Course Curriculum

A structured step-by-step learning path designed to take you from your first Expert Advisor template to building and improving fully functional MT5 trading systems.
Lesson 1
Creating Your First Expert Advisor
+
Create your first Expert Advisor from scratch inside MetaTrader 5. Learn how to build a clean EA template, understand the three core functions used in every Expert Advisor, and see how MetaTrader executes your code in real time.
Lesson 2
Variables
+
Learn how variables work and why they are essential in every Expert Advisor. Understand how to store numbers, text, and true/false values, work with different MQL5 data types, and see how data is stored and updated during program execution.
Lesson 3
Functions
+
Learn how to work with variables and calculations, then take the next step by creating your own custom functions. Understand return values, function parameters, code reusability, and how functions help keep Expert Advisors clean, efficient, and easy to maintain.
Lesson 4
Control Structures
+
Learn how to control the flow of your Expert Advisor using conditional statements and loops. Understand how to make decisions with if statements, repeat tasks with for and while loops, and build more advanced trading logic while avoiding common programming mistakes.
Lesson 5
Reading Indicator Data
+
Learn how to retrieve data from technical indicators inside MetaTrader 5. Create RSI indicator handles, work with arrays and buffers, use the CopyBuffer() function, and access real-time indicator values that can be used to generate automated trading signals.
Lesson 6
Opening Trades
+
Learn how to open trades automatically using MQL5. Create trading conditions from RSI signals, use the built-in CTrade class, execute buy and sell orders, retrieve trade ticket numbers, and prevent duplicate trades from being opened on every market tick.
Lesson 7
Modifying Trades
+
Learn how to manage and modify open positions inside MetaTrader 5. Retrieve position data, add stop losses and take profits, apply different management rules to buy and sell trades, reset trade variables after a position closes, and test your Expert Advisor using the built-in Strategy Tester.
Lesson 8
Closing Trades On Opposite Signal
+
Complete your first fully functional Expert Advisor by learning how to close trades on opposing signals. Manage trade tickets correctly, improve trade handling logic, understand basic error checking, and bring together everything learned throughout the course to create a complete automated RSI trading system.
Bonus Lesson 1
Bitcoin Previous Day Breakout EA
+
Build a complete Bitcoin Previous Day Breakout Expert Advisor from start to finish. Learn how to detect breakout opportunities, calculate risk-based position sizes, implement stop losses, take profits and trailing stops, automatically manage positions, and test a fully functional trading system inside MetaTrader 5.
Bonus Lesson 2
Expert Advisor Optimisation
+
Learn how to optimise an Expert Advisor using MetaTrader 5's built-in optimisation tools. Run thousands of automated backtests, analyse performance statistics, identify the best parameter combinations, and use data-driven testing to improve the profitability and robustness of your trading systems.
