MT5 EA Strategy Library
18+ tutorials you can open in the Builder — most no-code, a few with a manual MQL5 step.
Pick a strategy below, read the step-by-step guide, or jump straight into AlfaTactix Strategy Builder — optionally draft with Tactix Studio or ask Tactix Guide ([Tactix AI](/tactix-ai)) — and export MQL5 for MetaTrader 5.
What is this library?
A public index of MT5 Expert Advisor tutorials. Most build fully no-code; a few cover indicators the Strategy Builder does not support yet and give you the manual MQL5 path instead. Each card links to a full tutorial and the live Strategy Builder demo.

FAQ
What is the MT5 EA Strategy Library?
It is a directory of 18+ Expert Advisor tutorials for MetaTrader 5. Most build fully no-code in AlfaTactix Strategy Builder and export MQL5 without writing code by hand. A few (SuperTrend, ADX, Parabolic SAR, Ichimoku, Donchian, the news filter) cover indicators or filters the Strategy Builder does not support yet — those tutorials give you the manual MQL5 path plus the closest no-code alternative instead.
Do I need to know MQL5 to use these strategies?
Not for the strategies built from the 13 supported indicators and the four real market filters (session, time range, ATR volatility, liquidity): open the Strategy Builder demo, follow the playbook, save, and export MQL5 from the Code Generator. The handful of tutorials covering unsupported indicators (see the previous answer) require some hand-written MQL5 for the exact indicator, though each links to a no-code alternative you can build today.
How is this different from the full MQL5 EA Academy?
This page lists ready-to-build strategy playbooks only. The full MQL5 EA Academy includes setup, coding reference, backtesting, deployment, and 48 total guides.
Can I backtest these EAs in MetaTrader 5?
Yes. Exported MQL5 runs in the MT5 Strategy Tester like any EA. Each playbook links to the backtest guide.
Can't find your strategy?
Design any rule-based system from scratch in the six-step Builder — then backtest in MT5.
