The "MT5 EA Builder" allows you to easily create your own trading strategy using native MT5 indicators in a simple way.
You can combine trend filters, oscillators, entry methods, stop loss, take profit, trailing stop, trading hours, and risk management in a practical way.

  • Fully configurable through inputs (no recompilation required)
  • Support for the main native MetaTrader 5 indicators
  • 3 different entry methods (Candle Breakout, MA Cross, and Oscillator Signal)
  • Multiple Stop Loss and Take Profit options (including Risk:Reward and Opposite Signal)
  • Advanced Trailing Stop (Points, Money, MA, ATR, and Previous Candle)
  • Complete risk management system
  • Trading hours and trading days control
  • Smart lot calculation (Fixed, % of account, or Money)
  • Automatic closing using opposite oscillator signal

Available Indicators

The same indicators can be used in both the Trend Filter and the Oscillator Filter.

Indicator What It Measures Signal Logic Inside the EA
Moving Average Trend direction Price above/below the Moving Average
ADX Trend strength ADX > 20 + DI+ > DI- (bullish) / DI- > DI+ (bearish)
ATR Volatility Volatility expansion (current ATR > previous ATR)
Bulls Power Buying pressure Cross above zero line
Bears Power Selling pressure Cross above zero (bullish filter) / below zero (bearish filter)
Chaikin Oscillator Money flow / volume Zero line crossover
CCI Extreme levels Cross above -100 (buy) / below +100 (sell)
DeMarker Market exhaustion Cross above 0.30 (buy) / below 0.70 (sell)
Force Index Strength with volume Zero line crossover
MACD Momentum + trend Zero line crossover
Momentum Price acceleration Cross above/below 100
OsMA MACD histogram Zero line crossover
RSI Relative strength Cross above 30 (buy) / below 70 (sell)
Stochastic Momentum vs range Cross above 20 (buy) / below 80 (sell)
Williams %R Extreme levels Cross above -80 (buy) / below -20 (sell)

Important: All oscillator signals use confirmation crossovers, making the EA more robust against false signals.
