This is one of the most useful channels I’ve found on Algo trading. I have been twisting myself in knots trying to force these platform-specific languages such as MQL, Pinescript, and Easy Language to do things in a clean efficient way. It is really good to know that I can just use Python and take advantage of all its libraries. Thank You.

[marcovalentinoalvarado]

Absolutely great, thank you so much for this, would be amazing about having a guide on how to start a little trading bot, and then going in depth!

You earned my subscription. Good work. This was very useful when I was trying to get the MetaTrader5 server to talk with Python.

[carribeproductions]

Precisely and efficiently explained, just what I was looking for. Gratitude good brother!

[elifkaragoz]

I am trying to write a meta trader bot with my bf and I can say that your videos are very helpful to me :))) I was looking for that kind of video. Thanks for your exertion :))

[tradetech]

Hi, I'm a new sub!
Thanks for this info. I've done py scripts in the past but was very hung up on cpp.
I'm just getting into trading as well as bot trading. Your tutorial is greatly organized
and nicely explained. It helps seeing visuals between the code and the output in terminal.

[ElksuGuitar]

Really appreciate the your videos. They're simple and easy to follow. Hats off!

[osvaldo.munozm]

we really need a update from this video! thank you for sharing it :D

[watchmyzone]

Amazing video, You showed how to get account info, symbol info, tick info etc.. But is there a way to get built in indicator values? Or do we have to construct our own indicators ?

[ZayedDabaja]

Thank you for this video, very informative and exactly what I was looking for.

[victoralberti]

Amazing content, thank you so much for this hands-on code video.

[todortodorov]

Hi! Absolutely clearly explained. Thanks for that!
I have a small question: can we make our python app to run when the price updates on the MT5 Client. I mean if we can bind some method execution on something like a price update event?!

[namiland_movie]

I need a way to collect data from mt5 over the web, how do I go about it?

[lexc.]

This is amazing man. I also started creating algorithms. Also, I recently saw you that you are in some FTMO video.

[Sqedabantwana]

This is good..currently developing a journaling app for mt5. Looking at the documentation right now

[GridMatix]

Thank you for this playlist, very clear explanation <3

[ViniciusParriaovip]

Congratulations for the content, it's the best on youtube.
Is it possible to login and execute orders on multiple accounts having only one terminal on the machine?

[saltyxd]

I will be in debt to you for the rest of my life and when I get rich I will make a big donation to you brother❤ thank

[GanggangX]

I REALLY ENJOYED THE VIDEO BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW CAN I COMMAND THE PYTHON TRADING BOT TO PUT AUTOMATICALLY A 4 pips stop loss with it opens a sell or buy position
you are blessed❤

[surayasecurities]

Hey, just wanted to know is this for demo accounts only or live mt5 accounts?
