🛠 From your idea to a finished tool in minutes

Almost every trader has an idea they would love to try. RSI overbought, MACD agrees, price above the EMA 200. Or FX Power combined with FX Trend.

On BuildYourTools you describe it as precisely as you can, and you are guided to the finished .ex5 file. Load it into the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester and see how your rules would have played out on past prices.

See it first. Questions with suggested answers, then a prototype on the chart. Clarification and three rounds are free.

Then order the build. One fixed price per project, with indicators and expert advisors checked in the Strategy Tester before delivery.

Bring in our tools. Your idea can use FX Power, IX Power, FX Dynamic, FX Levels or FX Trend, once the product is installed in your MetaTrader 5.

Your idea belongs to you: we use it solely for your project.

🔥The market is extremely quiet today. I still came out ahead.

I noticed it because the signals got fewer as the day went on. FX Dynamic, top right in the picture, confirmed my hunch: EURUSD is at 34 percent of its average daily range, most other majors between 50 and 68 percent.

The searching was left to the tools. The Power Candles Strategy Scanner reported the signals. Power Candles put the tested setup on the chart. Premium Trade Manager executed at a fixed risk.

✅ Six trades on my demo account, four of them in profit. The result is in the picture.

Profit booked, I'm calling it a day.

One day shows the workflow. What a setup is worth shows over many trades.

🚀Smart Stop Manager 3.1 tells you what it did with your stop.

A stop manager works in the background. So what did it do, and when? In 3.1 the row tells you: after a stop change it shows "SL updated" for a minute, and the detail line names the old stop, the new stop and the time.

✅ The glass panel of the Smart Stop Scanner 4.0. Status in colour, and point at any row that needs a look: it explains itself in plain words.

✅ Short stops include the spread. Indicator, scanner and manager now follow one Bid/Ask logic.

✅ A magic filter with a list: only the listed numbers, or all except them. Every position it covers is managed, also on later pages of the panel.

The core stays: the manager only ever tightens a stop. While the structure runs against your trade, your own stop does the work.

If you own the manager, 3.1 is a free update in the MQL5 Market. New to it? Until Sunday 25 October it is 59 USD instead of 79. Have a look.

🚀Power Bar 1.2 keeps your settings, in a new glass panel.

You tuned Power Bar to a symbol, switched the timeframe and started all over again. Traders asked me to change that, and they are right: what you worked out for a symbol should stay.

✅ Your tab and setup values return after a timeframe change, a symbol change or a terminal restart, the values kept per symbol.

✅ The glass panel keeps one height in every tab, and its gear opens switches for arrows, lines and alerts right on the chart.

✅ Arrows sit behind the candles and past signal lines are fine and dotted, so the candles stay readable.

The core stays: three readings of the extreme candle, tested against the history of your chart. The panel counts raw moves before spread and costs, so read it as a pre-selection. The entry stays your call.

If you own Power Bar, 1.2 is a free update in the MQL5 Market. New to it? Until Sunday 18 October it is 59 USD instead of 79. Have a look.

✅ Entry, stop loss and take profit at exact prices
✅ Every past trade of the setup drawn in, with its outcome
✅ Candles coloured by strength, a Signal line in plain words
✅ Auto-apply keeps the plan current after every closed bar
✅ The Power Candles Strategy Scanner alerts you to fresh signals across your Market Watch, and one click switches your chart

The decision stays yours.

Trading involves risk.

One ordinary week in gold was enough to wipe out accounts

Between October 7 and 9, nine buyers of Quantum Queen X reported on the product page that the EA wiped out their account or came close. The accounts they named ranged from 700 EUR to 4,500 USD.

An ordinary market was enough: from the last closed trade on the vendor's signal on September 30 to the day's low on October 7, gold fell 110 USD. Across a whole week, that is only slightly more than gold moves on an average day (about 98 USD).

The EA sits at rank 2 on the MT5 bestseller list and sells for 1,199.99 USD. As of October 10, one of the nine reviews shows neither text nor stars. Our archive kept it.

🎬Premium Trade Manager has its film. Sixty seconds, one gold trade, from the plan to the trailing stop.

Every other trade manager executes your click. This one weighs it first.

✅ Drag the stop, the lot size follows, and your risk stays exactly what you set.

✅ Max reads this exact setup against your live account. The decision stays yours.

