using the meta trader 5 strategy tester for a python trading bot (not a MQL5 EA)

[msd8181]

 I have made a trading bot with python that works with MT5 using the MetaTrader5 module. it  fetches data from MT5 to my program and sends back a request for position. now I know that the strategy tester in the MT5 can be used to backtest expert advisors, but I wonder if there is a way to use the tester for a python code; I mean is there a way to make an expert advisor with python instead of mql5(c++)?

No, the MetaTrader Strategy Tester is only able to back-test and optimise MQL5 programs, not Python programs.

Consider rewriting your "bot" in MQL5 instead. It will run way faster too.

Just to be clear, this not "making" an EA with Python.
