Automated Trading

An Expert Advisor is an automated trading system (ATS) written in the MetaQuotes Language IV (MQL IV) and linked to a particular chart. That Expert Advisor is not only able to notify you of trading opportunities, but can also execute trades on your trading account, sending them through to the trading server. Expert Advisors will also let you test your strategies on historical data, and will plot entry/exit points on the chart.

Write Your Own

Writing your own Expert Advisor is fairly straightforward. You don't need to be a professional programmer. You can get started by reading the MQL IV User Guide (for MT4).
