Mana AI–Powered Strategy Builder for MetaTrader 5
We powered the Strategy Builder with Mana AI — so you design rule-based MT5 strategies in six guided steps with an assistant beside you, then export Strategy JSON. The same Mana AI helps you learn from Academy guides. Subscribe when you need Code Generator for MQL5. Try the demo first — no signup.
We powered Strategy Builder with Mana AI
Mana AI is one assistant across AlfaTactix — not bolted on as a chatbot afterthought. In Strategy Builder it maps your words to real fields before you export JSON. On Academy pages it answers learning questions with citations from our guides. Same name, same product language.
Mana AI in Strategy Builder
Open Ask Mana on any step. Get plain-language help on timeframes, indicators, conditions, filters, and risk. Mana clarifies options, proposes fillable setups grounded in our trading knowledge, and stays locked to the step you are on — so you finish a complete strategy faster.
Mana AI while you learn
On Academy pages, ask Mana about MT5 EAs, indicators, filters, backtesting, and the no-code workflow. Answers are grounded in AlfaTactix guides with article citations. Learn the idea, then open the builder and ask Mana to put it into Steps 1–6.
What is the Strategy Builder?
A visual, six-step workspace powered by Mana AI. You define MT5 entry rules, market filters, and risk — then review and save structured Strategy JSON. Mana guides you inside the builder and on Academy pages when you are learning from AlfaTactix guides. MQL5 is generated separately in Code Generator (not inside Step 6). Start in the browser demo; sign up when you want cloud saves and the generator.
Six steps from idea to MetaTrader 5 EA
Steps 1–6 run inside the Mana AI–powered Strategy Builder. Step 6 outputs JSON — not MQL5. Code generation is a separate product step after you choose a plan.
Define strategy
Name and description — so every version stays clear and auditable.
Timeframes
Stack higher-to-lower timeframe layers without mixing logic.
Signals
66 indicators, rich conditions, separate buy and sell rules.
Market filters
25 filters: sessions, volatility, structure, news, and more.

Preview & JSON
Review the full strategy summary and download or save the configuration as JSON.
After the builder: JSON, plan, then Code Generator
AlfaTactix splits design from code on purpose so your strategy stays readable as data before any syntax is generated.
- Strategy Builder (Step 6) — preview your rules and download or save a Strategy JSON file.
- Pricing — pick the plan that includes Code Generator for your target platform (MetaTrader 5 Basic for MQL5 today).
- Code Generator — sign in, open your saved strategy, and generate executable code in the language your subscription supports.
Visual Strategy Builder — powered by Mana AI
The Strategy Builder turns trading ideas into structured, rule-based strategies — and Mana AI sits inside that workflow. You name the strategy, stack timeframes, then configure separate buy and sell rules with indicators, conditions and logical operators. Add market filters and risk, review everything, and save JSON. Currently we generate production-ready MQL5 in Code Generator for MetaTrader 5; the same visual design can support other platforms in the future. Real-time validation prevents incomplete expressions so your Expert Advisor behaves as designed.
Multi‑timeframe logic
Combine higher‑timeframe context with mid and lower‑timeframe entries in a single MetaTrader 5 strategy. Timeframes can be configured independently for indicators, filters and some risk tools for precise control.
Separate buy and sell rules
Build independent long and short entry logic, with conditions that can share indicators or use completely different setups. Ideal for asymmetric strategies in your MetaTrader 5 EA — and Mana can help you phrase each side clearly.
Structured JSON for automation
Every strategy is stored in a consistent JSON structure optimised for MQL5 code generation and long‑term maintainability. Audit, version, and regenerate Expert Advisors reliably from the same definition Mana helped you complete.
Inside the builder workflow
Indicators, filters, and risk are steps 3–5 inside the Mana-powered builder. Step 6 is preview and JSON only — MQL5 is produced later in Code Generator.
Technical Indicators and Trading Conditions
AlfaTactix includes 66 technical indicators for MetaTrader 5 across momentum, trend, price action, volume and volatility — from RSI, MACD and Stochastic to ADX, Ichimoku, Supertrend, VWAP, Donchian, candlestick patterns and more. Each indicator supports configurable parameters so you can tune the signal to your style. A rich condition library (crossovers, thresholds, slope, patterns, divergence and more) combines with AND / OR and brackets — no MQL5 required. Ask Mana if you are unsure which tool fits your idea.
Indicator parameters and signal quality
Tune lookbacks, sources and optional smoothing so you can reduce noise while keeping important price action. Design cleaner MetaTrader 5 signals for trend‑following, mean reversion or breakout systems.
