AI Trading Connection Expert — Connect MT5 to ChatGPT & Claude
AI Trading Connection Expert is an analytical Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that connects the platform to large language models (ChatGPT, Claude) to provide real-time market analysis, level detection and textual insights — it is an analysis tool, not an autotrader.
1. Features (AI Trading Connection Expert)
Below are the main capabilities you should expect from the AI Trading Connection Expert (as implemented in the recent community build):
- MT5 ↔ AI integration via WebRequest — connects MetaTrader 5 to AI providers (ChatGPT / Claude) using WebRequest; prompts/responses are exchanged over HTTP.
- Multi-timeframe market analysis — the EA can ask the model to analyze multiple timeframes and return a consolidated view (e.g., H1 trend + M15 intraday bias).
- Detects support & resistance levels — AI-based level detection: the EA can ask the model to identify key price levels and return them as readable output on the chart.
- News & sentiment interpretation — the EA can process economic news input/payloads and ask the model to summarize sentiment or likely market impact.
- Prompt-driven, user-defined commands — traders can type or select custom prompts (for example “analyze EURUSD daily structure”) and get a textual, structured response in MT5.
- Structured text output inside MT5 — responses are shown in a readable format within the EA panel on the chart for easy reference.
- Analytical-only mode — crucially, the tool is designed primarily for analysis and not for automated order placement (you remain the decision maker).

2. Install & API Setup — Quick Steps
- Download the EA package and upload any supplied files to your Downloads area on MT5Toolbox.
- Place the EA file (.mq5 / .ex5) into
MQL5/Experts
. If helper libraries or indicators are included, add them toMQL5/Include
orMQL5/Indicators
. - Restart MetaTrader 5, attach the EA to a chart and enable WebRequest for the API URLs you plan to use (Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → Allow WebRequest for listed URLs).
- Generate API tokens from your AI provider (OpenAI / Anthropic) and paste them into the EA’s Inputs panel (API key fields).
- Enable “Allow DLL imports” / “Allow WebRequest” as needed and test a sample prompt to verify connectivity and output formatting.
3. Key Inputs & Usage
- Select AI Assistant: choose ChatGPT (OpenAI) or Claude (Anthropic) depending on preference and pricing.
- API Key: paste the API token in the EA input field (keep tokens private — do not publish them).
- Model selection: pick a model (e.g., GPT-4, gpt-4o or a Claude variant) — heavier models cost more per request.
- Prompt templates: prebuilt templates are typically provided (market-structure, news-summarize, level-detect). Customize them to match the exact output structure you want.
- Request frequency & rate limits: mind API rate limits and cost — configure throttling or local caching to avoid excessive calls.
4. Recommended Use Cases
- Decision support: use the EA to get a second opinion on market structure, support/resistance, and news impact before placing manual trades.
- Automated chart summaries: create daily/weekly summaries of key pairs or watchlist items for faster analysis.
- Prompt-driven scans: run multi-pair prompts (via script) to receive prioritized idea lists — then validate ideas manually.
- Educational tool: learn to interpret chart patterns and S/R reasoning from the AI responses — useful for newer traders who want guided explanations.
5. Testing & Safety Protocol
- Start on demo before connecting real API keys to live trading accounts to confirm reliability and expected output format.
- Track API request counts and cost in a log — a single model call per symbol can add up quickly across a watchlist.
- Limit auto-execution: keep the tool in analytical mode (no auto orders) unless you have strict validation and protective checks.
- Implement request throttling — set a minimum interval between prompts to avoid hitting rate limits or incurring surprise bills.
6. Related Resources
The AI Trading Connection Expert is most valuable when combined with reliable indicator tooling and a clean workflow. Below are practical combinations from MT5Toolbox that improve the signal-to-noise ratio of AI outputs:
Market scanning & trend filters: Use the t3_velocity indicator or the Indicators Library to identify pairs with strong trending momentum before asking the AI for analysis — this focuses AI queries on higher-probability setups.
Key levels & structural context: Cross-check AI-detected support/resistance with the Key Levels indicator so that AI annotations align with measurable structural zones on your charts.
Volatility adapters & execution checks: Pair AI outputs with ATR-based volatility indicators from the Indicators Library to size buffers and avoid over-trading when market conditions are noisy.
Together, these resources create a hybrid workflow: AI for fast analysis and human + indicator confirmation for robust trade decisions.
