Importing signals to Metatrader 5

New comment
 
Hi, everybody,

Could you help me, please.

I have a list of signals for buy and sell in the format:

1.time      0

2.time      1

3.time      1

4.time      0

 .csv file, but can be any format.

How do I upload these signals to Metatrader 5 for backtesting? Do I need to start learning mql5 or is there an easier option?

Thank you in advance for the answer.

You will need to learn MQL5, not MySQL. You will need to code an Expert Advisor (EA), to be run in the Strategy Tester, that will read in the CSV file data and execute trades in accordance with that data.
