Top Expert Advisors for MetaTrader 5 based on user ratings - 5

Exporting your deal history is easy and a dozen scripts already do it..

This Expert Advisor is that missing bridge. Attach it to any chart and it periodically writes the calendar to a CSV file in `MQL5\Files`, where anything outside the terminal can read it.

Everyone running a grid asks: is my account big enough? The usual answer - the loss at the last grid level - is the wrong number. What ends the account is the margin level reaching the broker's stop-out, while the chain is still open and still looks recoverable. This EA computes the real figure, then counts how often a move that large has already happened on the symbol's own M1 history. Three mistakes it fixes, all erring in the reassuring direction: a chain of N legs floats at step x N(N-1)/2, not step x N (at 10 legs, 45 steps of loss, not 10); open positions also lock up margin while they float; and stop-out is a percentage, not zero - at 50%, losing half the equity is enough. "You need 86 dollars of room" is an abstraction. "A move that size happened 71 times in 100 days, one every 1.4" is a decision. Set InpEquity to a size you do not have yet to see what the configuration would really need. Strictly read-only: it never opens, closes or modifies a position.

Cost is the one input to a trading system that is knowable exactly, and it is almost always estimated wrongly - always in the direction that flatters the strategy. This EA measures what one round trip really costs on YOUR broker: the live spread sampled from ticks, the swap for both sides including the triple-charge day, and the commission read from your own deals. Most spread figures come from the bar's "spread" field, because that is the easy one to reach. It is a per-bar summary, not the quote at any instant. Measured on XAUUSD: 20 points live across 60 readings against a bar-field median of 6. A factor of 3.3. So a filter set to "skip if spread > 15" never fires - it lets through exactly the moments it exists to block. Swap is the half most custom simulators do not charge at all. It is asymmetric, one side pays while the other collects, and one weekday counts three times. Read-only: it never opens, closes or modifies a position.

GDS Renko Replay Trainer is a free educational tool for practising manual decisions on historical Renko charts in MetaTrader 5. Load a historical interval, replay it forward and place virtual BUY or SELL trades. You can pause, advance one tick or move to the next completed Renko brick. Each virtual position has a stop loss and take profit, and the trainer records the results of your session. The tool builds fixed-size Renko bricks from historical Bid/Ask ticks, with a classic two-brick reversal. Future ticks are not used to draw the visible chart or execute virtual trades. Buy trades use Ask for entry and Bid for exit; sell trades use the opposite sides. Orders entered on the panel wait for the next replayed valid tick. Stops and targets are checked on every tick, including price gaps.

This educational Expert Advisor demonstrates one simple way to trade momentum on Renko bricks in MetaTrader 5. Momentum is the difference between the latest completed Renko close and the close N bricks earlier, divided by the brick size. A crossing above the positive threshold produces a BUY signal; a crossing below the negative threshold produces a SELL signal. Staying beyond a threshold does not generate repeated signals. The EA builds classic fixed-size Renko internally from Bid ticks, with a two-brick reversal. Orders use the available market Bid/Ask rather than synthetic brick prices. If several bricks form on one tick, only a crossing on the final brick can trigger entry. There is one position at a time, with virtual take profit, virtual stop loss, a maximum holding time, a cooldown and a spread filter. No external indicator, DLL, custom symbol or offline chart is required.

GDS Renko Dual MA Demo EA is a small educational Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5. It shows one simple way to combine classic fixed-size Renko bricks with two simple moving averages calculated directly from completed Renko closes.

Strict risk management utility for prop-firm challenges. Automatically monitors your entire account to prevent daily and max drawdown failures. It acts as a safety buffer against spread spikes and revenge trading by instantly closing all positions and pending orders before your evaluation is terminated.

Enforces your own risk rules on every position, whether opened by hand or by another EA: shows the lot size that matches your risk, locks the account for the day after a set loss, caps open positions, trims positions that risk more than allowed, and adds a stop-loss to any position opened without one.

Panel that samples the spread once per second and shows it in points and in the symbol's natural unit (pips on FX, index points on index CFDs), with rolling min/avg/median/max, a session statistic since server midnight, the spread as percent of ATR, a hold-time alert and an optional CSV log. It never sends an order.

The advisor opens trades when two moving averages (Fast and Slow) cross. It works on any instrument and timeframe.

