Hire Your MQL5 Developer

Why Hire a Dedicated MQL5 Developer?

MetaTrader 5 is a vastly more capable platform than MT4 — multi-asset support, netting and hedging modes, a proper event-driven architecture via OnTradeTransaction, and a strategy tester with real tick modelling. But unlocking that power demands deep MQL5 knowledge.

What a Pro MQL5 Dev Delivers

  • CTrade execution with correct filling policies (SYMBOL_FILLING_IOC / RETURN)
  • Netting + hedging aware position management that matches your broker account type
  • Portfolio-level risk — not per-symbol, but across all open positions
  • Walk-forwardable strategy tester templates with optimisation guardrails
  • Clean code you can maintain, extend, or hand off

Common MQL5 Projects

  • Multi-symbol / multi-timeframe EAs
  • Custom tick-volume and price-action indicators
  • Trade copiers / signal followers
  • Prop-firm challenge passers (FTMO-style rules)
  • Market structure scanners (swing, supply/demand, order blocks)
  • Dashboard panels (spread, swaps, exposure, P&L monitors)

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire an MQL5 developer?

Pricing depends on complexity. A simple indicator starts at $150. A full-featured EA with risk management and trade manager typically ranges from $500 to $3,000. Multi-symbol portfolio EAs with licensing are quoted per project.

Can you convert my PineScript strategy to MQL5?

Yes. We specialise in PineScript to MQL5 conversion. TradingView strategies are converted to fully functional MT5 EAs with proper execution logic, and PineScript indicators are converted to buffered custom indicators.

Do you provide prop-firm-safe EAs?

Absolutely. We build daily loss locks, max drawdown cutoffs, max trades-per-day rules, and consistency score guards that align with FTMO, FundedNext, The Funded Trader, and other major prop firm rules.

How long does MQL5 development take?

A standard EA takes 5-14 business days depending on complexity. Simple indicators can be delivered in 2-4 business days. Multi-symbol or portfolio systems may require 3-4 weeks.

Do you provide the source code?

Yes. You receive full MQL5 source code unless you specifically request a compiled EX5 build. Source code comes with inline comments and a brief architecture overview.
