How to Build Your First Trading Bot on Phillip MT5 — No Coding Required

09 Apr 2026

7:00 pm

Following our introductory session on algorithmic trading, where we explored how trading bots work and why more traders are turning to automation, this next session takes the next step — building your first trading bot.

Algorithmic trading is gaining traction as traders look to improve efficiency, consistency, and execution discipline. But how do you go from a trading idea to building your first trading bot — especially without coding experience?

In this session, participants will learn how to build a rule-based trading strategy and implement it as a trading bot on Phillip MetaTrader 5 (MT5). The webinar will walk through how trading ideas can be structured into clear, systematic logic, and how AI tools can assist in generating coded strategies more efficiently.

Beyond simply producing code, the session will highlight the key elements that matter when building a robust algo-trading strategy — including logic, structure, and practical considerations. An example strategy will also be explored to demonstrate how these concepts come together on the MT5 platform.

By the end of the session, attendees will gain a clearer and more practical understanding of how to start building and deploying their own trading bot on Phillip MT5.

If you attended our previous session, this webinar builds on those foundations and brings you one step closer to implementing your own automated strategy.
