MT4 to MT5 migration checklist for EA owners
Moving an EA from MQL4 to MQL5 isn't just a syntax swap. The underlying architectures are fundamentally different. The biggest headache for most people is the transition from the…
Equity stop vs per-trade stop: why you need both
Most traders treat stop losses as a per-trade rule, but that ignores the risk of correlated systemic failure. A per-trade stop manages the risk of a specific setup going wrong,…
Position sizing formulas that survive a losing streak
Most blowups happen because people treat position sizing as an afterthought. If you risk a fixed dollar amount regardless of your account size, a bad streak will wipe you out. The…
Prop-firm EA rules: how to run an EA without breaching drawdown limits
Most prop firms kill EAs not because the strategy is bad, but because the risk management is static. You have to understand that these firms are selling a mathematical edge…
FXDreema vs hand-written MQL5 vs AI generators — where does each path break?
For a non-trivial trend EA (ATR stop + session filter + partial close), I want a 2026 map: 1. [FXDreema](https://fxdreema.com) — visual builder 2. Hand-written…
EA Farm / FarmBot style portfolios — how do you diversify without correlation blow-ups?
Once you run more than 3–4 EAs, the real problem is not "does bot A have edge" — it is whether the farm dies together. I have been looking at [My EA…

FXDreema vs learning MQL5 properly — which path for a non-programmer?
I have traded manually for 2 years and want to automate. I am not a programmer. Should I spend the time with FXDreema or learn MQL5 from zero? Roughly how long does each path take…
Why do grid/martingale bots always die eventually?
I've run grid bots on ranging pairs for years. The pattern is always the same: months of smooth 5-10% monthly returns, then one trending week erases a year. Is there any…
Structuring a multi-symbol EA without it becoming spaghetti
I'm refactoring an EA that trades 6 symbols and the OnTick handler is becoming an if-else forest. Every symbol has slightly different state and filters and it's getting…
Tool that writes MQL5 from plain English — does it actually exist?
I can read code but writing MQL5 from scratch is painfully slow for me. Is there any tool where you describe the strategy in plain English and it generates the EA? I've seen…
My EA survived a VPS crash mid-trade because of this watchdog setup
Last month my VPS provider had a "brief maintenance event" at 2am my time — 40 minutes of downtime with three positions open and no stops on the broker side (my EA manages exits…
I built the same strategy in FXDreema, StrategyQuant, and an AI generator — manual fix counts inside
Same strategy, three tools, one weekend: EMA 50/200 cross on EURUSD H1, ATR(14) trailing stop, no trades during red-folder news, 0.5% risk per trade. I counted every manual…
Grid trading and martingale — any configuration that is not just timing the blow-up?
