of trading when you want to change the settings of trading strategies, and correct resumption of the EA after restarting for various reasons.

Developing a multi-currency Expert Advisor (Part 17): Further preparation for real trading

In one of the previous articles, we already turned our attention to the EA improvements necessary for working on real accounts. Until now, our efforts have been focused mainly on getting acceptable EA results in the strategy tester. Real trading requires much more preparations.

Developing a multi-currency Expert Advisor (Part 18): Automating group selection considering forward period

We have implemented automation of the second stage of optimization using the forward period. Again, no clear advantages were identified. The task turned out to be much broader and required more time than we initially expected. In the process, many new questions arose that are still waiting for their turn.

We were able to see that if a forward period falls on an unsuccessful period of the EA's work, then we seem not to be able to use it to select good combinations of parameters.

I decided to create this thread to help to myself and to the others to start with Metatrader 5.

I am experienced in MT4 and in forex in general (i hope : ) but we traders really need to collect all the information about it in one place.
I will make some posts about 'how I am starting with MT5'. :)

Please make your any question about Metatrader 5 and I will try to answer them,

Are you about Metatrader 5 trading platform?
If yes so - your computer should be on 64-bit Windows, and Microsoft Edge should be installed on computer.
Because MT5 is working with 64-bit Windows only.

Yes, I am on my laptop now, and MT5 is downloaded and installed. But I connected MT5 to the trading accounts and the price is moved on the charts because of that.

Developing a multi-currency Expert Advisor (Part 19): Creating stages implemented in Python

We accomplished the task and the hypothesis was confirmed. So, next looked at how we could improve the results of such automatic selection. It turned out that if we split the set of all single instances into a relatively small number of clusters and make sure that instances from the same cluster do not end up in it when selecting a group, then this will help not only improve the trading results of the final EA, but also reduce the time for the selection process itself. 

To perform clustering, we used a ready-made library scikit-learn for Python, or, more precisely, the implementation of the K-Means algorithm. This is not the only clustering algorithm, but considering other possible ones, comparing and choosing the best one, as applied to this problem, was beyond the acceptable limits. Therefore, essentially the first algorithm that came to hand was taken, and the results obtained using it turned out to be quite good.
