No prior coding experience required. No fake 95% win-rate promises. No black-box mystery.

Just a clear, step-by-step path that takes you from:

• Installing MT5 and MetaEditor
• Learning MQL5 basics (variables, conditions, loops, functions, arrays — zero jargon)
• Building your very first Expert Advisor (a clean 10/21 MA crossover with real risk rules)
• Adding professional features (dynamic lot sizing, trailing stops, spread & time filters, alerts)
• Testing honestly (backtest, forward, real ticks — how to avoid overfitting)
• Deploying safely on VPS with full monitoring checklist

By the end of the book you will have:

• A complete, commented, ready-to-run EA you can copy-paste, compile and use immediately (the final bonus code)
• The ability to modify, improve and debug it yourself — no more depending on shady sellers
• A solid understanding of why most EAs fail (emotions, overfitting, poor risk, bad timing)
• A realistic checklist to go live without blowing up (demo → micro lots → monitoring)

This is not a get-rich-quick book. Trading involves real risk of loss — sometimes total loss. I say it repeatedly: past performance is not indicative of future results.
