No-code EA builder for MetaTrader 5

Build an MT5 Expert Advisor without code

What is the AlfaTactix MT5 EA builder?

AlfaTactix is a no-code EA builder for MetaTrader 5. You set your trading rules in a 7-step form, with up to 3 timeframes, 47 indicator types and up to 8 filters per strategy. A fixed generator with no AI model inside then writes one readable MQL5 Expert Advisor, with every indicator written out. Free costs €0 with no card; paid plans cost €19, €39 or €79 a month.

The demo needs no signup. To save a strategy, download its code or backtest it, create a free account.

What you build

Your rules in 7 steps, then one .mq5 file

One set of rules, built for MQL5 or Pine Script v6: you pick the platform in Step 1. Choose MetaTrader 5, and the builder offers only what MetaTrader 5 supports.

  1. Information and platform

    Name, description and the platform: MetaTrader 5 or TradingView.

  2. Timeframes

    One trading timeframe and up to two higher ones: up to 3 per strategy.

  3. Entry rules

    47 indicator types, separate buy and sell rules, combined with AND / OR.

  4. Filters

    Up to 8 filters: sessions, time ranges, spread, correlation and your own conditions.

  5. Exits

    Stop loss, take profit, trailing stop, breakeven, partial closes and time exits.

  6. Risk and money management

    Position size and account protection: daily loss, drawdown and losing streaks.

  7. Review and save

    The whole strategy in plain sentences, a check list and what Studio assumed. Then you save it.

Then you get the Expert Advisor

Save the strategy, open Code Generator and download the .mq5 file. Put it in the MQL5/Experts folder of MetaTrader 5, compile it once in MetaEditor, then run it in the Strategy Tester or on a chart.

Rather describe it in your own words?

Tactix Studio, in the paid plans, fills the same form from your description. It never writes code: you see every change and save the strategy yourself, and the Expert Advisor comes from the same generator as a strategy you build by hand.

How Tactix Studio works

Watch: build a trading strategy with no code

A 4-minute walkthrough: Tactix Studio, the 7-step form, a backtest with the built-in sample run and the code for MetaTrader 5 (MQL5) or TradingView (Pine Script v6).

Narration: a synthetic version of the founder's voice

Trading involves substantial risk of loss. AlfaTactix generates code from the rules you define and does not provide financial advice. Past or backtested performance does not guarantee future results.

Tactix Studio is part of the paid plans; the form works on every plan.

Try it on the Free plan, no card: build one strategy, backtest it on your own data (3 runs a day) and download its MQL5 or Pine Script code.

Proof you can check

The code, the compile and the backtest

Before you sign up, look at what the generator writes and how we test it.

Plain MQL5 you can read

The generated code uses no platform indicator built-ins: every indicator is written out in the file you download. The same strategy document and the same generator release always give the same file, byte for byte.

    Compiles in MetaEditor

    All 29 golden Expert Advisors compile in MetaEditor with 0 errors and 0 warnings. Every generated file names the generator version in its header.

    How we test the compile

  • 29 / 31

    Backtest on your own data

    Every signed-in user, Free included, can backtest a saved strategy on data they upload. The backtest runs the same strategy document the code is generated from. On 31 golden test strategies, the engine and the MetaTrader 5 tester give the same signals on 29; the other 2 are strategies MetaTrader cannot run. The comparison runs on identical bars in a MetaTrader 5 custom symbol; trades are equal or differ only by a named cause, and commission and slippage on MetaTrader 5 are not proven.

    A backtest is not a forecast; past results do not predict future results.

    How the backtest engine works

Honest limits

What the MT5 EA builder does not do

  • It does not support MetaTrader 4: it generates MQL5 for MetaTrader 5 and Pine Script v6 for TradingView.
  • A strategy is built for one platform at a time, chosen in Step 1.
  • It gives you source code: you compile the .mq5 file once in MetaEditor.
  • It does not place trades. You attach the Expert Advisor to a chart in MetaTrader 5 yourself.
  • It builds no grid of orders and no martingale sizing.
  • It has no news filters yet.
  • Backtests run on data you upload, on any timeframe down to one minute; how many days one run covers depends on your plan (Pricing).
  • It makes no promise about results, and it was not tested with real money: only the MetaTrader 5 tester and TradingView backtests were run.

Questions about the MT5 EA builder

Can I build an MT5 Expert Advisor without coding?

Yes. In AlfaTactix you set the entry rules, filters, exits and risk in a 7-step form, and a fixed generator writes the MQL5 Expert Advisor from them. You do not write code, but you can read every line of it. You compile the .mq5 file once in MetaEditor, then run it in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester or on a chart.

Is the AlfaTactix EA builder free?

Yes, there is a Free plan: it costs €0, has no end date and needs no card. It includes 1 saved strategy, 1 code download a month and 3 backtests a day, up to 30 days each. Paid plans cost €19, €39 or €79 a month and add more strategies, downloads, builder options and Tactix Studio.

Does the generated Expert Advisor compile in MetaEditor?

Yes, and we test it: all 29 golden Expert Advisors compile in MetaEditor with 0 errors and 0 warnings. Every indicator is written out in the file instead of calling MetaTrader's built-ins, so you can read what the Expert Advisor does. The file header names the generator version.

Does the EA builder work with MetaTrader 4?

No. AlfaTactix generates MQL5 for MetaTrader 5 and Pine Script v6 for TradingView; MetaTrader 4 is not supported. Each strategy is built for one platform, chosen in Step 1, so a strategy built for MetaTrader 5 gives an MQL5 Expert Advisor.

Can an AI build the Expert Advisor for me?

Tactix Studio, in the paid plans, fills the builder form from your description, but it never writes code. You see every change, check it and save the strategy yourself. The Expert Advisor then comes from the same fixed generator as a strategy you build by hand. The public demo plays a recorded example of Studio.

Can I backtest the strategy before I run it in MetaTrader 5?

Yes. Every signed-in user, Free included, can backtest a saved strategy on data they upload, and the backtest runs the same strategy document the code is generated from. A backtest is not a forecast; past results do not predict future results. Then check the Expert Advisor in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester.
