There are some Expert Advisor 'builders' coming out. One is by a company called Molanis http://www.molanis.com/home. Can anyone on here suggest a good builder or is it better to stay away from them?

I've tried out quite a few of the "visual builders" and my personal opinion is, learn to code in MQL instead! ;) The learning curve can be quite steep with the visual builders and in the end, it won't come anywhere near the flexibility you will get from learning how to code them yourself.
Thank you sir. I should learn MQL then. let's say I wanted to do this strategy http://screencast.com/t/XtAL8bvD in MQL 5? Do you have that or something else that I could use as a starting point?

From what I can see, that looks to be a simple MA cross EA - is that correct? If so, you should find plenty of examples in the code base to get you going. The code base is an excellent place to start learning MQL. Actually, doesn't MT5 come pre-loaded with an MA cross EA? I'm not at my trading PC so can't confirm....

If topic is about Mt5 the wizard is a good tool to start creating experts

That is an interesting concept. I don't see it though http://screencast.com/t/rwxOheyh.

The wizard is in MetaEditor, not the MT Terminal. There's quite a few articles on MQL5 which cover it. Type "wizard" in the search box and you'll find them. This should get you started:)

I'm still not seeing where to call the wizard. This page http://www.metatrader5.com/en/metaeditor/help/mql5_wizard suggests you can call it by going to New, but all that does is ask which currency pair. There is no option in either 4 or 5 to bring up the wizard. What am I missing?

As mentioned above, The wizard is in MetaEditor, not the MT Terminal. You can launch MetaEditor by pressing F4 when in MT
