Rule VII.8 of the Freelance Service...ChatGPT/Claude and AI tools for MQL development

New comment
 

Rule VII.8 of the Freelance Service prohibits submitting “code generated automatically through a third-party service”.

At the same time, MetaQuotes officially publishes materials demonstrating the use of ChatGPT/Claude and AI tools for MQL development.

I would like to clarify the exact meaning of Rule VII.8.

Is it allowed to use an external AI coding assistant such as ChatGPT during development if the developer personally designs the solution, reviews and modifies the code, compiles it, fully tests it in MetaTrader/Strategy Tester and takes responsibility for the final result?

Or does Rule VII.8 prohibit delivery of any source code that contains code originally generated or suggested by an external AI service?

I am asking specifically about Freelance, not Market.

 

Good question.

I will try to have someone from MetaQuotes answering it.

To the extent that the agentic AI Assistant is built into MT5, one could argue that the "Assistant" is not a third-party─rather, it is a factory component of MT5.

Of course, the case for the built-in Assistant gets even stronger when "MQL5 Lite" is used in lieu of other LLM's. Even though MQL5 Lite traces back to DeepSeek, the "MQL5" brand stamped on it makes it native.

Any counterargument alleging that a simple LLM is not substantially different from MT5's agentic AI Assistant is strained at best.

 

it means not using other people's products,
