This short advanced module introduces the essential mindset of algorithmic trading: define explicit rules, configure MetaTrader 5 correctly, test a first strategy, read the key metrics and identify classic backtest traps before any live deployment.

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.
