MT4 Programming

Expert Advisors

If you all ready have a successful trading strategy then why not have it converted into an Expert Advisor for the Meta Trader 4 Platform. Relax and go about your day to day business as your own personal strategy trades automatically 24 hours a day. Any basic or custom indicators can be integrated into an EA system making this a personal trading master piece. You can also add extra features to your Expert Advisor as listed below.

Custom Indicators

This is a great feature for those that just love to trade manually; special MT4 programming is used to map your trade signals, showing entry and exit levels, stop loss and profit forecasts that the trader can then enter manually into their trading platform.

Scripts

These scripts can be imbedded into your manual trading system. They can open trades at a lot size that coincides with your money management plan. It will automatically create the correct stop loss, take profit order and lot size according to your settings and rules.

Custom DLL Integrations

Any of the Expert Advisors, Custom Indicators or scripts can be connected to the outside world or server using DLL libraries. With advanced security and the transfer of data of any value the special MT4 programming makes it possible for the EA to connect to the server and set or post any data securely.

Expert Advisors on offline charts

We can build Expert Advisors that works on an offline charts. These charts are created by 3rd party applications and are usually called Renko charts or Range Bar charts.

On average we charge around 120 EUR for the EA using one custom indicator. EA using two custom indicators would cost around 180 EUR. Note that this is very approximate price and the price usually depends on the trading rules. That is why we need to get full trading rules and image(s) with example trades. Only then we can tell the final price of the EA.
There can be custom EAs where no indicators are used and the price for these can be quoted only after we get the full trading rules and image(s) with example trades. Such EAs usually cost more, but it sure depends on the requirements.

On average it takes around 2-3 business days to create EA, but when we have many requests it make take up to 1 week to create custom software. If your project is big, it may take few weeks or months to create it, so the completion time varies and depends on the project details.

NDA can be signed to protect your trading system and ideas, but even without that we never disclose any of this information to anyone. We respect client privacy.

By default we add the following settings to the EA: TakeProfitPips, StopLossPips, FixedLotSize and/or Risk_Percent (for money management), Slippage (in pips), MagicNumber.
More settings are available on demand. Below you can fine some of the features and Expert Advisor inputs that we offer.
By default we add dashboard in every EA and we usually call it the Blue Box. Read more about Blue Box

Note that we do not modify software created by other programmers except when it is an EA protection code that needs to be added.
On rare cases we can modify software created by other programmers, but prices usually are higher than to create new EA as it takes much time to read and learn the code. Also most of the codes are not reliable and we just do not want to mess with such applications that we can not be responsible for.

We offer unlimited software testing period, so even after a few weeks or months feel free to contact us if you find any issues or errors. We stand behind our software and guarantee all issues will be fixed. This does not include major changes when software is outdated because of Metatrader 4 updates or some other applications involved.

After custom software is created by your trading rules and requirements you will receive full source code (MQ4 file). It will completely belong to your with full copyrights and you are free to modify it or distribute in any way you need.

Usually we do not provide assistance in setting up the EA as it is very simple process when you need to copy MQ4 or EX4 file to the \MT4-folder\experts\ folder and restart your MT4 to complete the installation (if it was running during this short installation). But if you need help on how to install or use software from ea-coder.com we will be glad to help you.

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