✅ One click on Execute, and the panel takes over. The trailing stop carries the rest.

🚀Version 3.3 is in the MQL5 Market too: Break-Even runs alongside every trailing method, Max answers while the manager keeps working, and Smart Stop works for sells, spread included. If you own it, 3.3 is a free update.

New to it? One-time purchase, lifetime updates, and every purchase comes with two months of Max as your coach.

🚀Smart Stop Scanner 4.0 scans your Market Watch, live.

The symbols you trade already sit in your Market Watch. So I made it the scan. And the panel now wears the glass design of the Smart Stop Indicator 3.0.

✅ Change your Market Watch and the scan follows. An Include or Exclude list narrows it down.

✅ Behind the gear sits a settings page: hide broken stops, show only new ones, switch alerts and their channels.

✅ Short stops include the spread, by the same rule as the Smart Stop Indicator since 3.0.

✅ Every alert is one line: symbol, timeframe, event, stop and scanner name.

✅ The panel is there the moment you attach it and fills symbol by symbol.

✅ Click a row and the chart switches to that symbol. With the Smart Stop Indicator on it, you see the level drawn.

If you own the scanner, 4.0 is a free update in the MQL5 Market. New to it? This week it is 79 USD instead of 99, until Sunday 11 October. Have a look.

The Smart Stop Indicator got a new panel this week, and short stops now include the spread.

The panel now has the same Glass layout as Power Candles. The stop level is the largest figure on it, in white, with BUY in green or SELL in red beside it, so where your last stop sits is the first thing you read.

A short is stopped out on the Ask. So the sell stop line, the panel level and the alerts now sit the normal spread above the swing high. A trader asked me for this.

The chart stays responsive however many stop levels it shows. Six fixes keep the ADR labels readable, give each status its own colour and let your EA read the levels with the candle colouring hidden.

Version 3.0 is in the MQL5 Market now, free for every owner. And until Sunday, 4 October, 23:59 CEST, the new version comes at the series price: 59 USD instead of 79.

Your stop at the level the chart actually gives you.

My stop methods had proven themselves, and still they sometimes took me out too early. So I built a stop that reads the market structure and moves with it.

The Smart Stop Indicator shows the most recent valid stop level on your chart, for BUY or SELL: the exact price, its distance as a share of the daily range, and its status live: new, valid or broken. Alerts tell you when a new level forms and when one breaks, and broken levels turn grey in the panel, so the valid one stands out. I spent a long time on this one aspect of trading, and it became one of my favorite products.

A new structure takes a little longer, and until it forms, the indicator waits. The call on the trade stays yours. It runs in MetaTrader 5, on every timeframe.

This week it is 59 USD instead of 79, until Sunday 4 October. Have a look.

Sentiment is live in REVDEN.

Who is on which side of a pair? The answer sits in three places: the regulator's weekly report for the large funds, the futures exchange for the active trades of the last trading day, the spot market for the live positions of retail traders. The new sentiment overview puts all three side by side, one row per pair, for the seven major pairs and gold.

✅ Large funds, exchange flow and retail traders, each from its own source
✅ Funds and retail traders on one scale of seven classes, next to the state of a week ago
✅ When all three sit on the same side, the row shows it at a glance
✅ Its own page in REVDEN, plus the detail on each of the eight symbol pages

Pro and VIP see all three players live, and a free account shows the eight rows with each pair's weekly move.

→ The film, from the sentiment scene: https://youtu.be/EAr28q9dAqw?t=54
→ The whole series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKm-ziHHBYxw

The Scanner now fills its list in about 80% less time than before. Two free updates this week.

Attach the Power Candles Strategy Scanner and the panel is there at once. The list fills in one continuous pass, also after a change of calculation period. I timed it on my own terminal and rounded the figure down.

The same update brings five requests from traders: a panel that folds to one line, alerts that carry the scanner's name, a minimum historical win rate, a spread column and two more filter fields.

The second update lets you click through the list freely. Each chart keeps its calculation period through a symbol click and a restart, and each alert comes once, however often you click. The first scan only fills the list, every alert after it reports a change.

Both are in the MQL5 Market now, free for every owner.

The series price runs until Sunday, 27 September, 23:59 CEST: 111 USD instead of 139.

What is the market doing today, and which part of it concerns me?

