Ai Trader MT5 — Hilfe

VibeFox AI Trader is an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that uses artificial intelligence to analyze charts and generate trading signals. Send a chart screenshot to the neural network — and receive a detailed analysis with trend lines, support/resistance levels, and trading signals directly on the chart.

HOW TO CHOOSE AN AI MODEL

The Expert Advisor will not work without an external model, so you need to choose the right model.
The model must be able to process images — VL.
It is highly recommended that the model has at least 8B parameters for analysis or from 30B for analysis and trading. The bigger — the smarter. The ideal option is paid models or models from 100B.
At the moment, it is not recommended to trade on a real account, because there are not yet enough capable AIs. It is recommended to use it for analysis and advice.

Local AI Models

Local models are free. We recommend working specifically with them.

How to choose a local model depending on hardware

If you have a very weak video card, it is possible to use only RAM, but the speed will be slow. Dense models larger than 8B are practically impossible to use. For large models, choose only MOE. The model must have at least q4 quantization, and the more, the better. Video cards with a large amount of memory will significantly speed up the work. A Dense model works well only when it fully fits into video memory along with the KV cache.

Qwen VL models show the best results — verbose analysis and order placement. Qwen3 VL 30B a3b is the best of the available models for a medium computer.

Examples of models compatible with LM Studio/Jan.ai:

<7B Not recommended. Very fast, but weak analysis. Almost unable to place orders.

8-14B Fast. For simple analysis. They place orders, but should not be trusted.

15-40B Recommended for 8 GB VRAM + 32 GB RAM. Good chart analysis and order placement.

40-110B At the moment, we have not found good VL models.

>110B Recommended for unlimited capabilities

Premium AI Models

For paid models, you need to find out the price for processing one image experimentally. Prices often change and vary greatly between different companies, models, and subscriptions. For example, processing with ChatGPT's latest models costs more than $1 per image. The exact price can only be found out by making 1 request and seeing how much money was spent on it. Current approximate prices can be found in AI chats, but they are not always accurate. We recommend using Chinese, cheaper models — GLM, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Mimo.

INSTALLATION

Required MT5 settings (Tools -> Options):

Expert Advisors tab:

• [x] "Algo Trading" in the options or on the toolbar — allow trading. If you will only use analysis, it is not required.
• [x] "Allow WebRequest for listed URL" — allow web requests. Required for communication with AI. Add the URLs of your AI providers and localhost for local models:

Optional:

• Notifications tab — Enable Push Notification — for sending Push messages
• Email tab — Enable Email Notification — for sending Email messages
• FTP tab — enter FTP credentials — for saving chart analysis to FTP

PANEL AND CONTROLS

Panel

The panel is divided into sections. In the settings, all sections can be enabled/disabled and made open/closed by default. Please note that if a section is closed or disabled, the options on it continue to work. You can quickly close and open all sections by clicking on the icons in the header. You can also configure the panel size and font size. There are several preset modes and your own settings (Custom)

Panel header

• Name and version of the Expert Advisor
• Down arrow icon — Opens all sections
• Up arrow icon — Closes all sections
• Underscore/Square icon — Close/Open the panel
• Cross icon — Close the Expert Advisor
• Double click on the header — Close/Open the panel
• Press and hold to move the panel

Start and stop work

• Start work — Click the [Start] button to begin processing symbols using AI
• Timeout — AI processing time. During the timeout, the panel stops responding to any clicks. This is a feature of MQL5, not the Expert Advisor. Nothing can be done until the result is received. In the settings, you can set the timeout time (default 60 seconds). If the model does not have time to process the result, an interruption will occur. Usually 60 seconds is enough for paid and fast models, but sometimes it may not be enough, for example, for large local models. You can set a longer time. The average response from major AIs (Claude, Google, OpenRouter) is 10–15 seconds.
• Red STOP button — processing is in progress.
• The button displays the current symbol number and the total number of symbols. For example 1/10.
• How to stop the process? Click the red button once, and the process will stop after the timeout! Immediate stop will not happen. As a last resort — close MetaTrader.
• If the scheduler is enabled, the time until launch will be displayed on the Stop button.

Requests to AI (Prompts)

It is much more convenient to keep requests in files than in Expert Advisor settings. The settings can hold up to 5 requests. To work with files, the default text editor for .txt files is used — usually Notepad. All request files are edited in the Metatrader/MQL5/Files/Ai_Trader/Prompts folder. You can create any request files there. Then click Refresh to add the files to the request list.

SYMBOLS

Symbols are iterated one by one from the specified lists. They can be specified in the settings, files, or by selecting collections. Note that if there are many symbols and they are loading for the first time, the cache may not always have time to load. A small timeout is needed for this. It can be set in the settings. All files with symbol lists are edited in the Metatrader/MQL5/Files/Ai_Trader/Symbols folder. You can create any files there. Then click Refresh to add the files to the symbol list.

RESPONSE

You can choose what to draw on the chart after the AI response.

SCHEDULER

The scheduler is needed to start work at a specific time. After enabling it, click START, and you will see a timer until the nearest work start. There are detailed interval and time settings. On the panel, you can only enable and disable it.

There are 3 types of scheduler:

1. Interval — for example, every 5 minutes.
2. Interval from the end of work — after the end of work, the interval is measured and the process starts
3. Specific time — you can set a specific time for each day of the week.

FOLDER STRUCTURE

The Expert Advisor creates its own folder structure in MQL5/Files/Ai_Trader. You can access it by clicking Actions->Folder on the panel.
For speed, you can create Prompts and Symbol Lists directly in files, rather than through the panel, for example. The Expert Advisor must be restarted so that it picks up the new lists from the files.
