Master EA
Build, test and automate your own rule-based trading systems in MetaTrader 5—without writing code. Combine an entry signal with the filters, exits and risk controls your strategy needs.
Turn an idea into an automated ruleset.
MasterEA uses a transparent pipeline: one entry signal creates an opportunity, every active filter must approve it, trade management defines the position and exit rules decide when the trade ends.
Define the setup
Choose time-, indicator-, bar- or range-based entry logic.
Set the conditions
Add multiple filters; all active filters must agree before execution.
Control the trade
Size by fixed lots, money risk or a percentage of account balance.
Define the outcome
Use time, duration, indicators, stops, targets and trailing logic.
The building blocks inside MasterEA
Create different strategy styles from the same structured engine and keep every rule visible, editable and testable.
From price action to indicators
Time Range, Time Entry, Moving Average, JRSX, RSI, Stochastic, Bollinger Bands, Bar and High/Low signals. Dedicated Time and Duration exits are also included.
Trade only when conditions align
Filter by time, weekday, trend, volatility, efficiency, bar structure, signal size and recent trade activity. A high-impact news filter can pause new trades around scheduled events.
Flexible stops and targets
Define stop loss and take profit by pips, market percentage, ATR, standard deviation, recent extremes or entry-signal size—with fixed, price-trailing and time-trailing stop logic.
Account-level emergency brakes
Set minimum equity, maximum floating loss, maximum strategy drawdown and daily drawdown limits. If a configured limit is exceeded, MasterEA stops new entries and closes its open positions.
Manage more from one chart
Trade the current symbol or a defined list of symbols from one EA instance. Separate magic numbers and strategy names keep configurations identifiable in reports.
Know what the system is doing
Review timestamped information, warnings and errors in the integrated log. Optional MT5 email alerts can report trade events and technical problems during unattended operation.
Configure, monitor and analyse without leaving the chart.
The integrated dashboard gives you four focused areas instead of hiding the system behind a single status line.
Test the same rules you intend to run.
MasterEA works inside the MT5 Strategy Tester and includes dedicated tooling for single tests, optimization and forward validation.
Inspect the complete result
Evaluate equity, drawdown, profit factor, expected payoff, trade count and detailed transactions before considering live use.
Search beyond the best pass
Use custom optimization criteria, time-based equity recording, neighbour analysis and walk-forward evaluation to judge parameter stability.
Validate in live conditions
Save configurations as .set files, then run the same setup on a demo account to compare spreads, execution and behaviour with the backtest.
React on every tick.
Choose a normal modeling timeframe to evaluate rules once per bar, or use Every Tick to evaluate entries, exits and filters on each incoming tick. This enables time-sensitive logic to react within a bar instead of waiting for the next candle.
See MasterEA in action.
Follow the workflow inside MetaTrader 5 and see how a strategy is configured, tested and monitored through the MasterEA interface.
What you need
MetaTrader 5
MasterEA is built for MT5. MetaTrader 4 is not supported.
An EA-compatible account
Any MT5 broker is supported in principle. Check symbol names, execution conditions and prop-firm rules before use.
Continuous operation
A stable VPS is recommended when strategies must remain active while your local computer is offline.
Want to build and automate your own strategy?
Get the complete modular strategy builder for a clear monthly price. Contact me if you have questions about the technical requirements or whether MasterEA fits your workflow.
MasterEA is a technical execution tool, not investment advice. Backtests and examples do not guarantee future results.
Trading Analyzer
A Windows desktop workspace for live account history, MT5 backtest reports and optimization results. Analyse strategies individually or as a portfolio, compare expected and realised behaviour, test robustness and make data-driven decisions.
Trading Analyzer is an analysis tool, not investment advice. Screenshots show example data from the application. Backtests, simulations and past results do not guarantee future performance.
Keep live trading, backtests and optimization evidence in context.
Trading Analyzer keeps every source in its own area, then gives you the tools to investigate performance, risk and execution without mixing simulated and live results. Filters apply before every KPI and chart, so each conclusion reflects the accounts, strategies, symbols and period you actually selected.
The complete Trading Analyzer 2.1.5 application for Windows, activated with your personal licence key.
From account history to portfolio robustness.
The feature set follows the way systematic traders actually work: review live execution, validate backtests, compare both, and challenge optimization results before deployment.
