The Simplest Way to Build an MT5 Expert Advisor

AlgoStudio lets you turn a trading idea into a working MetaTrader 5 bot — without writing a single line of code. Pick a template, adjust a few settings, export clean MQL5.

Why traders choose AlgoStudio

Most EA builders give you a blank canvas with hundreds of blocks and wires. You spend hours figuring out logic flows — before you even test your idea. AlgoStudio takes the opposite approach.

Fast

Export your first EA in under 5 minutes. No learning curve, no tutorials needed. Pick a template and go.

Simple

3-5 settings per strategy. No 50-field forms, no block programming, no drag-and-drop wiring. Only the controls that matter.

Clean output

Readable, well-commented MQL5 source code. Load it in MetaTrader 5, backtest it, edit it. The code is yours.

5 strategy templates, ready to export

Each template produces a fully functional Expert Advisor with ATR-based stop loss, risk-reward take profit, and proper position sizing — all pre-configured.

Trend Following

EMA Crossover

Enter when fast EMA crosses slow EMA. Set your EMA periods, risk %, and ATR stop loss.

Mean Reversion

RSI Reversal

Buy oversold, sell overbought. Set RSI period, OB/OS levels, and risk %.

Breakout

Range Breakout

Trade the breakout of a recent price range. Set the lookback period, risk %, and ATR stop loss.

Trend Following

Trend Pullback

Wait for a pullback in a trending market. Uses EMA for trend + RSI for entry timing.

Momentum

MACD Crossover

Enter on MACD signal line crossover. Configurable fast/slow EMA and signal periods.

Built for traders, not developers

AlgoStudio is designed for people who trade — and want to automate their strategies without learning to code.

Forex traders

You have a strategy that works manually. Now you want to automate it and backtest it properly in MT5.

Algo-curious beginners

You've heard about algorithmic trading but don't know MQL5. AlgoStudio removes the coding barrier entirely.

Strategy testers

You want to quickly test variations of a strategy. Export, backtest, adjust, repeat — in minutes, not days.

Experienced traders

You know what you want but don't want to spend hours in MetaEditor. Get a working EA fast, then customize the code.

How AlgoStudio compares

AlgoStudio isn't trying to be the most powerful EA builder. It's trying to be the simplest one that still produces real, working Expert Advisors.
