Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about EA Strategy Builder, from getting started to advanced features and technical support.

Getting Started

Do I need programming knowledge to use EA Strategy Builder?

No! EA Strategy Builder is designed for traders of all skill levels. Our visual builder lets you create strategies by dragging and dropping indicators and setting conditions—no coding required. The platform automatically generates professional MQL4/MQL5 code for you.

How long does it take to build my first EA?

Most users create their first Expert Advisor within 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on strategy complexity. The visual interface makes it easy to define entry/exit conditions, and you can backtest immediately to see results.

What do I need to get started?

You need: (1) An EA Strategy Builder account, (2) A MetaTrader 4 or 5 platform installed, (3) Historical data for backtesting (usually provided by your broker), and (4) A basic understanding of your trading strategy logic.

Features

What indicators are supported?

We support 50+ technical indicators including Moving Averages, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, ATR, ADX, Ichimoku, Parabolic SAR, Fractals, and many more. You can also combine multiple indicators with AND/OR logic.

Can I test my strategy before deploying it?

Absolutely! Our high-performance C++ backtesting engine lets you test strategies against years of historical data in seconds. You'll get detailed metrics including win rate, profit factor, drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and a complete trade log.

Can I trade multiple currency pairs with one EA?

Yes! You can design strategies that work across multiple symbols and timeframes. Our backtesting engine supports multi-symbol testing, so you can validate your strategy on different pairs before deployment.

Does it support multi-timeframe analysis?

Yes! You can create strategies that analyze multiple timeframes simultaneously. For example, you could use the daily chart for trend direction and the 1-hour chart for entry timing.

Pricing

What pricing plans are available?

We offer flexible pricing tiers: Starter (basic features, limited backtests), Professional (unlimited backtests, advanced indicators, priority support), and Enterprise (custom solutions, dedicated support, API access).

Is there a free trial?

Yes! We offer a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required. You can build, backtest, and export EAs during the trial period.

What is your refund policy?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with EA Strategy Builder for any reason, contact us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.

Technical

What's the difference between MT4 and MT5?

MT5 is the newer platform with more features: 38 built-in indicators (vs 30 in MT4), faster backtesting, more order types, and better programming capabilities. However, MT4 is still widely used and supported. EA Strategy Builder generates code for both platforms.

How accurate is the backtesting?

Our backtesting engine uses tick-by-tick data when available and models realistic spread, slippage, and commission. While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, our engine provides highly accurate historical simulations to help you evaluate strategy viability.

Can I modify the generated MQL code?

Yes! The generated code is clean, well-commented, and follows best practices. You can modify it in the MetaEditor if you have programming knowledge. However, most users find the visual builder sufficient for their needs.

Does the EA work with all brokers?

Yes! The generated EAs are standard MQL4/MQL5 code that works with any broker offering MetaTrader platforms. However, results may vary slightly between brokers due to differences in spreads, execution speed, and data feeds.

How do I install the EA on MetaTrader?

After generating your EA: (1) Download the .mq4 or .mq5 file, (2) Copy it to your MetaTrader's "Experts" folder, (3) Restart MetaTrader or refresh the Navigator panel, (4) Drag the EA onto your chart.

Strategy Development

Can I create complex strategies with multiple conditions?

Absolutely! You can combine unlimited entry conditions, filters, and exit rules using AND/OR logic. Create sophisticated strategies with multiple indicator confirmations, time filters, and risk management rules.

How do I implement proper risk management?

EA Strategy Builder includes built-in risk management tools: position sizing based on account percentage, fixed lot sizes, stop-loss and take-profit levels, trailing stops, and maximum daily loss limits.

Can I save and reuse strategy templates?

Yes! Save your strategies and reuse them as templates. You can also duplicate existing strategies and modify them, making it easy to test variations and optimize your approach.

Support

What kind of support do you offer?

We provide email support for all users, with priority support for Professional and Enterprise plans. We also offer comprehensive documentation, video tutorials, and a community forum.

Do you offer custom strategy development?
