Algorithmic Trading System — Python-MT5 Hybrid

A complete algorithmic trading system combining Python strategy engine with MetaTrader 5 execution capabilities, featuring automated signal generation, risk management, position sizing, trade execution, trade logging, and performance analytics.

Algorithmic Trading System — Python-MT5 Hybrid preview

Project Overview

This hybrid trading system leverages the strengths of both Python and MQL5: Python for strategy research, data analysis, and backtesting; MQL5 for ultra-low latency trade execution on the MetaTrader 5 platform. The system includes a Python-based strategy engine that generates trading signals, which are then executed via MT5 with sophisticated risk management and position sizing.

The architecture features loose coupling between the strategy layer (Python) and execution layer (MT5), allowing for independent development, testing, and deployment of each component. Communication between layers occurs via a robust message queue with built-in failover mechanisms.

All trades are logged comprehensively for post-trade analysis, and the system includes real-time performance analytics dashboards that display key metrics such as win rate, profit factor, Sharpe ratio, and drawdown.
