Spécifications
I am looking to acquire an EXISTING and PROVEN MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor.
I am NOT looking for someone to develop a random new strategy from scratch.
The objective is to find a robust EA with an existing track record, verify its performance and robustness, and purchase the MQL5 source code together with clearly defined commercial rights.
MAIN REQUIREMENTS
The EA should meet most or all of the following requirements:
-
VERIFIED LIVE PERFORMANCE
-
Minimum 6 months of verified LIVE trading preferred.
-
12+ months is a strong advantage.
-
Real-money account strongly preferred.
-
MQL5 Signal or Myfxbook verification preferred.
-
Demo accounts and screenshots alone are not sufficient.
-
RISK MANAGEMENT
-
Every position must have a real Stop Loss.
-
No unlimited-loss strategies.
-
No hidden catastrophic recovery mechanisms.
-
Configurable fixed lot and/or percentage-risk position sizing preferred.
-
Maximum daily loss / equity protection is a strong advantage.
-
STRICTLY NO:
-
Martingale
-
Dangerous grid recovery
-
Averaging down losing positions
-
Lot multiplication after losses
-
Unlimited DCA
-
Strategies depending on one eventual recovery trade
-
Arbitrage requiring unrealistic execution conditions
Controlled multiple entries are acceptable only if they form part of the original trading strategy and are NOT used to rescue losing positions.
-
PERFORMANCE
Preferred characteristics:
-
Historical maximum drawdown below 25–30%
-
Consistent performance rather than one exceptional month
-
Reasonable number of trades
-
Preferably at least 3–5 trades per week
-
Stable equity curve
-
Positive risk-adjusted performance
-
No single trade or small group of trades responsible for most historical profit
I am more interested in ROBUSTNESS than an unrealistic backtest showing thousands of percent return.
-
STRATEGY
I am particularly interested in systems trading:
-
XAUUSD / GOLD
-
Breakout
-
Momentum
-
Trend following
-
Mean reversion
-
Session breakout
-
Volatility expansion
-
Liquidity-based strategies
-
Multi-strategy / regime-adaptive systems
Other statistically defensible strategies may also be considered.
WHAT YOU MUST PROVIDE IN YOUR APPLICATION
Please include:
-
Public link to the LIVE MQL5 Signal or Myfxbook account.
-
Exact period the EA has been trading LIVE.
-
Maximum drawdown.
-
Approximate monthly return / CAGR.
-
Number of trades.
-
Instruments and timeframes traded.
-
Broker(s) where the EA has been tested.
-
Brief explanation of the trading logic in plain English.
I do NOT need the proprietary formula at this stage.
I want to understand where the expected trading edge comes from.
-
Explain whether the strategy uses:
-
Multiple simultaneous positions
-
Hedging
-
Grid
-
Recovery logic
-
Averaging
-
News filters
-
Session filters
-
Provide representative MT5 backtests, preferably using:
-
Every tick based on real ticks
-
Variable spread where applicable
-
Commission
-
Realistic execution assumptions
-
If available, provide:
-
Out-of-sample tests
-
Walk-forward tests
-
Monte Carlo / robustness tests
-
Tests on different brokers
-
Parameter sensitivity tests
SOURCE CODE AND COMMERCIAL RIGHTS
I am specifically interested in purchasing the MQL5 SOURCE CODE.
Please clearly state what you are offering:
A) Source code for my private use
B) Source code + modification rights
C) Source code + commercial/resale rights
D) Full exclusive ownership / IP transfer
Commercial rights are strongly preferred.
If commercial rights are offered, the agreement must explicitly permit me to:
-
Modify the EA
-
Rebrand it
-
Compile it
-
Create derivative versions
-
Sell or distribute compiled versions commercially
Full exclusivity can be negotiated separately.
The EA must be your own legitimate work.
NO decompiled code.
NO stolen Market products.
NO copied source code.
NO third-party intellectual property that you do not have the right to transfer.
VERIFICATION BEFORE PURCHASE
Before final acceptance, I will independently test the EA.
The strategy should remain reasonably robust when:
-
Spread increases
-
Slippage is introduced
-
Parameters are slightly changed
-
Different historical periods are tested
-
Different brokers / symbol specifications are used
-
Out-of-sample data is tested
I am NOT interested in heavily curve-fitted strategies that only work with one exact parameter combination.
IMPORTANT
Do not apply with:
-
Backtest-only EAs claiming unrealistic returns
-
Martingale systems
-
Dangerous grids
-
Recovery systems hiding large floating losses
-
Screenshots without verifiable trading history
-
Decompiled/copied EAs
-
Guaranteed-profit claims
Serious budget is available for an exceptional, genuinely proven system.
If you have multiple proven EAs, you may submit more than one.
In your first message, please start with:
LIVE TRACK RECORD:
and provide the verification link.
Applications without performance evidence will receive lower priority.
