I've always worked with the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform. Even Binance's interface is excellent for fast trading, as an algorithm developer, I need more capabilities.
Here are the details:
1. The Power of MQL5 🤖
Unlike traditional charts, MT5 allows me to build custom indicator algorithms. I don't just look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or the MACD indicator; I program my own logic that filters out false shadows and tracks whale trading volume in real time.
2. Multi-Threaded Strategy Testing 📊
Before risking a single dollar on a Bitcoin trade, I test my strategy on ten years of historical data. MT5's strategy tester is incredibly fast, allowing me to simulate a large number of trades in minutes to ensure my strategy's effectiveness.
3. Binance Bridge 🌉
Since Binance doesn't directly support the MT5 platform, I use an API gateway.
My MT5 software generates the signal. The Python/Bridge program reads this signal. The trade is executed instantly on my Binance account via API. The result: MT5 accuracy with Binance liquidity.
Conclusion:
Trading isn't just about clicking buttons; it's about building a system. My setup is designed to eliminate emotion and rely entirely on data.
