As an asynchronous MetaTrader5 Libray

import asyncio

from aiomql import MetaTrader


async def main():
    mt5 = MetaTrader()
    res = await mt5.initialize(login=31288540, password='nwa0#anaEze', server='Deriv-Demo')
    if not res:
        print('Unable to login and initialize')
        return 
    # get account information
    acc = await mt5.account_info()
    print(acc)
    # get symbols
    symbols = await mt5.symbols_get()
    print(symbols)
    
asyncio.run(main())

As a Bot Building FrameWork using a Sample Strategy

Aiomql allows you to focus on building trading strategies and not worry about the underlying infrastructure. It provides a simple and easy to use framework for building bots with rich features and functionalities.

from datetime import time
import logging

from aiomql import Bot, ForexSymbol, FingerTrap, Session, Sessions, RAM, SimpleTrader, TimeFrame, Chaos

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)


def build_bot():
    bot = Bot()
    # configure the parameters and the trader for a strategy
    params = {'fast_period': 8, 'slow_period': 34, 'etf': TimeFrame.M5}
    symbols = ['GBPUSD', 'AUDUSD', 'USDCAD', 'EURGBP', 'EURUSD']
    symbols = [ForexSymbol(name=sym) for sym in symbols]
    strategies = [FingerTrap(symbol=sym, params=params)for sym in symbols]
    bot.add_strategies(strategies)
    
    # create a strategy that uses sessions
    # sessions are used to specify the trading hours for a particular market
    # the strategy will only trade during the specified sessions
    london = Session(name='London', start=time(8, 0), end=time(16, 0))
    new_york = Session(name='New York', start=time(13, 0), end=time(21, 0))
    tokyo = Session(name='Tokyo', start=time(0, 0), end=time(8, 0))
    
    sessions = Sessions(sessions=[london, new_york, tokyo])  
    jpy_strategy = Chaos(symbol=ForexSymbol(name='USDJPY'), sessions=sessions)
    bot.add_strategy(strategy=jpy_strategy)
    bot.execute()

# run the bot
build_bot()

Backtesting

Aiomql provides a very accurate backtesting engine that allows you to test your trading strategies before deploying them in the market. The backtest engine prioritizes accuracy over speed, but allows you to increase the speed as desired. It is very easy to use and provides a lot of flexibility. The backtester is designed to run strategies seamlessly without need for modification of the strategy code. When running in backtest mode all the classes that needs to know if they are running in backtest mode will be able to do so and adjust their behavior accordingly.

from aiomql import MetaBackTester, BackTestEngine, MetaTrader
import logging
from datetime import datetime, UTC

from aiomql.lib.backtester import BackTester
from aiomql.core import Config
from aiomql.contrib.strategies import FingerTrap
from aiomql.contrib.symbols import ForexSymbol
from aiomql.core.backtesting import BackTestEngine


def back_tester():
    config = Config(mode="backtest")
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format="%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s")
    syms = ["Volatility 75 Index", "Volatility 100 Index", "Volatility 25 Index", "Volatility 10 Index"]
    symbols = [ForexSymbol(name=sym) for sym in syms]
    strategies = [FingerTrap(symbol=symbol) for symbol in symbols]
    
    # create start time and end time for the backtest
    start = datetime(2024, 5, 1, tzinfo=UTC)
    stop_time = datetime(2024, 5, 2, tzinfo=UTC)
    end = datetime(2024, 5, 7, tzinfo=UTC)
    
    # create a backtest engine
    back_test_engine = BackTestEngine(start=start, end=end, speed=3600, stop_time=stop_time,
                                      close_open_positions_on_exit=True, assign_to_config=True, preload=True,
                                      account_info={"balance": 350})
    # add it to the backtester
    backtester = BackTester(backtest_engine=back_test_engine)
    # add strategies to the backtester
    backtester.add_strategies(strategies=strategies)
    backtester.execute()

Writing a Custom Strategy

Aiomql provides a simple and easy to use framework for building trading strategies. You can easily extend the framework to build your own custom strategies. Below is an example of a simple strategy that buys when the fast moving average crosses above the slow moving average and sells when the fast moving average crosses below the slow moving average.

# emaxover.py
from aiomql import Strategy, ForexSymbol, TimeFrame, Tracker, OrderType, Sessions, Trader, ScalpTrader


class EMAXOver(Strategy):
    ttf: TimeFrame  # time frame for the strategy
    tcc: int  # how many candles to consider
    fast_ema: int  # fast moving average period
    slow_ema: int  # slow moving average period
    tracker: Tracker  # tracker to keep track of strategy state
    interval: TimeFrame  # intervals to check for entry and exit signals
    timeout: int  # timeout after placing an order in seconds

    # default parameters for the strategy
    # they are set as attributes. You can override them in the constructor via the params argument.
    parameters = {'ttf': TimeFrame.H1, 'tcc': 3000, 'fast_ema': 34, 'slow_ema': 55, 'interval': TimeFrame.M15,
                  'timeout': 3 * 60 * 60}

    def __init__(self, *, symbol: ForexSymbol, params: dict | None = None, trader: Trader = None,
                 sessions: Sessions = None, name: str = "EMAXOver"):
        super().__init__(symbol=symbol, params=params, sessions=sessions, name=name)
        self.tracker = Tracker(snooze=self.interval.seconds)
        self.trader = trader or ScalpTrader(symbol=self.symbol)

    async def find_entry(self):
        # get the candles
        candles = await self.symbol.copy_rates_from_pos(timeframe=self.ttf, start_position=0, count=self.tcc)

        # get the fast moving average
        candles.ta.ema(length=self.fast_ema, append=True)
        # get the slow moving average
        candles.ta.ema(length=self.slow_ema, append=True)
        # rename the columns
        candles.rename(**{f"EMA_{self.fast_ema}": "fast_ema", f"EMA_{self.slow_ema}": "slow_ema"}, inplace=True)

        # check for crossovers
        # fast above slow
        fas = candles.ta_lib.cross(candles.fast_ema, candles.slow_ema, above=True)
        # fast below slow
        fbs = candles.ta_lib.cross(candles.fast_ema, candles.slow_ema, above=False)

        ## check for entry signals in the current candle
        if fas.iloc[-1]:
            self.tracker.update(order_type=OrderType.BUY, snooze=self.timeout)
        elif fbs.iloc[-1]:
            self.tracker.update(order_type=OrderType.SELL, snooze=self.timeout)
        else:
            self.tracker.update(order_type=None, snooze=self.interval.seconds)

    async def trade(self):
        await self.find_entry()
        if self.tracker.order_type is None:
            await self.sleep(secs=self.tracker.snooze)
        else:
            await self.trader.place_trade(order_type=self.tracker.order_type, parameters=self.parameters)
            await self.delay(secs=self.tracker.snooze)
