Quick Start

1. Python inference server (macOS/Linux)

# Create venv (Python 3.11 or 3.12 recommended for sklearn+skl2onnx)
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install numpy onnx onnxruntime fastapi uvicorn pydantic

# Run server
python python/run_server.py
# Server starts on http://0.0.0.0:8000

Test:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/health

2. Train a real ONNX model (optional)

# Requires Python 3.11/3.12 + scikit-learn + skl2onnx
pip install scikit-learn skl2onnx pandas

# With real XAUUSD H1 OHLCV CSV:
python python/ml_pipeline/train_onnx.py

# Or build the current demo model:
python python/ml_pipeline/build_onnx_raw.py

CSV format: datetime,open,high,low,close,volume

3. MQL5 EA setup

1. Open MetaTrader 5
2. Press F4 → Open MetaEditor
3. Create new Expert Advisor MadTurtle
4. Replace generated files with:
   • MadTurtle.mq5 → mql5/scripts/
   • MadTurtle_API.mqh, MadTurtle_MTF.mqh, MadTurtle_UI.mqh → mql5/include/
5. Compile (F7)

4. Run

• Attach EA to XAUUSD H1 chart
• Set server host/port in inputs (default 127.0.0.1:8000)
• Ensure Python server is running before EA starts
• Configure risk inputs manually (lot size, max positions, confidence threshold)

Features

• Real ML inference via ONNX Runtime (no external API calls at runtime)
• 14 engineered features: returns, SMAs, EMA/MACD, RSI, ATR, volume ratio, range, dist_sma20
• Multi-class output: BUY / HOLD / SELL with confidence probabilities
• Multi-timeframe confirmation (H4 + D1 SMA/RSI/MACD filters)
• Dark-themed UI: status dashboard, P&L metrics, equity curve, signal oscillator, chart arrows
• No grid, no martingale, no external dependencies at runtime

Risk Management

You define all risk parameters in EA inputs:

• InpLotSize — fixed lot per trade
• InpMaxPositions — max simultaneous positions
• InpMinConfidence — minimum model confidence to trade
• InpStopLossPts / InpTakeProfitPts — fallback SL/TP if model doesn’t set them

Model Replacement

1. Train a new model on real data
2. Export to models/xauusd_h1_ensemble.onnx
3. Restart Python server — EA picks it up automatically
