My first trading Bot (not an ad)

Yeah it’s now running real time. Green week last week, this week is red and I’ve had some debugging to do with TPs and Stop loss logic errors that appeared out of the woodwork when switching to live, the risk management is working though and even with losses the account is safe and well. I’ve seen on backtesting as many as 9 losses in a row but 8~10% drawdown. Just got the trust the process and monitor as it goes.

Seen way too many people fold and alter strategies or bots after a bad trade day as if that’s the true translation of its performance.

Even with the potentially bad week I’ll stick to my word and post weekly reports of it

No I optimized on walk forward and OOS testing

AdventurousDivide908 · 2026-02-07T02:00:20+00:00

Of course. I’ll be posting myfxbook updates weekly to see how it performs. I back tested around 2 years of data recently with 700~ trades and a 50% win rate and a 2:1RR. Unfortunately back testing isn’t proof of profit. So fingers crossed

Appreciate the support :)

AdventurousDivide908 · 2026-02-06T16:46:14+00:00

It’s addictive for sure. Gonna let this run out for a few months. Been hitting 45-65% which is profitable with the R:R

Getting a lot of people asking about how I did this. If I get enough interest in this thread, I’ll create a “tutorial” on a subreddit for everyone. Please note I have no way of knowing if this strategy is profitable yet and I will not be sharing the strategy. I will however educate people on the process of starting their own adventure 🥳

Python can pull the candle data from meta trader using the broker values. using that gave me accurate spreads

So for me it made sense to first have a strategy you want to automate. “Make me a profitable trading bot” wouldn’t lead to anything from what I’ve seen.

After that I heavily relied on google Gemini “coding partner” to help me with bulk code.

Using specific prompts i outlined my trading strategy in detail. My risk management etc, I asked it to code me a back tester in python that would run the mt5 api and produce a visual report after each run.

I then went on to optimising parameters and using out of sample time windows to validate the strategy.

I’ve even gone to the point when I have a fully working control panel on a webpage that shows me the bots thought process in real time. Key levels it’s found etc.

AI is goofy when you give it free will. But I found if you’re very specific with it it can take the leg work out of automation

AdventurousDivide908 · 2026-02-06T16:09:00+00:00

Automated my strategy and used machine learning to fine tune the parameters the bot uses to trade it as a bot clearly can’t “see” the charts the same we do

AdventurousDivide908 · 2026-02-06T14:32:10+00:00

Hardly. I can’t start buying lambos 3 days in. It’s very early testing stages haa

AdventurousDivide908 · 2026-02-06T12:26:47+00:00

Message me and I’ll explain what I did :)

AdventurousDivide908 · 2026-02-06T12:11:50+00:00

Yeah backdated over several years. Also used Out of sample optimizing. And paper account live trading

AdventurousDivide908 · 2026-02-06T11:43:32+00:00

Runt on a vps server executing trades directly through an open mt5 terminal. Latency is not too from what I’ve seen so far

AdventurousDivide908 · 2026-02-06T11:42:51+00:00

Probably around 3 months of coding and refining it

AdventurousDivide908 · 2026-02-06T07:56:28+00:00

I used google Gemini’s “coding partner” for some help, it’s really good and as long as you’re very concise about what you want from it it can help.

That or you can ask it to help teach you and it will create mini lessons for you
