We've recently improved our MetaTrader 4 London Breakout expert advisor, and now we've released a port of that "robot" to MetaTrader 5, using the new object-oriented features of the MQL5 language. You can download the MQL5 source code from our Community forum.

Jim — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 12:30:36 +0000

MetaQuotes announced yesterday that from now on the source code for MetaTrader 5 expert advisors written by 3rd parties (such as the Trading Gurus!) will be made available for download through the MT5 client terminal. To celebrate this fact we've rewritten our latest "Really Random Robot" in an object-oriented style, and uploaded it to the MQL5 Code Base. MetaQuotes have already kindly translated the instructions into Russian for us! We're eagerly waiting to discover how many MetaTrader 5 beta testers download it and try it out. So far today we're up to 16.

MetaTrader Robot Ported to FXCM Strategy Trader

Jim — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:06:25 +0000

We've been beta testing FXCM's new Strategy Trader automated trading platform for a couple of months now, and after quite a few trials and tribulations we've finally got our trusty first example robot to work successfully on it. FXCM refer to trading systems written for Strategy Trader as "Strategy Advisors", and they are implemented based around bars rather than ticks like MetaTrader 4. That means you really need to run this advisor on a tick chart to stay in the market 100% of the time, like the MT4 version does. We still haven't managed to get that working reliably, but it does seem to run fine on a one minute chart and up. If you'd like to take a look you can download the C# source code from our community forum.

The One Minute Daily London Breakout System

Jim — Sat, 01 May 2010 20:02:53 +0000

A user of one of our example robots informed us that a system called 1 Minute Daily seemed to be getting people on the forex forums excited, and asked us to look into it. Apparently, unlike so many other forex trading systems sold through ClickBank these days, this one doesn't come complete with a "robot". The way it was described to us it sounded an awful lot like a member of the group of range breakout systems often referred to as "London breakout systems".

Jim — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 15:21:11 +0000

Having ported our example moving average crossover MT4 robot to MetaTrader 5 following the recent launch of the MT5 strategy tester we've now taken the next step. We've rewritten the expert advisor using the object oriented framework supplied by MetaQuotes as part of MetaTrader 5. You can take a look at our source code and see if this new way of producing robots appeals to you or not.

Now that MetaTrader 5 is finally able to perform backtests we've rewritten another of our example MT4 expert advisors to run on MetaTrader 5. Since the members of our forum seem to be particularly keen on moving average crossover systems at the moment, we've ported our robot example 3 over to MQL5 and tested it out using the MT5 strategy tester. If you want to try this for yourself please feel free to download our MQL5 source code.

The MetaTrader 4 Backtesting Blues – Track 1

Jim — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 14:12:21 +0000

The recent introduction by Alpari UK of "interbank spreads" on their MetaTrader 4 demo accounts has given us the perfect opportunity to demonstrate one of the potential problems you might encounter using the MetaTrader 4 strategy tester to evaluate a forex trading strategy you have developed for yourself, or even bought off a virtual shelf. Our regular readers will know that we have performed numerous live tests and backtests on the Forex MegaDroid "robot". Today is a Saturday, so I had a few minutes spare to run yet another backtest on the Droid. I started the simulation on March 30th 2009, the date the Forex MegaDroid team launched their creation amid great fanfare, and finished it yesterday evening. Here's what the Alpari UK MetaTrader 4 demo strategy tester showed me:
