MT5 Expert Advisor Development

Custom Expert Advisors, indicators, trade copiers and algorithmic systems built in MQL5 for MetaTrader 5. Engineered for multi-asset execution, asynchronous order routing, portfolio-level backtesting and strict prop firm compliance — delivered with full MQL5 source code and Strategy Tester verification.

CASE STUDIES
THE PLATFORM

Why MT5 for algorithmic trading?

MetaTrader 5 is the industry standard multi-asset trading platform engineered for modern algorithmic execution. Powered by MQL5 — an object-oriented language syntactically close to C++ — MT5 delivers execution speeds up to 20 times faster than MT4. With native support for Forex, Indices, Commodities, Equities and Cryptocurrencies, MT5 empowers traders and quantitative funds to deploy complex multi-currency portfolio strategies from a single unified Expert Advisor instance.

Where MT5 truly separates itself is its 64-bit multi-threaded Strategy Tester. It natively simulates multi-symbol portfolio strategies in a single test run and connects directly to the MQL5 Cloud Network — allowing genetic parameter optimizations that would take days on a single machine to complete in minutes. Combined with asynchronous order sending (OrderSendAsync), real tick data modeling, and millisecond execution precision, MT5 provides the institutional foundation required for prop firm evaluations and professional trade automation. Every MT5 project we deliver includes full MQL5 source code ownership and Strategy Tester reports.

MT5 development services

From algorithmic prop firm EAs to institutional multi-symbol execution engines — every project includes complete MQL5 source code and documentation.

Custom MT5 Expert Advisors

Production-grade MT5 Expert Advisor development in MQL5. Fully automated trading bots with custom algorithmic entry and exit triggers, position sizing, slippage tolerance, and broker-specific order filling policies.

Multi-Currency Portfolio EAs

Exploit MT5's native multi-symbol engine. We build EAs that monitor and trade dozens of currency pairs, indices, and crypto assets simultaneously from a single chart, with centralized portfolio-level equity protection.

Prop Firm Compliant MT5 EAs

Prop firm-ready EAs coded to pass FTMO, FundedNext, MFF and other firm challenges. Hardcoded daily loss stops, trailing maximum drawdown guards, news calendar filters, and weekend trade flatteners.

MT4 to MT5 MQL5 Migration

Modernize your legacy MQL4 code. We translate MQL4 Expert Advisors and indicators into object-oriented MQL5, optimizing execution and verifying Strategy Tester results for complete behavioral parity.

Cloud Backtesting & Optimization

Multi-threaded Strategy Tester simulations leveraging the distributed MQL5 Cloud Network. Genetic algorithm parameter sweeps, walk-forward testing, and stress testing against real broker tick data.

Custom Indicators & Trade Panels

High-performance MQL5 custom indicators and interactive execution panels. One-click trade execution, visual stop-loss dragging, DOM analysis, and automated alerts to Telegram, email, and mobile push.

Project Case Study

Case Study — Multi-Asset Prop Firm Portfolio EA (MT5)

MT5MQL5Multi-CurrencyProp Firm

Problem

An algorithmic prop trader needed a unified automated system to execute correlated swing breakout strategies across 8 FX pairs and US indices on MT5. The system required strict global account equity protection to comply with a 4% daily loss limit and 8% overall trailing drawdown ceiling.

Solution

Engineered a custom object-oriented MQL5 Expert Advisor utilizing MT5's native multi-symbol capability. Built a centralized portfolio risk controller that aggregates real-time floating equity across all open tickets, throttles exposure on correlated pairs, and triggers atomic position flattening if risk thresholds are approached. Validated via the MQL5 Strategy Tester across 6 years of real broker tick data.

Outcome

Passed both Phase 1 and Phase 2 prop firm evaluations in 24 trading days. Currently managing a funded $200k account with maximum drawdown never exceeding 2.3% in live market conditions.
