How every release is tested
- MQL5 validationRun before upload on the same set of symbols and timeframes as the Market's own check, including a small account: no errors, and trades where the strategy allows.
- Non-repaintingSignals come only from closed bars. Every-tick and 1-minute tests must produce the same signals, bar for bar.
- Checked against a second calculationEvery indicator value is compared bar by bar with an independent Python calculation of the same formula before release.
- Real broker historyBacktests use RoboForex history with its spreads, swaps and server clock, and every page states the weak years as well as the good ones.
The broker behind that history, and the one I trade with myself, is RoboForex. Affiliate link: if you open an account through it, I earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Pick a broker that is regulated where you live; this is not financial advice.
Keep MetaTrader running 24/7
Expert Advisors, the trailing stops they manage and every alert work only while the MetaTrader terminal is running. A forex VPS is a small Windows server, usually close to your broker's servers, that keeps the terminal on when your own computer is off.
One option is FXVM, a VPS made for MetaTrader. Affiliate link: if you sign up through it, I earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Check the plan, location and price against your broker before you buy.
Your broker may include one: RoboForex offers a free VPS to clients who meet its conditions (affiliate link, same terms as above). Read the conditions on its page first.

Questions
Which of these products are free?

Gold Breakout Sentinel Pro, Gold Trend Sentinel PRO, UT Bot Scanner MT5, Candlestick Scanner MT5, Divergence Scanner MT5, EA Health Monitor Pro, Gann Toolkit MT5, Harmonic Scanner MT5, Prop Rules Guard MT5 and Half Trend ADX are paid. Each Free and Pro pair uses the same strategy and default settings.
Do the indicators repaint?
No. Signals and alerts come from closed bars only, so an arrow never appears and then disappears. Each indicator is compared bar by bar with an independent calculation and checked in the Strategy Tester for repainting.
Where do I download them?
From the MQL5 Market, the official MetaTrader store: open the product's MQL5 link on this page, or search its name in the Market tab of MetaTrader. Purchases and updates are handled by MQL5.
Do the Expert Advisors guarantee a profit?
No. The backtests shown describe the past on real broker history, including the bad years, and they do not predict the future. Trading with leverage carries a high risk of losing money.
Do I need a VPS?
Only for the Expert Advisors and anything you want running while your computer is off: EAs, trailing stops and alerts need the MetaTrader terminal to be on. A forex VPS keeps it running 24/7. See Keep MetaTrader running 24/7.
