## Summary

, , , , 


In the field of artificial intelligence, autonomous trading robots have been a subject of study for a considerable amount of time. Various AI techniques, such as convolutional neural networks and deep reinforcement learning, have been explored in the finance sector to develop these robots. While many developers have reported success in creating robots that perform exceptionally well during backtesting with historical price data, the performance often deteriorates significantly when these robots are deployed in real market conditions or with unseen data. This paper delves into the fundamental aspects of modeling autonomous traders and highlights the intricate environment that is the financial world. The authors present a comprehensive framework designed to aid in the development and testing of autonomous traders, which can be utilized in both real-world scenarios and simulated operations within financial markets. Additionally, the paper addresses some unresolved challenges within this domain and identifies emerging technologies that hold promise for advancing this field. The authors believe that their framework, known as mt5b3, has the potential to contribute significantly to the development of new autonomous traders. By addressing key issues and leveraging innovative technologies, there is an opportunity to enhance the performance and reliability of autonomous trading robots in navigating the complexities of financial markets effectively.
