Getting Started
You can use the free Strategy Builder demo without creating an account. Design strategies visually, then when you are ready to generate MQL5 code and save strategies, sign up for an account.
The MQL5 & EA Academy has step-by-step articles: from environment setup and your first EA to risk management, backtesting in the Strategy Tester, VPS deployment, and common errors. You can also use the no-code Strategy Builder and export MQL5 without programming.
The public Strategy Builder demo is for trying the workflow without signup. A full account is required to save strategies in your workspace, manage strategy history, and use paid features such as MQL5 generation/export based on your plan. You can start in demo and upgrade later when you need full workflow access.
Strategy Builder and How It Works
The AlfaTactix Strategy Builder is a no-code tool that lets you define rule-based trading strategies step by step. You specify the strategy name and purpose, select different timeframes for trend, confirmation and entry signals, define indicators and entry/exit conditions, add market filters and finally configure risk management rules. All of this is done without writing a single line of code.
Yes. The Strategy Builder allows you to define completely independent entry and exit rules for Long and Short trades. These rules can share indicators or be completely different from each other.
It depends on your plan. The Starter plan supports up to 3 timeframes per strategy; the MetaTrader, TradingView and Dual Export plans support 1 timeframe per strategy. See the Pricing page for plan details.
The Strategy Builder is not just a simple form; behind the scenes there is a validation system that checks the completeness and consistency of settings at each step. If a condition is missing a comparison side (left/right) or data types are incompatible, a specific error is shown. If the bracket structure or AND/OR combination is incomplete, you cannot proceed to the next step. If the combination of timeframes or filters conflicts with the strategy logic, clear warnings are displayed. This mechanism ensures your strategy is structurally valid before reaching the code generation stage.
Code Generator: MQL5 and Pine Script
The Code Generator reads your structured strategy definition and converts it into executable trading code. The output is clean and modular (configuration, indicator calculations, entry/exit logic and risk management are separated) so you can easily work with it in research and execution environments.
Not from one strategy. MQL5 (MetaTrader 5) and Pine Script v6 (TradingView) each have their own Strategy Builder form: you pick the platform when you start a strategy, and it generates code for that platform only. To run the same idea on both, build it in each form. The Dual Export plan includes both forms.
It depends on the output language and the permissions of each subscription plan. For some languages and plans, the generated code is automatically editable. For others, you need to request access to the source code. See the Pricing page and Documentation for exact details.
Yes. Generated EAs are intended for standard MetaTrader 5 workflow: compile in MetaEditor, validate with Strategy Tester, then attach to charts on demo or live accounts. As with any automated strategy, start on a demo account first and verify behavior before going live.
Source-code access and export format can depend on your plan and current offer details. AlfaTactix highlights current availability on the Pricing page. If you need editable source for your workflow, check your plan details before purchase.
Pricing and Plans
The Starter plan lets you try the Strategy Builder. After your first signup and email verification you also get a 1-week Dual Export trial with up to 2 strategies. For ongoing code export, choose a paid plan (MetaTrader, TradingView or Dual Export). See the Pricing page for details.
MetaTrader generates MQL5 Expert Advisors for MetaTrader 5 (10 per month). TradingView generates Pine Script v6 strategies for TradingView (10 per month). Dual Export includes both engines with a shared pool of 20 strategies per month; you choose the builder form (MetaTrader 5 or TradingView) for each strategy. All three include Tactix Studio, the market’s most-used indicators, market filters and risk tools. Compare plans on the Pricing page.
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Changes take effect from the next billing cycle.
Yes. Annual payments typically include discounts. See the Pricing page for details.
MQL5 code generation and Expert Advisor export are included in the MetaTrader and Dual Export plans. The Starter plan is designed for guided trial use of the Strategy Builder. For current limits and monthly export allowances, see the Pricing page.
Account and Security
No. AlfaTactix never asks for your MetaTrader 5 login credentials or broker API keys. Only your account profile and the strategies you create are stored.
Accounts are protected with HTTPS/TLS, strong password rules, bcrypt password hashing and signed JWT access tokens. The backend includes HTTP security headers, HSTS, CSRF protection, input validation and rate limiting.
Yes. You can delete your strategies at any time.
Features and Limitations
The Strategy Builder supports the market’s most-used indicators: RSI, MACD, Stochastic, CCI, Williams %R, Momentum, moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA), Bollinger Bands, ATR, Volume and OBV. Each works in both the MetaTrader 5 (MQL5) form and the TradingView (Pine Script) form. The AlfaTactix Academy covers 80+ indicators in depth, including some the builder does not generate yet. Indicator access varies by plan.
No. You cannot copy your strategies or create new versions from them. However, you can edit existing strategies. On the MetaTrader, TradingView and Dual Export plans, editing is limited to parameters only and you cannot change the overall strategy structure.
Yes. Limits vary by your plan. See the Pricing page for details.
Partly. Strategies are saved in your AlfaTactix account in the cloud; there is no offline app. On Step 6 you can download the Strategy JSON as a portable backup (this also works in the public demo), and you can download the generated MQL5 or Pine Script code and keep it locally.
