In late October 2010, MQL5 Wizard was released as a new component of the MetaTrader 5 terminal. The wizard automatically generates the code of a trading robot. With MQL5 Wizard, knowledge of programming languages is no longer a prerequisite for creating trading robots - the application performs all the operations required for creating an Expert Advisor.

The program creates different EA modules to significantly simplify the robot development process. A user only has to set parameters and select the necessary components. MQL5 Wizard will do the rest.

MQL5.com website for MQL5 application developers appeared in 2010.

Over a period of 13 weeks (from October 1 to December 26, 2008), trading robots of the Championship participants competed for the grand prize - the title of the Best Expert Advisor of the Year and the prize fund of $80 000. The Championship gathered Expert Advisors with different trading strategies, algorithms and trading symbol sets. 

Thanks to the participants, we were able to enhance our understanding of the automated trading. For many participants, the competition was a good opportunity to test and evaluate their trading robots without interfering with their work.

Kiril Kartunov won the award for "The first place in the Automated Trading Championship 2008" and $40 000, while his trading robot was entitled the Best Expert Advisor of the Year.