See what every account and strategy actually traded
Connect multiple MT5 terminals or import account history. Analyse performance, drawdowns, costs, trades and deployments by account, symbol, strategy and period, with automatic refresh and readable strategy names.
Build and evaluate a strategy portfolio
Maintain a library of MT5 Strategy Tester reports, combine strategies and inspect equity, monthly results, correlations, trade frequency, Monte Carlo paths and lot-weighting suggestions from one selected portfolio.
Measure expectation against live execution
Overlay live equity with a Monte Carlo expectation range and compare frequency, duration, drawdowns, rolling performance and streaks. Trade matching highlights deviations in timing, volume and result.
Look for robust regions, not isolated best passes
Inspect MT5 optimization passes with parameter surfaces, Walk-Forward, Robust WF, WFC, Probability of Backtest Overfitting, Monte Carlo and parameter-permutation tests, combined into a practical robustness score.
Stress drawdown, capital and historical margin
Review drawdown depth and duration, Risk of Ruin, Value at Risk and correlated drawdowns. Historical margin stress estimates peak margin, free margin, open lots and the balance required for a target margin level.
Keep the analysis usable in daily work
Convert mixed account currencies for portfolio comparison, export filtered trades, check magic-number deployments, preserve data across updates and create a diagnostics package without exposing histories or licence keys.
Know when your trading infrastructure stops.
Connection Monitor watches the broker connection, quote feed, trading permissions, account conditions and your trading EAs. It never places a trade—it observes, records and alerts.
Detect problems when MT5 cannot report them.
A monitor running inside MT5 can diagnose trading problems, but it cannot send an alert after the terminal or VPS has failed. Connection Monitor separates those jobs.
Diagnose inside MT5
Monitor connection, quotes, permissions, margin, positions, clock drift and the state of trading EAs. Alerts are sent through MT5 email or push notifications.
Detect a silent terminal
An external heartbeat can alert when MT5 freezes or crashes, the VPS loses power or the internet connection disappears.
Recover automatically
The optional scheduled task runs outside MT5, detects missing or frozen terminals, checks free disk space and can restart each registered terminal within a controlled restart budget.
External heartbeat alerts use healthchecks.io and require a separately configured account and notification channel.
One panel for the health of your operation.
The draggable on-chart panel shows what is being supervised, the current state and the most recent event—without opening several logs or settings windows.
Broker access and fresh quotes
Confirm the terminal connection, server latency and age of the latest quote. A connected terminal with a stalled feed is detected separately.
Know when execution is blocked
Detect disabled Algo Trading, broker-side trading restrictions and accounts where EA trading is no longer permitted.
Watch account-wide limits
Optional thresholds cover margin level, free margin, position count and daily drawdown. Positions without a broker-side stop loss are reported after a configurable grace period.
Detect missing or silent systems
Chart-level supervision detects when an attached EA disappears without modifying its code. The optional sensor adds execution heartbeats and rejected-order reporting.
Catch time drift on the VPS
Compare the local Windows clock with broker time during a live market, with confirmation and hysteresis to avoid repeated alarms around the limit.
Keep a forensic timeline
Warnings, recoveries, suppressed notifications and periodic snapshots are written to a CSV event log for later troubleshooting.
An alert should mean something.
Connection Monitor distinguishes a confirmed failure from a short market or network interruption. Problems stay visible in the panel and log even when notifications are intentionally quiet.
Two heartbeats tell you where to look.
Built for more than one terminal.
Each MT5 terminal has its own monitor and EA heartbeat. One machine-level watchdog supervises the entire VPS while keeping restart counters separate for every terminal.
Per-terminal isolation
A repeatedly failing terminal cannot consume the restart allowance of the others.
One daily machine report
Receive one combined status email covering accounts, positions, terminal health and monitored EAs across the machine.
Controlled restarts
Two stale checks are required before a frozen terminal is restarted, with delayed starts and a per-terminal restart brake.
Add an independent health layer to your MT5 setup.
Runs on Windows with MetaTrader 5. The optional watchdog uses built-in Windows PowerShell and Task Scheduler; no administrator rights are required.
Test what happens when the data changes.
Data Editor lets you select, remove and shift historical price periods directly on a MetaTrader 5 chart, then export the edited result as clean bar or tick data for controlled testing.
Edit once. Test the exact same scenario repeatedly.
Mark periods visually
Select exact time ranges on the chart, jump to a date and use adjustable step controls for precise navigation.