Max walks through REVDEN in one take: every page gives the market a state word, says what it means today and where the label stops. Nine pages in the order of a trading day, from the pulse to Max in the portal, around four minutes.

The futures exchange in the market picture, the calendar read for your symbols, the whole signal population in Intelligence, and at the end Max answers with the same words.

Watch the tour, then look at today's symbol.

👉 The tour on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DgCC0x01UJc
→ The tour on our own page: https://stein.investments/videos#tour
→ Today's symbol, free: https://revden.io/today

REVDEN reads the trading day and names the state. Trading involves risk.

The first chart after install now opens on the tested setup. Power Candles 4.5, a Friday update.

In the first minute after install the chart and the Auto-Optimizer table could show two different setups, the standard one on the chart and the tested one in the table. Needless confusion, spotted thanks to your feedback, and 4.5 clears it up.

Auto-apply best is now on by default. The chart lands on the setup that measured best on its own past candles and follows the optimizer from there, once an open signal has closed. Off in Settings if you want the chart to hold.

Four more things went into 4.5. After a setup change the next new arrow is the next signal, and the panel reads "waiting for next" until it arrives. A signal whose stop would sit under the spread floor stays off the chart and out of the optimizer (new input "Min SL (x spread)"). The panel folds to one line with a click on the header glyph, setup and signal state stay visible. And the indicator is lighter on busy charts: a new bar is drawn from what it already knows.

Version 4.5 is in the MQL5 Market now, a free update.

The series price runs until Sunday, 20 September, 23:59 CEST: 79 USD instead of 99.

The strength sits in the candle, and the indicator finds its own best settings.

Strength indicators used to live in a sub-window, and I kept connecting line and candle by eye. So I put the strength into the candle itself: Power Candles colors it from dark red to dark green, and the chart reads at a glance.

While I built it, the indicator began testing its own strategies. On every closed bar it runs more than 3,000 trade simulations for the symbol and timeframe on your chart, and one click on Apply Best puts entry, stop and target at exact prices. On the Market it stands at 4.7 out of 5.

The best setup is the one that did best on the past candles of that chart, a record of history, and the call stays yours. It runs in MetaTrader 5, and the Market demo works in the Strategy Tester.

This week it is 79 USD instead of 99, until Sunday 20 September. Have a look.

Stocks are live in REVDEN.

Reading one stock takes a chart, three moving averages, then the index and its sector next to it. Twenty names on a list, and the evening is gone. REVDEN now does that after every exchange close, for 120 stocks from the US (62), Europe (43) and the UK (15).

✅ Trend state: ordered up, ordered down, sideways or in transition, with the distance in ATR
✅ Relative strength against the home index and the stock's own sector basket, over 20 and 60 days
✅ 52-week band, day move, volatility and activity, as of the last exchange close
✅ The overview sorts all 120 by the same fields, every row opens the stock's daily structure

Prices come from the IC Markets CFD feed, and every label is computed from price structure alone. The whole field belongs to the VIP membership, and one stock a day stands open to everyone.

A trader asked for this on 3 September. It made sense, so news protection in 3.2 now covers the running position too.

The news guard in Premium Trade Manager already holds you back from a new entry around a high-impact release. The request: the same cover for the position that is already running while you are at work.

Version 3.2 adds Hard Close on News as an option, off until you switch it on. You set how many minutes ahead of the event it acts, and whether it reaches everything the panel manages or only the currency the release belongs to. Inside that window it closes at market and deletes the pending orders behind them.

Which releases count is decided by the impact we measured on how the market actually moved: critical and high.

It is in the MQL5 Market now, a free update.

The series price runs until Sunday, 13 September, 23:59 CEST: 89 USD instead of 111.

Push is part of Pro now. VIP gets the Premium mark.

Push notifications belong to Pro with the same reach VIP has. A new signal in Forex or Gold, a setup on your watchlist that comes off the table, a high impact release ahead, a risk change on a symbol you follow: it reaches your device with the browser closed. You switch it on in Settings, tab Notifications.

Premium setups are the signals that have performed better than the average of all signals since February 2026. VIP sees the mark where the signal is, with the reason beside it. Pro sees how many are active right now.

The mark appears as soon as a setup meets the conditions, and the line under the active signals holds the count on the quiet days too.

The symbol workspace also has a new pair of tiles: Why now, and What ends it.

What you read there is an observation of what has already happened. The trading decision stays with you.
