    Before you begin

    Getting Started With Trading Automation, basic MT5 navigation and risk awareness.

    Learn safely

    Use guided architecture and review exercises; this course does not build or authorize a live bot.

    Automation does not remove risk. Backtests and demo tests do not guarantee future performance.

    Educational content only—not personal financial advice or a promise of results. Read the risk warning.
