Hey Xard777,
you said you used an AI coding the MT5 version of your system. I find this quite interesting. Can you please tell me what AI you have used to code in MQL5? And have you tried out different AI´s? Haven´t expected, that AI is at the stage one could code an Expert Advisor with propper promt engineering.
Thanks in advance!

XARD: I use both
Grok 3.0 and
Deepseek R1 to create MQL5 indicators, scripts and experts. You can create from scratch or use an existing mq5 or even mq4 code and convert it to mq5 and build on it. When I create a prompt I add squealers to the code, simple print statements that will alert me to what's happening when the code is running. These squealers are activated within the input menu and set to false as default. The more you use the AI the better your prompt becomes and you include your own styling for headers, squealers etc.
Here is an example of one of my earlier prompts for your perusal.
Thank you very much, will have a look at it! Right now, i am experimenting with Claude (with Max Plan). I am very new to this, but i am learning very fast to do the right prompt engineering.
From my experience so far, Claude learned very fast and after several attempts, we are now heading to a very professional system. I mean the code looks clean, but in some classes i do get many errors while compiling, so there is work to do.
Will definitly try out Grok 3.0 and Deepseek R1 !
Sorry to ask, but i guess you are not using MT5 IDE, right? Is it VS Code? I am not a professional coder myself, more an engineer, and i am trying to get the right setup. Right now, i am coding on the web frontend of Claude AI and then copy the code into MT5 IDE. A few days ago i begun to setup my own Gitlab on my home server as a code repository. VS Code has got much integrations and plugins, so i guess i will switch to that.
Happy to exchange! Please find attached a MQL5 class, which i had coded with Claude. Clean code structure so far, no errors.