Rich condition library for EA logic
Conditions cover comparisons, crossovers, transitions, expansion and contraction, patterns and more. Combine multiple conditions with AND / OR and bracket groups to build advanced rule‑based strategies for MetaTrader 5.
Market Filters for Cleaner Trade Selection
Twenty-five market filters let you gate entries by volatility, session and time windows, market structure and regime, support and resistance, liquidity, news and sentiment, and fundamental metrics. Your MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor can stay out of thin or unsuitable markets — and Mana can explain which filter matches the rule you have in mind.
Volatility and structure
Use ATR, Bollinger, volatility regime, market phase, market structure, Fibonacci and related filters to restrict entries to conditions that fit your strategy’s risk profile on MetaTrader 5.
Session and time‑of‑day filters
Trade only during specific market sessions or time ranges — for example London and New York overlap — to align your MetaTrader 5 EA with preferred hours and higher-liquidity windows.
Liquidity, news and fundamentals
Liquidity filters, economic calendar and news sentiment tools, plus fundamental gates (such as market cap or valuation metrics where relevant), help your EA avoid fragile execution conditions.
Advanced Risk Management for MetaTrader 5 EAs
A dedicated risk step covers position sizing, stop loss, take profit, trailing stops, partial take profit, smart exit conditions and account protection for long and short trades. Multiple stop and sizing methods (percentage, fixed, ATR, structure, Kelly and more) keep entry logic separate from risk while staying in one MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor. Mana can walk you through the options on this step.
Position sizing methods
Choose fixed size, percentage of account, ATR‑based, Kelly‑based, risk-based and volatility-adjusted sizing. These convert to appropriate lot sizes in MQL5 so your EA controls risk per trade automatically.
Stop loss, take profit and account protection
Layer classic stops, trailing logic, partial exits and account‑level guards (daily drawdown, max trades, open positions, consecutive losses). Protect capital while still riding strong MetaTrader 5 trends.
One‑Click MQL5 Code Generator for MetaTrader 5
After designing your strategy visually with Mana, generate MQL5 source for a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor from your saved JSON. The generator separates configuration, indicator logic, entry conditions and risk management into clean modules you can compile in MetaTrader 5, run in the Strategy Tester or attach to live charts — and still extend manually if needed.
Take the no-code path from Mana-assisted design to MQL5: use the public Strategy Builder demo, or follow the Academy walkthrough for building an MT5 EA without hand-written code.
Platform, Accounts and Security
AlfaTactix focuses on being a secure, production‑ready strategy builder for algorithmic traders. Accounts are protected with HTTPS/TLS in production, strong password rules, bcrypt password hashing and signed JWT access tokens. The platform never asks for your MetaTrader 5 login or broker API keys – only your account profile and strategies are stored. Backend middleware adds HTTP security headers, HSTS, CSRF protection, input validation and rate limiting, while audit logging helps monitor suspicious activity without storing raw request bodies.
Choose the Right Plan for Your MetaTrader 5 Workflow

What is Mana AI?
Mana AI is AlfaTactix’s assistant. In Strategy Builder it helps you fill each step in plain language and maps ideas to real indicators, filters, and risk. On Academy pages it answers learning questions with citations from our guides. One name for build and learn.
Where can I use Mana AI?
Inside Strategy Builder (Ask Mana on any step) and on Academy pages when you are reading guides. Both surfaces share the Mana AI brand and the same product vocabulary.
Do I need to write MQL5 to use the Strategy Builder?
No. Design rules visually — with Mana AI guidance — in the demo with no signup. Step 6 gives you JSON. After you choose a plan and subscribe, open Code Generator to produce MQL5.
Is the public demo the full Strategy Builder?
Yes — you can model multi-timeframe logic, conditions, filters, and risk in the live demo, with Mana available to guide the steps. You can download JSON from Step 6. Cloud save and MQL5 generation require an account and a plan with Code Generator access.
How is this different from coding in MetaEditor?
The builder stores your logic as structured data, validates each step, and — with Mana — helps you complete rules before export. Code Generator then produces modular MQL5. You can still edit the exported file in MetaEditor if needed.
What platforms does export support today?
Today, production Code Generator output is MQL5 for MetaTrader 5 (MT5 Basic plan). The same JSON from the builder is built to support additional target languages over time.
Build with Mana AI in the live Strategy Builder
Demo first (no signup). Ask Mana while you design. When ready: save JSON, choose a plan, generate MQL5 in Code Generator.
