Download the free Backtest Edition

Every strategy we sell has a free Backtest Edition: the same strategy code, compiled to run inside the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester on whatever data your broker gives you. No email, no card, no form.

What it is

  • The same strategy code as the licensed build, with its tested preset files, packaged in the same zip.
  • A file that runs only in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, on any account the terminal is connected to, with no expiry.
  • A way to test a strategy on your own broker’s prices, spread and dates before you decide anything.

What it is not

  • It does not start on a chart, on a demo account or a live one, so it never places a real-time order.
  • It is not a time-limited trial, and it needs no licence key and no sign-up.
  • It is not account-locked. The licensed build is: it is compiled for the MT5 account numbers you give at checkout.

Every strategy, one download each

One download per strategy. Each links to its strategy page and to its public Strategy Tester report, so you can compare your run with ours.

Install it in four steps

  1. Download the zip for the strategy you want and unzip it.
  2. In MetaTrader 5, choose File → Open data folder. Copy the .ex5 into MQL5/Experts and the .set files into MQL5/Presets, or run the included install.ps1, which does the same.
  3. Restart MetaTrader 5, so the Expert Advisor appears under Navigator → Expert Advisors.
  4. Open the Strategy Tester, pick the Expert Advisor and XAUUSD, load the preset from the Inputs tab and start the test.
