15-Minute First Bot

Name your EA → pick an indicator (e.g. RSI) → set buy entry conditions → compile → download → run in MetaTrader Strategy Tester. The free Starter plan includes 2 EAs and 5 compiles per day.

Build faster with Strategy AI

Open the EA or Indicator builder, click the Strategy AI chip (bottom-right), describe your rules in plain English—e.g. "Buy when RSI crosses above 30 on H1"—then click Apply to form to fill buy/sell conditions automatically.

Free vs Paid

Starter limits bite when you need exit logic, money management, source export, or more than 5 compiles per day. Upgrade to Trader when you are ready to go live with full entry + exit rules.

Risk & Safeguards

Daily loss caps, drawdown limits, session filters, and news filters protect capital before you attach any bot to a live account. Configure safeguards in the builder—not as an afterthought.

Custom Indicators

Drop your indicator file in the folder, save a .set file, and wire custom indicators into entry conditions without hand-writing MQL integration code.

Going Live
