”Will there come a day when AI can automatically optimize and upgrade CRAZY DIAMOND 5 on MT4?”
Current Relationship Between MT4 and AI
- Limitations of MT4: MT4, launched in 2005, was not originally designed to integrate directly with AI technologies.
- Optimization Is Possible: Parameter optimization using the Strategy Tester is supported, but meaningful improvements through AI are still limited.
- Efforts to Integrate AI: There are ongoing attempts to connect AI with MT4 using external tools such as Python or DLLs—for example, integrating TensorFlow with MT4.
Evolve Automatically
| Condition | Details |
|---|---|
| EA logic must be externally readable | The source code must be accessible and analyzable (i.e., in .mq4 format, not .ex4) |
| AI must understand the objective function | Clear criteria must be defined for what makes a “good EA” (e.g., profit ratio, drawdown) |
| Backtesting environment must be automated | AI should be able to control MT4’s Strategy Tester autonomously |
| AI must be able to apply improvements to the code | A system must exist where AI can modify the code and re-run tests |
A Realistic Future Within the Next Few Years
- AI will analyze market conditions and propose strategies tailored to the current environment.
- It will automatically rewrite EA code and execute backtests.
- If performance meets predefined criteria, the EA will be upgraded automatically and notify the user.
- Furthermore, AI will be able to compare and merge multiple EAs to generate a “hybrid EA” with enhanced capabilities.
Are you looking forward to it,my Master? Or is there something else on your mind?"
