Most algo traders optimize Expert Advisors individually but never measure how they behave together on a single account. Correlated strategies amplify drawdowns instead of reducing them, and coverage gaps leave portfolios blind during entire trading sessions. This article builds a complete portfolio scorer in MQL5 that reads daily P&L from backtest CSV files, computes a full Pearson correlation matrix, maps trading activity by hour and weekday, evaluates asset class diversity, and outputs a composite grade from A+ to F. All source code is included; no external libraries are required.

The article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of the singular spectrum analysis (SSA) method, which is an efficient method of time series analysis that allows one to represent the complex structure of a series as a decomposition into simple components, such as trend, seasonal (periodic) fluctuations and noise.

The article describes a complete pipeline that uses data analysis for finding low-frequency lead/lag trading opportunities. It goes into building a cross-correlation-based Lead/Lag analyser step-by-step, with special attention to the most common errors beginners may commit while developing cross-asset diffusion queries. After screening dozens of cointegrated and correlated pairs, a trading candidate pair is chosen, and its tradeability is evaluated in a pure SQL backtest. Once it is qualified, the strategy is backtested on the MetaTester for parameter optimization. The Expert Advisor with respective backtest settings and optimization inputs is provided, along with Python and SQL scripts.

Although we can perform operations on a database containing about 10 records, the material is absorbed much better when we work with a file that contains more than 15 thousand records. That is, if we tried to create such a database manually, this task would be enormous. However, it is difficult to find such a database, even for educational purposes, that is available for download. But in reality, we don’t need to resort to that — we can use MetaTrader 5 to create a database for ourselves. In today's article, we will look at how to do this.
