AI-augmented MT5 scalping bot.

Manually trading scalps during off-hours meant missing the windows that mattered most. The goal was to keep the operator in the loop — every trade decision logged with its AI reasoning and indicator state — while letting the bot act on windows the operator wasn't watching.

Our team built a Windows-friendly bot that connects to MT5 via the official Python API, streams candles, computes indicators, asks the configured LLM for a directional view, and routes a trade request back into MT5 with hard risk gates in front of every order placement.

Risk controls are not advisory — they're enforceable limits checked at order entry. Configurable daily-loss caps halt new orders for the rest of the session. Drawdown protection halts trading once a configurable percentage of starting equity is reached. Position sizing is a pure function of account equity, indicator confidence, and LLM-side confidence — no over-ride path that would let the AI argue itself into a 5% position when the rule says 1%.

The bot falls back to indicator-only mode if no LLM API key is configured: trades still run on RSI/MACD/Bollinger/ATR confluence, but without the reasoning layer the dashboard shows "indicators only" for that session. Operators get a live dashboard (engine status, today's trade statistics, real-time market analysis per symbol, open positions with live P&L, recent AI decisions with reasoning, full trade history) so they can pull the kill switch or change risk params in seconds.
