Discord Forex AI trading assistant w/ proper position sizing (metatrader5)

AI Trading Assistant with Metatrader5 and position sizing capabilities

Trade or buy/sell forex and xauusd/gold assets with this n8n template. It demonstrates an AI-powered Discord bot that monitors trading commands in a private server channel and automatically executes them on MetaTrader 5, using natural language processing to parse flexible trade syntax and manage signal queues with correct position sizing for lot sizes.

Use cases are many:

Try creating a private Discord trading room where you can execute MT5 trades with simple messages like "buy EU 1% 30 pip SL 3R TP", building a shared trading server where team members can post signals that auto-execute on everyone's MT5, or developing a trading journal bot that logs and executes your strategy calls in real-time!

Good to know

Always test on demo accounts first - this bot executes real trades based on Discord messages, so thorough testing is critical Requires OpenAI API key for natural language processing (GPT-4o-mini model) - costs approximately $0.0001-0.0003 per trade command Discord OAuth2 authentication required - you'll need to create a Discord application and configure webhook permissions The workflow polls Discord every 7 seconds by default - adjust the Schedule Trigger interval to balance responsiveness vs. API rate limits Only processes messages from specified users without emoji reactions - prevents duplicate processing and allows filtering by username MT5 Trading Signal Handler workflow must be running - this bot sends orders to the webhook endpoints from the companion workflow Supports both market orders (instant execution) and limit orders (pending at specific price) Uses two-stage parsing: regex-based parser for speed, with LLM fallback for complex or ambiguous commands No message history - only processes the most recent Discord message per polling cycle Built-in signal management commands - users can check pending signals or clear the queue via natural language

How it works

Scheduled Polling: The Schedule Trigger fires every 7 seconds, setting Discord server ID and channel ID credentials, then fetching the most recent message from the specified channel Message Filtering: The workflow filters messages to only process those from the specified username (e.g., "elijahfx") that haven't been reacted to yet, preventing duplicate processing Processing Indicator: Once a valid message is detected, the bot reacts with a 🔄 emoji to show it's working, providing immediate user feedback AI Classification: The first LLM (GPT-4o-mini) classifies the message intent into six categories: tradeexecution, tradeinquiry, signalquery, signalclear, helprequest, or offtopic Regex Parsing: For trade execution messages, a JavaScript Code node attempts to extract parameters using regex patterns, detecting order type (market vs limit), direction (buy/sell), asset shortcuts (EU→EURUSD, GU→GBPUSD), risk percentage, stop loss, and take profit LLM Fallback: If the regex parser can't confidently extract all required parameters (needsllmreview: true), a second LLM validates completeness and extracts missing fields, ensuring flexible syntax handling Parameter Validation: The workflow checks if all required parameters are present - market orders need direction, asset, risk%, and SL pips; limit orders additionally require entry price Order Type Routing: A Switch node routes complete orders to the appropriate HTTP endpoint - market orders to /webhook/mt5-market-order, limit orders to /webhook/mt5-limit-order MT5 Execution: HTTP Request nodes send the parsed parameters to your local MT5 webhook endpoints, which execute the trades via the companion MT5 Trading Signal Handler workflow Response Handling: The workflow receives confirmation from MT5, then posts a Discord message confirming successful execution or reporting errors with details Signal Management: For signalquery commands, the bot fetches and displays pending signals from the MT5 queue; for signalclear commands, it purges all pending signals via HTTP request Help System: When users request help, the bot posts comprehensive instructions covering trade syntax, asset shortcuts, required parameters, and example commands Query Handling: Non-trade questions about trading are answered directly by the AI, providing a conversational assistant experience
