These figures demonstrate how actively thousands of MetaTrader 5 users are applying AI Assistant for a wide range of tasks — from market analysis to automated trading strategy development.
AI Assistant is integrated directly into MetaTrader 5 and MetaEditor. It helps traders analyze markets, review trading history, identify trading opportunities, understand the behavior of financial instruments, and create or improve MQL5 programs. Simply launch the assistant from the menu or toolbar and describe your task in natural language.

No API keys or third-party service setup are required to get started. You only need to sign in to MetaTrader 5 with your MQL5.community account, and the free MQL5 Lite model will be available automatically.
For additional flexibility, you can connect your own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Ollama, or other compatible AI providers.
