From trading idea to working EA in 3 steps

No coding. No complex configuration. AlgoStudio turns your strategy into a real MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor in under 5 minutes.

1

Choose a strategy template

AlgoStudio starts you with a working strategy — not a blank canvas. Pick from 5 proven templates, each designed around a different trading approach.

EMA Crossover

Trend following with moving average crossovers

RSI Reversal

Mean reversion based on RSI overbought/oversold

Range Breakout

Breakout trading of price ranges

Trend Pullback

Enter on pullbacks in trending markets

MACD Crossover

Momentum-based entries on MACD signals

Every template includes sensible defaults for all parameters. You can export immediately or customize first — explore all templates.

2

Adjust a few settings

Each template has 3-5 basic settings. Set your risk percentage, stop loss multiplier, and take profit ratio. That's usually all you need to change.

Typical settings

Risk per trade1-2% of account balance
Stop lossATR multiplier (e.g. 1.5x ATR)
Take profitRisk-reward ratio (e.g. 2:1)
Strategy parametersEMA periods, RSI levels, etc.

Want more control? Toggle advanced settings for trend filters, session timing, and trailing stops. But you never have to — the defaults work.
