# MQL4/MQL5 Wizard

MQL4/MQL5 Wizard allows you to quickly create program templates and ready-made trading robots.

With the MQL4/MQL5 Wizard, a trader can develop Expert Advisors even without programming skills. All that is needed to do is to select trading signals for an Expert Advisor, money management and trailing stop algorithms. The Expert Advisor code will be generated automatically based on selected parameters.

In addition, the MQL4/MQL5 Wizard allows to create MQL4/MQL5 programs templates simplifying the work of a programmer. A template is a file designed for writing a source code. After it has been created, it is automatically placed in an appropriate directory, depending on the selected program type. During the creation, a user can select event handlers that will be added to the template. This reduces time spent on routine tasks when creating programs.

The Wizard also allows you to create [projects](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/metaeditor/help/mql5storage/projects) – apart from a source code file (a template or a ready-made EA), an MQPROJ project set file is generated as well.
