r/Mt5

So I built my own EA for gold and it's been live about 4 months. Figured I'd just dump the actual numbers here instead of another cherry picked screenshot. DD, win rate, the losers, it's all in there. (low balance account)

I know it's still early and a small sample. And gold's been trending hard this year so honestly part of this is probably just the market cooperating, not some genius edge. Fixed SL every trade, no grid, no martingale, one trade at a time.

Making a 5-10% per month on average 86% winrate currently

Here are some screenshots:

Mostly posting because I'm curious what people would rip apart first.
Thoughts? Would love to hear some "experts" taking a look at it.

I've been looking into different trading platforms, and MT5 seems to be one of the most commonly recommended options for forex and CFD trading.

Before I commit to using it full-time, I'd like to hear from people who have real experience with the platform. How does it perform in terms of charting, order execution, indicators and overall reliability?

Do you think MT5 is suitable for both beginners and experienced traders, or would you recommend a different platform? Any honest feedback, tips or comparisons would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been building called CoreCandle. Like a lot of you, I was tired of two major friction points in my trading setup:

1. The clunkiness of running native desktop platforms (especially on non-Windows machines).

2. The frustrating execution latency caused by cloud webhooks and centralized mid-layers when using web tools.

If you browse these subreddits often, you might remember my previous posts about the legacy Windows desktop version of this platform. While the desktop app worked well, it had two massive bottlenecks: it locked out Mac/Linux users, and managing local multi-account execution without connection lag was a constant headache.

Instead of trying to patch an old architecture, I decided to completely pivot and rewrite the entire system from scratch for the browser. I used Rust, WebAssembly, and WebGPU to see if I could bring raw desktop performance into a standard web tab. CoreCandle is the result of that total overhaul.

solve this, I built a high-performance trading terminal that shifts all the heavy lifting directly to the user's hardware inside the browser.

### The Architecture:

* **WebGPU Core:** Renders thousands of data points, complex indicators, and raw order books smoothly at a locked 60+ FPS without choking the DOM or burning up the CPU.

* **WASM Pipeline:** Handles ultra-fast data serialization and client-side processing.

* **Direct Broker Connections:** Instead of routing your trades through a central server mid-layer (which introduces webhook and execution lag), the app establishes direct, secure client-side WebSocket connections straight to your crypto/forex brokers and MT5 endpoints.

### Why this matters for execution:

By keeping the entire pipeline client-side, your private API keys never touch a third-party server, and order execution times drop significantly because you're bypassing the typical "TradingView -> Webhook Server -> Lambda Function -> Broker" latency loop.

I’m currently gathering feedback from active traders, quants, and engineers to see what features or integrations would be most valuable next.

Happy to answer any questions about the WebGPU render loop or the client-side socket implementation!

MQL5's market is full of AI garbage with botted reviews.

What I build:

- Expert Advisors (any strategy — trend, scalp, grid, prop firm)

- Custom indicators (any logic)

- Pine Script → MQL5 conversion

- EA debugging/modification

- Copy trading systems

Delivery: 1–5 days. Clean commented code. Source included.

Rate: $30–80 fixed depending on complexity.

DM with your requirements.

Hey reddit, I'm a senior software developer and since long time ago I felt the process of analysing, sharing MT5 backtests and strategies with other members was always a hassle, screenshots, downloading html reports etc, so I decided to build StrategyLens.

StrategyLens is free, allows you to analyse your strategies and create portfolios in local, everything stays in your computer, no cloud information is sent unless you decide to share the strategy with other people which has a feature to create a link to share, in that case it does upload raw data of the trades only to the cloud) (never the EA input params).

It has been built also to be mobile friendly, and has some features like prop firm deterministic evaluation based on your strategy.

Feel free to check out, can also be installed as a PWA (Progressive Web App) to act like a desktop application or mobile phone app (ios safari - Add to Home)

Just upload a .htm/html/xlsx MT5 Backtest Report to see your strategy analytics in action.

Feedback is also appreciated.

See you at the charts!
