UBot `Expert System`
A meta trader 4 trading bot
Table of Contents
# About The Project
### Project Scope
An automated trading system (ATS), a subset of algorithmic trading, uses a computer program to create buy and sell orders
and automatically submits the orders to a market center or exchange.The computer program will automatically generate orders
based on predefined set of rules using a trading strategy which is based on technical analysis, advanced statistical
and mathematical computations or input from other electronic sources.
* Should allow users to input parameter properties like stop loss and take profit etc.
* Expert system should be able to automatically open trades, manage, scale trades and manage trades.
* Trading bot must also be able to manage trades in terms of trailing profit, scaling position, maintaining long and short trading
## Project Design
### Architecture
Taking all above into consideration, the traditional architecture of the entire
automated trading system can now be broken down into:
`The exchange(s)` – the external world
`The server`
* Receives market data
* Stores the market data
* Store orders generated by the user
`Application`
* Takes inputs from the user initially for the decisions such as stop loss, limits, the preferred financial instrument for trading etc.
* Acts as an interface for viewing the information including the data and orders
* Acts as an order manager sending orders to the exchange
The `market data`, that is received, typically `informs` the automated trading system of the latest order book.
It may also contain some additional information like the `volume traded` so far, the last traded price,
and the quantity of the `trading order`. However, to make a `decision based on the data`, the automated system looks at
the old values or `derives certain patterns` from the history. Based on this historical analysis of data and patterns,
the system goes forward to create a `trading strategy` and execute the same.
Last but not least, a GUI interface is needed for the trader to view all this information on a screen.
### Built With
System was written in `Meta Quotes 4`, language that is supported by `Meta trader 4`:
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
You should have the below software installed in your pc :
* Meta Trader 3
* Meta Quotes 3
* and your preferred IDE or text editor
### Installation
1. Get a free API Key at [https://github.com/settings/tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens)
2. Clone the repo
```sh
git clone https://github.com/kudzaiprichard/ubot-mt4
```
3. Inside meta editor click on `file`, and choose `open data folder`
4. `Open mql4 folder`, and copy `Experts/ ubot` mql4 source file to `Experts folder`
5. Copy `Include/Ubot` folder to include folder
6. Copy `indicators/Ubot` folder to indicators folder
7. Close and `open meta editor` then open `ubot mql4 source file` and `run it`
> NB: An `ubot complied ex4` file program will be created
8. The same complied `ubot ex4 file` will appear in `meta trader 4`
> NB: Use that complied `ubot file` to run your bot on the market or test it in `mt4 strategy tester`
### Usage
1. Open meta trader 4
2. Drag and drop the bot in desired chart to run the bot
3. The following bot `interface` will show
4. Double tap on the `Inputs` tab
5. Enter desired `inputs settings` for your bot or import settings and press `ok` button
6. The bot will then run and will display the interface screen when running successfully
> NOTE: Bot should display that dashboard at the far right bottom corner
### Results
Below is the UML design of the system including relationships between the difference objects that make up the system
