the automated trading is popular among traders. however, not all traders are programmers, and the creation of an expert advisor with a specific trading strategy requires knowledge of basic programming skills in mql5. visual panels can simplify trade operations, but the implementation of a simple trading algorithm often requires writing code or finding a programmer to implement the algorithm.
