MQL5 Code Helper for MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors-AI-Powered Code Generation for MT5

Example

When developing an Expert Advisor, typing the keyword 'Order' would trigger MQL5 Code Helper to suggest possible functions like 'OrderSend', 'OrderModify', 'OrderClose', and related parameters. Additionally, MQL5 Code Helper can complete function names or parameter lists automatically, saving time and reducing errors.

Scenario

A trader is writing an EA that opens buy orders with specific conditions based on moving averages. The trader begins typing 'Order' and MQL5 Code Helper instantly displays suggestions like 'OrderSend' and 'OrderModify', helping the trader complete the function call without memorizing the syntax.

Example

If a trader's code has an incorrect function call or mismatched parentheses, MQL5 Code Helper highlights the issue in real-time and provides suggestions on how to fix it. For example, a missing semicolon at the end of a line is flagged, and a message explaining the issue is displayed.

Scenario

A trader is developing an EA with a trailing stop feature. After compiling the code, the MQL5 Code Helper identifies an error in the logic where the trailing stop distance is set incorrectly. It flags the line of code with a red underlining and suggests the correct syntax, helping the trader quickly resolve the issue before running the EA on a live account.

Example

MQL5 Code Helper allows users to quickly insert common code snippets such as trade execution logic, risk management formulas, or data handling structures (e.g., arrays, loops). The trader can use predefined templates to streamline development.

Scenario

A trader is writing an EA that requires trade filtering based on certain risk conditions. Instead of manually coding each filter condition from scratch, the trader accesses a predefined risk management template within MQL5 Code Helper, which inserts the proper structure for risk checks like position sizing and risk-to-reward ratio calculations.

Example

Based on the trader's coding habits and the MT5 platform's performance data, MQL5 Code Helper can suggest optimization strategies such as reducing unnecessary loops or minimizing resource consumption in the code (e.g., using built-in functions like 'iMA' for moving averages instead of custom-coded versions).

Scenario

A developer is working on an EA that executes trades based on multiple moving averages. MQL5 Code Helper analyzes the logic and suggests optimizing the code by switching from multiple custom moving average calculations to the built-in 'iMA' function, thus improving performance and reducing CPU usage during backtests.

Example

Whenever a developer needs clarification on a particular function or feature of MQL5, the tool provides inline documentation, contextual examples, and links to the official MQL5 reference guide. This eliminates the need to leave the editor to look up information online.

Scenario

A developer is unsure of how to use the 'TimeToStruct' function to convert time into a readable structure format. By highlighting the function name and using MQL5 Code Helper’s contextual help feature, the developer immediately sees the correct syntax, description, and an example of how to implement it.
