Aetram Trades: AI Assistant in MetaTrader 5 Is Changing the Approach to Algorithmic Trading

From landline calls and visits to a broker’s office to automated trading and creating Expert Advisors with AI, the financial industry has come a long way. At Forex Expo Dubai 2026, Sandesh Nandode, Head of Category 5 at Aetram Trades, shared his views on the industry's key changes and what lies ahead.

In his view, automation has significantly changed how brokers work over the past few years. Tasks that once used to be done manually, including client onboarding and communication, are increasingly automated. This helps brokers serve traders faster and grow their businesses more efficiently.

Sandesh says that, beyond flawless deposits and withdrawals, traders expect seamless trade execution, low latency, competitive spreads and tools to automate their trading. Algorithmic trading, once seen as something meant mainly for institutions, is becoming increasingly accessible to individual traders.

Sandesh was particularly interested in AI Assistant in MetaTrader 5. It lets users type their trading logic in natural language and use AI to turn it into MQL5 programs, including Expert Advisors. This makes algorithmic trading much more accessible to users without any knowledge of coding. Sandesh believes tools like these could significantly change the way traders create and automate their trading strategies.
