Hello 1) I have seen some websites selling top ranked MQL5 EAs for 30USD and I heard from some people they work perfect. 2) I have been told that given mql5 market EA can work during backtest without purchase they can formulate a dummy MT5 where the EA thinks it is in testing mode but it is actually
