This video looks at the benefits of using a multi-symbol EA (expert advisor) in MetaTrader MT4 and MT5 and how it could improve your trading results. It shows the MQL5 code to achieve this, and also explains the effect that trading multiple symbols can have on your account's equity curve, by smoothing out drawdowns.

This episode considers the importance of custom performance metrics in MetaTrader MT4 and MT5. It then goes on to show how to implement this in OnTester() in the MQL programming language. It also shows how a number of common issues in the measurement of success of your parameters in the optimization, can be resolved.

This tutorial explains to algorithmic traders, the importance of, and how to control bar opening in your Expert Advisors when using the ‘Open Prices’ and ‘1 minute OHLC’ data models in the MetaTrader Strategy Tester. It also starts to uncover when you need to use tick data and when M1 data is sufficient.

Why measuring trading system parameter performance in optimizations using ‘Return/Mean (Average) Drawdown’ is better than the ‘Maximum Drawdown’ equivalent. This can assist with providing a more reliable selection of robust parameters for your algorithmic trading strategy.

How to measure algorithmic trading system parameter performance in optimizations using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) and the Coefficient of Determination (R-Squared). This video explains how to apply these two statistical techniques to the trading system's equity curve to provide an indication of the smoothness and quality of the equity growth, and also determine how well the system manages equity drawdowns.

The addition of Custom Symbols is a great enhancement to MetaTrader 5 (MT5). However, many traders underestimate the great power these have. This episode explains how to use these to improve your trading decision making. Ideal for both discretionary and algorithmic traders alike.

It's good practice to check a sample of trades from your trading strategy's backtest to ensure that commission, swap, and spread are identical to what you will receive in your broker's live account. Don't do this and your backtest results will be misleading. This episode concentrates specifically on setting up commission when using custom symbols.
