Expert Advisors (Trading Robots)
What are Expert Advisors?
Expert Advisors (EAs) are automated trading programs that can analyze markets, make trading decisions, and execute trades without human intervention. They run 24/7 and follow predefined trading strategies.
Getting Started with EAs
- 1Download TTC software includes everything needed (.ex5 file)
- 2Copy the folder to MT5/MQL5 folder
- 3Restart MetaTrader 5 platform
- 4Drag EA onto chart and configure settings
- 5Enable automated trading and "Allow Algo Trading" within Common tab of robot
Important Considerations
- • Always test EAs on demo accounts first
- • Understand the strategy before using real money
- • Monitor EA performance regularly
- • Keep MT5 platform running for continuous operation
- • Ensure stable internet connection
EA Configuration Parameters
CBP Framework - Advanced Crypto Trading
What is CBP Framework?
The CBP (CryptoBridgeProClass) Framework is a specialized robot framework designed to build crypto trading robots faster with MQL5. It provides a unified API that allows you to write code once and trade on several supported crypto exchanges simultaneously.
Framework Architecture
CryptoBridgeProClass:
The core class containing all functionalities that interact with crypto exchanges. All trading functions and exchange communications live in this class.
CBP Framework:
A child class inherited from CryptoBridgeProClass that leverages existing components to provide user-friendly syntax for robot development.
Chart_All Robot:
Imports data from crypto exchanges and creates native MT5 charts using CustomSymbol functionality.
Robots and Scripts:
Create robots for full automation or scripts for simple trading functionality.
Simple Trading Functions
The framework provides intuitive trading functions that make crypto trading implementation straightforward:
// Simple buy limit orderbot.tradeBid(1.0, 34000);// Function signature:tradeBid(quantity, priceOfBuyLimitOrder)quantity: Amount of crypto to trade
priceOfBuyLimitOrder: Target price for the buy order
Result: Executes buy limit order on connected exchanges
Key Advantages
- • Rapid Development: Spend less time coding, more time on algorithms
- • Multi-Exchange Support: Trade on multiple crypto exchanges simultaneously
- • Direct Data Access: Use real crypto exchange data via Chart_All robot
- • Broker Independence: Bypass traditional MT5 brokerages completely
Getting Started
- 1. Set up Chart_All robot to import crypto exchange data
- 2. Use CBP Framework's simplified trading functions
- 3. Deploy across multiple crypto exchanges
Important Notes for CBP Framework
CustomSymbol Requirements:
- • Use Chart_All robot for data import
- • Ensure CustomSymbol charts are properly configured
- • Verify crypto exchange API connections
Framework Benefits:
- • No dependency on traditional forex brokers
- • Real-time crypto exchange data
- • Simplified multi-exchange trading
Complete CBP Robot Example
Robot.MQL5 - Complete Implementation
Here's a complete example of how to implement a crypto trading robot using the CBP Framework. This example shows the basic structure and essential functions needed to get started.
#include <TradingToolCrypto\CBP\CBPFrameWork.mqh>
CBPFrameWork *cb;// create the bridge instance as a pointer
// therefore init, and deinit functions will load properly
int OnInit()
{
cb = new CBPFrameWork();// Creates the instance and then loads the api keys
return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{
delete cb; // Clean up the framework instance
}
void OnTick()
{
cb.balance("",0,20);
cb.positionTotal();
cb.orderPending();
// Your trading logic here
// Example: Check market conditions and execute trades
double currentPrice = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_BID);
if(/* your buy condition */)
{
cb.tradeBid(1.0, currentPrice - 100); // Buy 1.0 units at current price - 100
}
if(/* your sell condition */)
{
cb.tradeAsk(1.0, currentPrice + 100); // Sell 1.0 units at current price + 100
}
}Code Breakdown
Imports the CBP Framework library
Creates framework instance as pointer for proper initialization
Initializes the framework and loads API keys
Executes core framework functions for account monitoring
Key Functions Explained
Implementation Steps
- 1. Include the CBP Framework header
- 2. Declare framework pointer variable
- 3. Initialize in OnInit() function
- 4. Implement your trading logic in OnTick()
- 5. Compile and deploy to MT5
Important Notes
- • Ensure API keys are properly configured
- • Test with small volumes first
- • Use CustomSymbol charts for crypto data
- • Check Journal/Experts tab for error handling
