Course Description

Do you want to learn algorithmic trading and use Expert Advisors without programming skills?

This Algorithmic Trading Bootcamp is designed to teach you step by step how to trade Forex with Expert Advisors (trading robots). Whether you are a beginner or an experienced trader, this course provides everything you need to understand, build, and trade with automated strategies.

I am Petko Aleksandrov, professional trader and founder of Trading Academy. Over the years, I’ve created thousands of trading robots and taught thousands of students worldwide how to use algorithmic trading to eliminate emotions and improve results. In this course, I’ll guide you from the basics to advanced applications of Expert Advisors, giving you the confidence to trade automatically.

Why this course is unique

  • Learn algorithmic trading from scratch — no programming required

  • Receive 3 ready-to-use Expert Advisors (trading robots) included in the course

  • Learn how to place and manage EAs on MetaTrader 4/5

  • Understand how to generate and filter strategies using historical data

  • Discover how to optimize robots for your broker and improve results

  • Learn professional money management to protect your capital

  • See how to build a portfolio of Expert Advisors, not rely on just one

What you will learn in this Algorithmic Trading Bootcamp

  • How to choose a reliable, regulated broker and avoid scams

  • How to install and set up the MetaTrader platform

  • How to export historical data and use it to create strategies

  • How to generate, test, and filter strategies with EA Studio

  • How to place Expert Advisors on MetaTrader and track their performance

  • How to use magic numbers to follow individual EAs

  • How to analyze statistics with professional tracking tools

  • How to diversify your risk by trading multiple strategies simultaneously

  • How to optimize Expert Advisors to fit your broker’s conditions

Why algorithmic trading matters

Many traders rely on a single robot or strategy and get disappointed when it stops performing. Others fail because of emotions — fear and greed — which cause them to close trades too early or risk too much.

With algorithmic trading, you:

  • Remove emotions from trading decisions

  • Trade with predefined rules and automated strategies

  • Diversify with multiple robots running at the same time

  • Adapt to changing markets by replacing underperforming EAs

This is not about finding a “golden robot” but about building a sustainable Forex trading system with Expert Advisors.

Contents and overview

The course begins with the basics — preparing your trading environment, installing MetaTrader, and learning core trading concepts such as charts, indicators, leverage, and pips.

You’ll then move to practical applications:

  • Placing 3 ready Expert Advisors on your MetaTrader platform

  • Monitoring their performance with magic numbers and statistics

  • Understanding how to generate and filter your own strategies

  • Building a portfolio of trading robots to reduce risk and improve results

By the end of this course, you will have a clear understanding of algorithmic trading, hands-on experience with Expert Advisors, and the skills to build your own trading robots without programming.

Instructor Details

Petko Zhivkov Aleksandrov

My name is Petko Alexandrov, and I am a professional trader & investor.

Every year, I have over 10 000 new students joining my courses from around the world, which makes me very happy!

I have graduated from Trading in London. After that, I had many opportunities to work as an institutional trader and mentor.

I have worked for a couple of Brokers and trading companies, but there was always something missing for me because they were limiting me to create new strategies and systems for trading. Their purpose of working is different.

I started teaching, and I found out that this way, there were no limitations for me. I love to give all of my knowledge to the people that wish to learn. So I have created the first Trading Academy where you can learn algorithmic trading without IT Skills.

I can say that I deliver something different - the best strategies that I use, and I am not greedy to use them only by myself. I want more and more people to make profits from trading.

Nowadays, algorithmic trading is a must for every successful trader, and I use professional programs to develop and create all the strategies that I share in my courses. I have been testing and creating EAs for many years, and I will bring my best to you!

Poorly repesented, didnt deliver on the the title. To build an EA on the platform as shown requires a purchase at € 2980.00.

By Michael Moore on 4/19/2023

I enjoyed this course. While it is basic information I like reviewing the information occasionally and I wanted to get a feeling for Mr. Aleksandrovs teaching style. I have been trading Forex for a few years but am just starting to learn algo trading. I think this was a good basic course that was well done

By Thomas Chappell on 9/5/2021

I gave this due to it is good info, however, the main point of the class was to use expert advisors and there was so much back story covered in other areas of his many training courses. Perhaps a shorter course and references to his other course would be in order so the classes would not be stand alone, but connected. Too much review of of trading essentials that are covered in their other courses. Section four out of six sections is the first in real discussion on expert advisors. Anyhow, the course is a stand alone course and someone new to expert advisors will get a the back ground on trading and some good knowledge on EA.

By Navid Gol on 10/6/2020

The course was great, his explanation is good and clear, I had some other courses with him and I knew that he is a great instructor. But the only problem is that he never mentioned in the course overview that we have to use a strategy builder from the forex academy website which is a minimum of 1500 euro. This is a very expensive amount of money for me as a beginner trader, if I knew that I need to buy that package from the beginning I never bought the course because I knew that is not suitable for me at this moment.

By Breno Vida on 6/24/2019

Excellent course. Difference is the concept of Export Advisor Portfolio as it is possible to better manage laughter under this perspective. Very interesting . If one strategy becomes inconsistent you can re-apply the optimization practice or simply change strategy and strategy builder generates EA code without needing to know programming in MQL4 or MQL5.

By Sunil Thakur on 1/27/2019

Fantastic course! I have been manually trading forex since 2007 and sometimes it gets very tiring to just monitor the computers for several hours everyday. Petko Aleksandrov has shown in this course ways and tools to properly create Expert Advisers (EAs) for trading even when away from the computer. I am so glad I took this course.

By Juan Camilo Cañas on 1/21/2019

This is a course that is meant to be for beginners, and is a bit condensed but is pretty useful and you will save a lot of time getting ready as this quick. I really liked. I would like more deep and detail in the explanations but I really understand why is this. Trust me, you will save a lot of time

By Stephen Ndungu on 10/20/2018

When i first bought Automated Forex trading + 99 expert advisors per month to say the truth i understood nothing. Now combining that course with this particular one has made me knowledgeable in Forex trading. I think the two should be combined into one course instead. Without the second one you can never grasp the first.

By 3.1415 -R on 9/30/2018

Really enjoyed the course, great introduction for who wants to start algorithmic trading and learn how to do it in practice (setup the MT4 platform and connect it to your broker, develop expert advisers with EA Studio and test strategies). Of course, the licence for EA studio is to be acquired separately but you can try it with a trial account for free.

By Vu Nguyen Pham Quang on 9/17/2018

Thanks teacher, more exp for me after course. But we need more detail about how to optimize best EAs and keep them more more more stabler during market change day-to-day, and how we know our EAs can comeover strongest changes from news. Thank you so much teacher. VuNPQ
