Do I need to know how to program?

No. If you can explain your method to another trader in clear steps, you can explain it to me.

Will the Expert Advisor make me money?

I cannot promise that and nobody honestly can. It carries out your rules without emotion. Whether the rules are good, and what the market does next, stay with you.

Can you build it for MetaTrader 4 or another platform?

New Expert Advisors are written for MetaTrader 5 in MQL5. If your system already exists on another platform, the Convert package is the one to look at.

Do I get the source code?

The compiled file is standard. The editable source is available if you ask for it at the start and we confirm it in writing.

Do you keep my strategy private?

Yes. Your rules are not shared, reused or sold. If you want a written confidentiality note, ask before you send the details.

What if you cannot build it?

If the feasibility read shows it cannot be done as described, you pay nothing. If you change your mind before I start writing code, your payment is returned.

MetaTrader 5 has to be open for the program to trade. Many people rent a Windows VPS so the terminal stays on all day. That is a separate matter from the code.

Create an Expert Advisor

You trade a method by hand and you would like a program to follow it without getting tired, greedy or distracted. I turn the rules you write down into an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5, and I run it on a demo account first, then hand it over.

Please read. An Expert Advisor is a tool that follows rules. It does not predict the market, trading carries a high level of risk, and nothing I write comes with a promise of profit. Test every program on a demo account first, and use a real account only when everything works as you expect. Read the Risk Disclosure.

Who it is for

Manual traders who already know their entry, exit and risk rules and want them carried out the same way every time
Traders who have a simple idea and want to see it run in the strategy tester before risking money
Anyone who tried a freelancer once and was handed code they could not trust

Price

€39 fixed, EUR, no VAT added

For a standard case as described on this page. If your case is bigger, I tell you before any extra work.

What is included

A feasibility read of your written rules before any money changes hands, so you hear early if something cannot be coded exactly as you describe it
One new Expert Advisor in MQL5 for one strategy, with your entries, exits, stop loss, take profit and the risk limits you choose
Inputs with plain names, so you can change lot size, hours or levels without opening the code
A run on a demo account and in the strategy tester before delivery, with a short note on what I saw
The compiled file, ready to attach to a chart, and a one-page note on how to install and set it up

What is not included

An opinion on whether the strategy makes money. I check that it can be coded, not that it will pay
Rule changes once coding has begun. They count as a new job, since changing logic halfway often damages the structure
Ideas that cannot be written as exact, testable conditions (for example "enter when it feels strong")
Hosting, a VPS or a broker account. Those are separate and not part of the package
The editable source file, unless you ask for it at the start and we confirm it in writing

What you receive

The compiled Expert Advisor (.ex5)
A short setup note with the input names explained
My test notes from the demo run and the strategy tester
The editable source (.mq5), only if confirmed in writing at the start

How it works

Tell me the idea. Write your rules in plain English: when to enter, when to exit, how much to risk, which symbol and timeframe.
I check it can be built. I read your rules for gaps and contradictions and answer within a working day or two. If it cannot be coded as described, I say so and nothing is charged.
You confirm the final rules. We agree the exact list of rules. This is the point where the specification is frozen.
I write and test. I write the code from scratch, run it on a demo account and in the tester, and fix what I find.
Delivery and a week of fixes. You receive the files. For seven days afterwards I fix genuine bugs, in up to three rounds.

Timeline. A standard case usually takes three to seven working days after the rules are confirmed. I give you the real estimate after the feasibility read, and a larger idea may take longer.

What to send me

The symbol and timeframe the Expert Advisor is meant for
Entry rules, written as exact conditions with the indicator settings you use
Exit rules: stop loss, take profit, trailing, time exits
Risk rules: fixed lot or a percentage of the account, daily or total loss limits
Anything it must never do (for example no trades on Friday evening)
A screenshot or two of a setup you would take, if you have them

Corrections and ownership

Seven days after delivery to report genuine bugs, with up to three rounds of corrections. The window is for faults, not for redesign: new functions or changed logic start a new job.

The code written for you is yours once you have paid in full. I keep my general techniques but never your private rules, and I do not share or reuse what you send me.

Cases like yours

A breakout trader

Missed night-time entries because of the time difference. Needed a program that places the order at the break of a range and manages the exit.

A trader with a daily loss rule

Wanted a program that stops new orders after a set loss, so a bad morning could not turn into a bad week.

A multi-indicator setup

Spent hours waiting for three indicators to agree. Wanted one Expert Advisor to watch and act when they did.
