I have been trading for many years and now automation beckons to a newbie programmer. The other threads seem to pitch for MT4. Is anyone interested in helping along people interested in MT5 ? The 4 version may still be with us for sometime but for a starter the new MQL5 seems to be the future.
I have tried lots of free EAs but none are really profitable. So I put some " to be paid for " ones into the strategy tester. The results for one were impressive, so I bought it for 550 credits. It's results on a real money account were awful and I lost 40% of my wedge after a few hours.
Can I ever get to programme up some profitable ideas ? Not without help I think. So hope to get some responses
