Claude Artificial Intelligence

On-demand AI price direction estimator for MetaTrader 4

Overview

Claude Direction Insight adds a single button to your chart. Click it, and the EA sends the most recent bars of price data to Claude (Anthropic's AI model) and returns an estimated probability split — for example, "Up: 63% / Down: 37%" — along with a one-line rationale, displayed directly on your chart.

It's built for traders who want a fast, independent second opinion on short-term direction without switching windows or running a separate analysis tool.

Key features

• One-click analysis — no automation, no background polling. You control exactly when a request is made.
• Works on any symbol or timeframe — sends whatever chart you're viewing.
• Plain-language rationale — not just a number, a short explanation of what stood out in the recent price action.
• Lightweight — no external DLLs, no extra installers. Pure MQL4 using MT4's built-in WebRequest.
• Configurable context window — choose how many recent bars are sent (default 50).

How it works

1. You click "Ask Claude" on the chart.
2. The EA packages the recent OHLC bars for the current symbol/timeframe into a request.
3. The request is sent securely to the Anthropic API using your own API key.
4. Claude analyzes the recent price structure and returns an estimated up/down percentage split with a short rationale.
5. The result appears as a label directly on your chart.

4. Enter your API key in the EA's Inputs tab ( InpApiKey ).
5. Click "Ask Claude" whenever you want an estimate.

Important disclaimer

This tool provides an AI-generated estimate based on recent price data — it is not a certified trading signal, not backtested, and not a guarantee of future performance. Language models are not specialized quantitative forecasting systems; treat the output as one input among many, not a standalone basis for trade decisions. Past results (simulated or otherwise) do not guarantee future results. Trading forex/CFDs carries substantial risk of loss. Test thoroughly on a demo account before any live use, and always apply your own risk management.
