Trading Futures

 

Hello all, 

I am new to the MT5 platform & my background is in trading E-Mini S&P500 futures. Of course, I am interested in algorithmic trading but I have not been able to find any source code for this particular instrument. I would appreciate any guidance or assistance in finding some expert advisors, quotes or scripts to be able to apply the code. Thank you! 

 

Hi and welcome here :)

But recommendations and discussions about broker, EAs (tradingbots ...) aren't allowed here as this is a technical forum. Everybody has to do his/her own search.

Beside that the quotes of the symbols or traded instruments are provided by the broker, so you have to search for a broker that provides what you want to trade.

    There is almost nothing that has not already been programmed for MT4/5!
