How to Brief a Custom Expert Advisor

Write the rules as if a stranger will code them

We build platform-specific EAs. MT4 stays on MT4. MT5 stays on MT5. Share entry, exit, stops, targets, and position size. Screenshots help. 'Make it smart' does not.

Name the series (close, HLC3), the timeframe, whether pending or market, and what happens on gap open. If two rules can fire on the same bar, say which wins.

Risk belongs in the EA

Max spread, max positions, daily loss halt, and a freeze when the broker rejects — those are code, not a sticky note. If you skip them, we will ask. Automation without a kill-switch is how small accounts vanish.

Timeline and what you receive

Simple systems ship in 3–5 days. Medium 1–2 weeks. Complex desks 2–4 weeks. Compiled EA, setup notes, recommended inputs, and 30 days of bug-fix support are standard. Source is quoted on enterprise scopes.

Price band is ₹4,000–₹14,000 for typical EAs. A full trading platform is a different product under custom trading platforms.

Demo, then small live size

We will not promise profit. Past backtests are not future results. Run the tester, then demo, then a size you can survive being wrong. If you also need a Windows VPS to keep the terminal up, say so in the same brief — it is billed separately.
