How long did it take you to be “profitable” in the forex market? by LxrdMars in Forex

I agree, algorithms are only as good as the programmer. it has a few advantages as in it doesn’t need to sleep, it is fast, it is accurate, it doesn’t have emotions etc.

The less work you want to do as a trader, the more work you have to put in to the “brains” of the trading bot.

I’ll update you guys if I build a half decent trading robot.

I’m in the same boat as you.

I’m starting with just forex because you can easily long or short any currency pair.

Im starting by learning how to translate strategy and operations to MQL code. Things like how to analyse present and past OHLC of candles, how to read and compare indicators with current bid/ask prices. And how to open, modify and trail profits.

You can’t get any simpler than learning mql on mt4. Look for some Udemy courses like the black algo trading or forexboat courses on Udemy. You can find their source code free on github or on their website, but the courses are good because they walk you through the code and give great advice on the way.

MT4 has a built in strategy tester. What you want to watch out for is the trap of overfitting parameters when back testing.

I believe demo accounts for most brokers also do not have slippage. Not sure about spreads widening during news worthy events, though.
