Build a Script to Automate MT5 Optimization & Forward Validation

Tarea técnica

1. Objective
Create an MT5 automation script (or set of scripts) that fully automates my strategy optimization workflow, including:
Batch optimization runs
Automatic filtering of results
Automatic forward testing
Exporting and organizing results into structured files/folders
The goal is to reduce manual work and allow one‑click execution of the entire pipeline.

2. Platform & Environment
MetaTrader 5
Windows 11
EA already exists (I will provide the .mq5 or .ex5 file)
Script must work with MT5 Strategy Tester
No DLLs unless absolutely necessary

3. Required Features
3.1 Optimization Automation
Launch optimization automatically with predefined inputs:
Symbol
Timeframe
Date range
Optimization mode (Genetic / All symbols selected / etc.)
Parameter ranges
Ability to run multiple optimization batches sequentially (different symbols, timeframes, or parameter sets).
3.2 Result Filtering
After each optimization run, the script must automatically filter results based on criteria such as:
Minimum number of trades
Minimum profit factor
Maximum drawdown
Minimum expected payoff
Custom filters (I will specify exact thresholds)
Filtered results must be exported automatically.
3.3 Forward Testing Automation
For each filtered optimization result:
Launch a forward test using a predefined forward period
Collect forward test metrics
Export results automatically
Organize results by:
Symbol
Timeframe
Optimization batch
Parameter set
3.4 File Output & Organization
Export optimization and forward results to CSV or XLSX
Include all key metrics (profit factor, drawdown, trades, etc.)
Create a clean folder structure:
/OptimizationResults
/ForwardResults
/Logs
Include timestamps and parameter sets in filenames

4. User Interface (Simple)
A simple input panel or .ini file where I can define:
Symbols
Timeframes
Optimization ranges
Forward test period
Filtering thresholds
Output folder
No complex GUI required.

5. Logging
Detailed logs of each step
Errors must be clearly reported
Summary log at the end of each batch

6. Deliverables
Fully working .mq5 script(s)
Source code required
Short documentation explaining:
How to run the automation
How to change parameters
Folder structure
Troubleshooting notes

7. Developer Requirements
Experience with MT5 Strategy Tester automation
Strong MQL5 scripting skills
Ability to write clean, modular code
Good communication during development