Delete or shift data
Remove selected periods or move them by one to twelve hours. Overlap checks protect the destination range.
Build recurring scenarios
Apply deletions daily, weekly or yearly, then shorten, split or remove individual edits without starting again.
Reuse editing plans
Save a complete set of edits and load it again later, so a scenario remains consistent across test runs.
Coordinate chart views
Use two daily reference marks, automatic scrolling and linked charts to inspect the same period from several perspectives.
Create bar or tick files
Export edited history as ticks or M1 through D1 bars without changing the original broker history.
See the workflow in practice.
The walkthrough shows how chart-based selections become repeatable edits and how the finished history is prepared for export.
Choose the data your test needs.
Create tick files or bar files in M1, M5, M10, M15, M30, H1, H4 and D1. Outputs are written separately to the Data Editor history folder.
Preserve, define or import spreads.
Keep the original spread, set a fixed value, estimate it from symbol history or import a daily or weekly profile recorded with the free Spread Recorder.
Built for deliberate offline preparation.
Data Editor is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor for Windows. It does not place trades and it is not designed to run inside the Strategy Tester. The tool leaves broker history untouched and creates separate CSV files in MQL5\Files\DataEditor\History.
Turn historical data into a controlled test variable.
The public documentation covers installation, every editing tool, export formats, spread modes, shortcuts and troubleshooting.
Measure the costs your broker actually shows.
Spread Recorder loads historical ticks or records live spreads in MetaTrader 5, reveals recurring daily and weekly patterns and turns the result into an exportable spread profile.
Build a spread profile from broker data.
A fixed spread assumption hides when transaction costs expand. Spread Recorder helps you inspect that variation and create a time-based series for more realistic research.
Load stored ticks
Choose a start and end time, then calculate spread observations from the broker history available in MT5.
Record new quotes
Sample the current broker spread every ten seconds while the terminal remains connected and the EA is running.
Compare up to 28 symbols
Use the current chart, all Market Watch symbols or your own semicolon-separated symbol list.
See more than an average
Review raw history, minimum, average and maximum spreads, plus daily and weekly distribution charts.
Find gaps in the source
Daily and weekly datapoint views show where observations exist and where the broker history is incomplete.
Create a reusable CSV profile
Export 1,440 daily or 10,080 weekly minute values in broker points after previewing the calculated result.
Inspect spread behaviour directly inside MT5.
Switch between six focused views, select symbols individually and change the displayed period from one minute to the complete loaded history.
Shape the profile before export.
The file builder converts the selected symbol into one value for every minute of a day or week. Each transformation remains visible in the preview.
Choose the statistic
Create the profile from the minimum, arithmetic average or maximum spread observed in each minute.
Handle missing values
Keep gaps visible or interpolate between neighbouring observations to form a complete series.
Add a safety markup
Increase every calculated value by a percentage to model a more conservative spread assumption.
Smooth the curve
Apply a centred smoothing period of 3, 5, 9, 15 or 25 values—or preserve the unsmoothed series.
Control rounding
Round normally, upward or downward when converting the result to integer broker points.
Preview, then save
Review the final daily or weekly curve in the chart before writing the semicolon-separated CSV file.
Replace a guessed spread with measured evidence.
The output reflects the broker and account from which it was recorded. Spread does not include commission, swap, slippage, execution delay or market impact.

Choose the right broker so you can focus on trading.
The broker is responsible for transmitting orders, and receives a brokerage fee for that service. Private investors cannot trade directly without one, so every trader needs a good broker.
Why we use Darwinex for our trading
A walkthrough of the reasons this broker ended up carrying our own live accounts.
The broker we recommend
We hold an active real-money account with every broker we recommend. We trade with them ourselves, so we can recommend them with a clear conscience.
Darwinex is a relatively small and still fairly unknown broker based in the UK, largely because it hardly invests in advertising and wins customers by recommendation. It does not act against its own customers, so it has an interest in their long-term success. It also runs a platform where any trader can release a strategy for investors and take a share of the profits those investors make. We trade mainly with Darwinex, so we are happy to recommend it.
Visit DarwinexTo achieve good results you need a stable connection.
A VPS, or virtual private server, is like a remote computer. It can be operated anywhere in the world and is always on with an active internet connection. That constant connection lets trades and automated trading algorithms run around the clock, even when your own PC is switched off. For algo traders a VPS is essential.
