The Problem
Manual order execution across global sessions (London open, New York crossover, Asian session) introduces fatigue, delayed entries, hesitation during high volatility, and human deviation from risk management rules.
The Solution
Developed a fully autonomous Python daemon communicating directly with the MetaTrader 5 terminal. The bot continuously calculates lot sizes based on exact dollar risk, executes orders in under 45ms, and logs all events to Telegram.
Dynamic Position Sizing Algorithm
# MetaTrader 5 Dynamic Lot Sizing & Order Placement Engine

symbol_info = mt5.symbol_info(symbol)
point = symbol_info.point
pip_value = symbol_info.trade_tick_value
# Calculate exact lot size to risk exactly risk_usd
raw_lot = risk_usd / (stop_loss_pips * (10 if symbol_info.digits in (3, 5) else 1) * pip_value)
lot_step = symbol_info.volume_step
lot_size = max(symbol_info.volume_min, min(round(raw_lot / lot_step) * lot_step, symbol_info.volume_max))
price = mt5.symbol_info_tick(symbol).ask if action == "BUY" else mt5.symbol_info_tick(symbol).bid
sl_price = price - (stop_loss_pips * point * 10) if action == "BUY" else price + (stop_loss_pips * point * 10)
