MetaQuotes has released MetaTrader 5 Platform Build 6180, significantly expanding the AI Assistant’s functionality within its trading platform and Strategy Tester. The update enables the AI agent to perform direct actions on the platform, streamlining workflow for traders and developers working with Expert Advisors and algorithmic trading strategies.
- AI Assistant New Features: Retrieving Strategy Tester reports, launching optimization, checking tester settings, analyzing tester logs, adding technical indicators to charts, and accessing terminal and Expert Advisor logs
- MQL5 Enhancements: Support for HasNan and ReplaceNan methods for complex matrices and vectors; Split, HSplit, VSplit, SwapRows, and SwapCols methods for complex matrices
- Web Terminal Improvements: Enhanced stop level settings for netting system accounts, fixed instrument data loading, and resolved quote display issues in Market Watch
- Bug Fixes: Corrected chart event handling during visual testing that previously caused runtime errors when pressing keys
The AI Assistant upgrades focus on automating repetitive analysis tasks. Traders can now request the assistant to evaluate Expert Advisor performance, compare optimization results across multiple passes, and identify strategy issues by analyzing tester logs independently. The ability to add technical indicators and configure their parameters directly through the AI interface reduces manual setup time. For developers using MQL5, the expanded matrix and vector operations support complex mathematical computations essential for algorithmic trading development.
The Web Terminal received targeted improvements addressing trading workflow friction points. The platform now automatically inserts current Stop Loss and Take Profit levels when executing trade operations on accounts using the netting system, preventing accidental removal of existing stop levels. The fixes to instrument data loading and Market Watch quote display address reliability concerns for traders monitoring multiple assets simultaneously.
MetaQuotes continues development of MetaTrader 5, the company’s flagship multi-asset trading platform used by brokers, traders, and institutional firms globally for forex, stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrency trading.