Educational MT5 EA: closed-bar EMA crossover entries, ATR-based stop loss and take profit, lot size from a fixed percent of equity via OrderCalcProfit, spread filter, magic-number isolation and server return-code checks. A clean template for building risk-controlled EAs. No profit claim.

Account-wide MT5 risk protection EA for prop-firm and personal accounts. Monitors daily and overall drawdown, position losses, safety buffers, and automatically protects the account when configured limits are reached.

Measures whether an indicator repaints instead of trusting the claim. It re-reads the buffers of any custom indicator on bars that have already closed and counts every value that changes, appears or disappears, with the furthest shift back at which that still happens. Verdict per buffer on a chart panel, every event written to CSV.

Gold EA that trades both directions: when the stochastic signal line turns, it places a stop order at yesterday's high or low, filtered by a Bollinger band. Self-contained, no custom indicators. Backtest on XAUUSD H1, July 2021 to September 2026: +245% on a 1,000 USD deposit at a fixed 0.01 lot, 23.9% maximum equity drawdown.

Audits the bar history your terminal actually holds, which is the history every backtest and every indicator reads. Six checks per symbol: impossible OHLC values, broken bar times, bars missing while the broker's own session table says it was quoting, empty and flat bars, bars that disagree with the broker's own M1 series, and spread sanity. The headline figure is session coverage, not a grid percentage that mostly measures how many weekends you audited. Every finding goes to CSV with its bar time, and the audited bars plus the session table can be dumped so the whole report can be recounted by something other than this tool.

Opening Range Breakout EA template with built-in account protection. Marks the high and low of the first N minutes after the session open and places OCO stop orders above and below the range. Includes risk-based position sizing, daily loss limit, maximum drawdown limit, ATR range filter, trade direction filter, and protection against positions carried overnight. All session times are configurable inputs. Educational template, not a profit-guaranteed system. Test on demo before any live use.

Audits the tick history that 'Every tick based on real ticks' backtests replay. Five checks per symbol over the last N days: impossible and crossed quotes, timestamps that run backwards or repeat, one-tick price reversals sized in multiples of the symbol's own median spread, silences inside the broker's declared quote sessions, and minutes where the ticks and the M1 bars disagree. Every finding goes to CSV with its millisecond timestamp, and the tool prints its own arithmetic so the report can be recounted. Read only: no trade function, no DLL, no network.

A free, fully open JPN225 (Nikkei 225) EA for M15. Buys when price leans up, momentum isn't stretched and volume is quiet. Backtest 2022 to 2026: profit factor 1.68, +18.5% a year, passed 15 stress tests. Flat by 17:00.

Checks the broker's session table against the M1 history. For every minute of the week it counts on how many of the last N days the symbol really has a bar, and sets that next to SymbolInfoSessionQuote and SymbolInfoSessionTrade: declared minutes that are usually empty (rollover holes), bars in minutes the table calls closed, trade and quote tables that disagree, and one-off outages such as an early holiday close. Prints the real sessions per weekday, writes every finding to CSV and prints its own arithmetic. Read only: no trade function, no DLL, no network.

DailyLossGuard — Hard Daily Loss Protection (Prop-Firm Challenge Essential)

Reads the server clock from the symbol's own H1 history. The forex and CME week closes at 17:00 New York, so the server time of every weekly close gives the server's UTC offset for that week. Over 60 weeks it flags irregular closes, dates every clock change and tests it against the US and European daylight saving calendars, cross-checks TimeTradeServer minus TimeGMT, and lists the server time of the London, New York, Tokyo and Sydney opens for the coming weeks. Writes every close to CSV. Read only: no trade function, no DLL, no network.

GER40 Evening Coil is a free, fully open EA for the German 40 index on H1. It buys in the evening session after a recent narrow-range bar, when volatility is calm and volume is normal, and closes everything by 23:00 server time. Four conditions, long only, one trade at a time, a stop loss on every trade.

USDX Trader v1.33 — Synthetic Dollar Index chart and basket trading for MetaTrader 5 Version 1.33 · MetaTrader 5 · Any broker that offers the major USD pairs

This Expert Advisor trades fair value gaps in the direction of market structure, the way Smart Money Concepts describes it. It is the third step of a series that has been built one piece at a time: In previous shared codes, the SMC Pullback Indicator decided which highs and lows matter, the SMC Market Structure indicator turned those swings into a trend with BoS, CHoCH, IDM and liquidity sweeps, and this EA trades the result.
