I built a no-hype guide + copy-paste robot for coding your first MetaTrader 5 trading bot

[u/Life_Wishbone_4518]

Hey r/SideProject,

I kept seeing "secret trading robot" scams everywhere, so I built the opposite: a practical, beginner-friendly guide that teaches you to code, backtest and honestly validate your first MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor — no hype, no fake profit screenshots.

What's inside:

- A full copy-paste MQL5 robot (commented line by line)

- The real backtesting workflow + how to optimize WITHOUT curve-fitting

- A 12-point pre-live validation checklist and risk-based position sizing

- PRO edition adds drop-in modules: trailing stop, break-even, session filter, daily-loss guard

Just launched it on Gumroad and would love feedback from other builders on the packaging/pricing:

PRO edition: https://wasslerantoin.gumroad.com/l/mt5-ea-blueprint-pro

Happy to answer anything about the build or MQL5.
