🏆 Top EAs by purpose
The "best" EA depends on what you optimise for. We split the entry points across four axes: overall, low drawdown, high return, and robustness.
⚖️ Compare EAs
A comparison table that always keeps maximum drawdown near the top. Line up to four EAs side by side and choose by what you can withstand, not by win rate.

PF = gross profit ÷ gross loss (1.3+ is a good guide) · Max DD = the largest temporary drop in equity (under 20% is a good guide). See the glossary (Glossary)

🔥 Aggressive EAs (blowup-accepted, compounding) — a different thing from defensive types
⚠⚠ Read first — these EAs can blow up
- Use only spare capital you can afford to lose, in a separate account. Withdraw profits frequently.
- These are past live results and do NOT guarantee future profit. Results change as the market changes.

📊 How We Verify EAs — Pre-Publication Process
Every EA on this site passes a 3-stage verification process. We never publish based on "it worked in backtest" alone.
5–10 year real-tick backtest
Strategy Tester runs on 100% real ticks from Dukascopy (custom symbols) plus live broker feeds, minimum 5 years and 10 preferred. Every-tick model with real spreads.
OOS robustness check (Train/Test split)
Optimize on the Train window, evaluate on an untouched Test window. Then break profit down year by year and walk it forward across multiple windows, so profit that depends on one single year is excluded. Overfit EAs are not published.
Source code disclosed (transparency)
Every EA ships with its .mq5 source so you can audit the logic. No black boxes. Unverified EAs stay `hidden: true`.
Standard Features — Built Into Every EA
Premium features rivaling paid EAs — standard in every release, at no extra cost.
Real-Time Chart Dashboard
Displays balance, margin level, today/week/month P/L, current DD, and spread directly on the chart — account status at a glance.
Win/Loss Streak Counter
Tracks current losing streak and all-time max win streak in real time, alongside win rate, trade count, avg hold time, and balance sparkline.
MT5 Mobile Push Notifications
Instant alerts for entries, exits, margin warnings, and daily summaries sent to your phone. Discord/Slack webhook also supported.
Economic News Filter
Automatically pauses new entries before/after high-impact events (NFP, FOMC, CPI). Sends advance warning notifications N minutes before events.
Grouped Detail Parameters
20+ settings organized into 8 groups: entry, lot sizing, hours, spread limits, filters, risk management, dashboard, and notifications. Sensible defaults for beginners, deep customization for advanced users.
Emergency Safety Guard (FXGuard)
Force-closes all positions the moment margin level drops below the threshold. Last line of defense against account blowup, combined with spread filter and max DD limit.
Full Trade History CSV Export
Auto-logs every trade to CSV in real time (time, symbol, direction, lot, price, P/L, balance). Ready for Excel or Python analysis.
Chart Pause Button
One click on the chart button instantly pauses or resumes new entries — without removing the EA from the chart.
🎯 Find your EA
Answer three questions — capital, risk tolerance, market — and we narrow the verified EAs down to the ones that fit.
Q1. How much capital can you allocate?
Shows only EAs that can be run with that amount or less.
Q2. How much risk can you accept?
Classified by measured maximum drawdown (DD).
Q3. Which market do you want to trade?
Classified by the instrument the EA trades.

We Real-Tick Tested 800+ Market EAs — How Many Survived?
We downloaded 800+ of the most popular MQL5 Market EAs and backtested every one on real ticks. After screening the 69 survivors by build date and live track record, the number left was surprising. Here is why demo backtest figures can't be trusted.

What an EA's average holding time reveals
An EA's average holding time, and its distribution, can tell you a fair amount about whether it's a scalping or swing strategy — and where its vulnerabilities lie. Here we walk through where to look in an MT5 report, the verification steps, and the pitfalls that are easy to misread, backed by real measured data.

How Far Does an EA's Performance Fall When Spreads Double
How much an EA's performance erodes when spreads widen depends heavily on the strategy type. Here's how to estimate the degradation from average profit per trade and trade count, plus a step-by-step stress test you can run in MT5.
Common Issues & Solutions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really free to use?
Yes. Open (or add) an MT5 account at HFM, XM or Exness through our referral link, then register that account number on the EA page. You can download immediately after registering. No deposit and no trading required.
Can I use it with my existing account?
Both XM and Exness allow creating additional (sub) accounts. Just add one new MT5 account and you're good to go.
Is the EA source code available?
Yes, the full source code is publicly available in .mq5 format. Great for those who want to learn how EAs work or customize them.
Do I need a VPS (Virtual Private Server)?
A VPS is recommended for stable 24-hour operation, but not required. If you can keep your PC running at all times, it works fine from home.
Why don't you advertise figures like "X% monthly returns"?
Monthly returns swing wildly with market conditions, and quoting a single figure would be misleading. We publish only what long-term real-tick backtests actually measured: profit factor, equity drawdown, trade count, and year-by-year results. Every figure is on the EA detail pages and the ranking page.
How much starting capital do I need?
We recommend at least $1,000 USD equivalent, but with XMTrading's 0.01 minimum lot you can run it semi-demo from around $300. We suggest starting small.
Do I need to keep a PC running 24/7?
For stable operation we recommend a VPS, which typically costs $10–25/month. Some partner brokers also offer free VPS if you meet their conditions.
Can I run several EAs at once?
Yes. Diversifying across symbols and strategies can reduce risk — but keep a close eye on your account's margin level.
Will I reproduce the backtest results exactly?
Small differences arise from historical data quality, broker spread, and execution speed. A 100% identical reproduction is unrealistic, but with our recommended brokers you can expect close results.
If I lose money, will I be compensated?
No. There is no compensation scheme. Forex trading carries the risk of losing your principal — only trade with funds you can afford to lose, and entirely at your own risk.
Summary: Take the Next Step
Take that one last step — today.
Trying out our EAs costs you nothing. If it isn't for you, just delete it. You have nothing to lose.
But for the version of you that one day thinks, "I wish I'd started sooner," let ten years of data prove themselves on your own account first.
* Forex trading carries the risk of losing your principal. Only invest funds you can afford to lose, and trade entirely at your own discretion and risk.
