This expert pathway introduces algorithmic trading in a practical way: MQL5 architecture, indicators, Expert Advisors, execution controls, testing, optimisation, copy-trading, telemetry and portfolio supervision. The objective is to build robots and indicators that are understandable, testable and defensible, not black boxes that run without governance.
Educational content only: nothing in this Academy is a recommendation to buy or sell and no return is promised. Exercises should remain in a demo environment until the plan, risk and limits have been validated.
Learning sequence
Step 3 · Expert. Recommended prerequisite: master a testable strategy and intermediate-level risk controls.
