Random Expert Advisor for MT5

My experimental randomly trading expert advisor myRandom is now available for download to be used in the MetaTrader 5 platform. It’s the 4th EA that was converted by me from MT4 to MT5 and it’s slightly different from its initial version. The main difference came from the fact that the MT4 version sometimes used hedging — when there was a buy position and the next random number suggested a sell position, it would open second position instead of just closing the previous position. In MT5 version of myRandom, buy and sell orders compensate each other resulting in only one position open simultaneously with a variable size and direction. The stop-loss and take-profit-levels now are applied only to this single position. This difference could have been eliminated with some complex virtual order system, but the objective of this random EA is to demonstrate the trading with randomness and such complexity would be unneeded here. This is also the first of my MT5 EAs that uses the standard Trade.mqh library (bundled with MQL5 Editor). It makes the order sending/closing simpler and can be quite useful to all MQL5 developers. Some other differences of the new version:

* Better code structure.
* More helpful error messaging.
* Description for MT5 added.
* Proper use of data types.

You can get the code of MT5 version or read more info about the expert advisor.

  1. In forex trading along the market trend is really helpful. Also if traders are not having sufficient knowledge about the market then they must stick to the market trend. Updates on forex are shared by epic research as well.

  2. Forex trading is open 24 hours a day and therefore you need to ensure that the forex broker that you choose operates at all times of the day.
