RSI_Reversal.mq5 — compile in MetaEditor, attach to a chartThe ecosystem
Most traders stitch this workflow together from a builder, a tester, a spreadsheet and a forum thread. Here it is one account, one canvas and one wallet: from idea to build(no code), backtest, parameter optimization and sell in marketplace ecosystem.
Start from the strategy you already trade
Open a blank canvas or one of 20 prebuilt strategy templates, from an RSI bot to a multi-timeframe or grid system.
Wire the strategy together — no MQL5 required
Drag nodes onto the canvas and connect them. Events, indicators, price data, logic, orders, variables and math are all node types, and the connections are the program.
Set the strategy against history before it trades
Configure the symbol, timeframe, date range, spread and starting capital for a historical run from inside the builder.
Find the inputs that hold up, not the ones that fit
Sweep indicator periods, thresholds, lot sizing and stop distances across ranges instead of guessing a single value by hand.
Publish the finished strategy and get paid for it
List a working strategy in the community marketplace, set your price, and take the proceeds into your wallet the moment someone buys.
Inside the builder
20 node types across 7 categories, 16 MetaTrader 5 indicators and 20 ready-made strategies. You connect them; the platform writes the MQL5.
Each maps to its real MQL5 function, with typed parameters and separately wired output lines.
Ask for a change in plain English and the assistant adds the nodes and rewires the connections itself. Every reply is normalised, validated and synchronised before it touches your canvas, so a malformed answer cannot corrupt a working strategy.
you ▸ only buy when ATR is above 0.0015, and move the stop to breakeven at +20 pips
graph ▸ +2 nodes, +3 edges, condition rows grown to fit
The marketplace
Publishing turns a finished graph into a listing other traders can buy. Settlement, commission and the payout into your wallet all happen server-side, in one transaction, the moment the sale goes through.
The public listing shows only the name, description, price, seller and node counts. The strategy graph is stored where every client is denied access and is released by the server alone, to the buyer, at settlement.
Commission comes from your live plan at the moment of sale, not from a rate stamped on the listing: 15% on Pro, 5% on Premium. Seller proceeds and the platform cut always add up to exactly what the buyer paid.
USDT and USDC are accepted across Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Solana, TON, Arbitrum, Optimism and Base — plus BUSD, TRX, TON, BNB and SOL. Sale proceeds land in your wallet in the same transaction as the purchase, and a balance is only ever credited by a verified payment notification.
How it works
Five steps from a trading idea to a compiled Expert Advisor you can sell. The first one is free.
Sign in and start a project from a blank canvas or from one of the 20 strategy templates. The free plan includes three projects.
Drag an event node, the indicators you trade, your entry conditions and a buy or sell order onto the canvas, then connect them. The connections are the logic — you never write MQL5.
Describe the change you want in plain English. The assistant edits the graph directly — adding nodes and rewiring connections — and the result is normalised and validated before it is applied.
Export the graph as MQL5 source code, then compile it in MetaEditor and attach it to a MetaTrader 5 chart.
On Pro or Premium, list the finished strategy at your own price. When someone buys, the sale settles to your wallet immediately, minus commission.
Pricing
Plans are paid from your wallet balance, so a lapsed plan never locks a project — it only stops you creating new ones beyond the limit. Nothing you have built is ever hidden or deleted.

Questions
Short, direct answers about what the platform does today — including the parts that are not finished.
TradeSmithy is a visual, no-code builder for MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors: you assemble a trading strategy as a node graph on a canvas, refine it in plain English with an AI assistant, export it as ready-to-compile MQL5 source code, and sell it to other traders in a built-in marketplace — without leaving the platform.
No. You build the strategy by dragging nodes onto a canvas and connecting them, and the platform generates the MQL5 source code for you. Reading code helps if you want to check the output before compiling it, but nothing in the build process requires you to write any.
Create a project, drop an event node such as OnTick onto the canvas, add the indicators your strategy uses, wire them into an if-condition, connect that to a buy or sell order node, then export the graph as MQL5 and compile it in MetaEditor. A working first strategy takes about fifteen minutes from a template.
Yes. The assistant edits the node graph itself rather than just describing changes — ask it to add an ATR filter or to route a second condition into an existing order and it will add the nodes and the connections. Its output is normalised, grown to fit dynamic inputs, validated and synchronised before it is applied, so a malformed reply cannot corrupt your canvas. The assistant is included on Pro and Premium.
16 indicators ship built in: Moving Average, Relative Strength Index, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic Oscillator, Average True Range, Commodity Channel Index, Average Directional Index, Williams %R, Momentum, Moving Average of Oscillator, Relative Vigor Index, Parabolic SAR, Standard Deviation, DeMarker, Envelopes. Each one is mapped to its real MQL5 function with typed parameters and named output lines, so a MACD node exposes its main, signal and histogram outputs separately.
Backtest configuration is available on Pro and Premium — you can set the symbol, timeframe, date range, spread and starting balance from inside the builder. The execution engine is not connected yet, so the Run button is disabled rather than showing results that were never computed. It is the next thing being built.
Not yet — it is in development and will run inside the same builder. The groundwork is already in place: every node parameter is a typed input with a declared minimum, maximum and default, which is exactly what an optimizer needs to sweep. It will not be sold as a separate product.
Yes, on Pro and Premium. Publish a strategy to the community marketplace at a price you set; when someone buys it, the money lands in your wallet in the same transaction as the sale. Commission is 15% on Pro and 5% on Premium, taken from your live plan at the moment of sale.
No. The public listing carries only the shop-window details — name, description, price, seller and node counts. The strategy graph itself is stored in a separate location that every client is denied access to, and it is released only by the server, only to a buyer, at the moment the payment settles.
Wallet top-ups are paid in crypto through a hosted checkout. USDT and USDC are accepted across Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Solana, TON, Arbitrum, Optimism and Base, plus BUSD, TRX, TON, BNB and SOL. A balance is only ever credited by a verified payment notification from the provider — returning to the site never credits anything by itself.
There are three plans, each billed per 30 days from your wallet balance: Free at $0, Pro at $19, Premium at $49. Free includes 3 projects and 1 MQL5 export per period; Pro adds the AI assistant, backtesting and marketplace selling; Premium adds unlimited projects and the lowest commission.
Nothing is locked, hidden or deleted. The project limit is checked only when you create a project, so a lapsed Pro account keeps full read and write access to all 25 of its projects and simply cannot create the 26th until it upgrades or removes one. There is no read-only project state.
No. The output is MQL5, targeting MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors. MQL4 and MetaTrader 4 are not supported.
Yes. The application ships with a Docker setup and a documented self-hosting path, so you can run the whole stack on your own infrastructure with your own API keys.
3 projects and an MQL5 export on the free plan — no card, no trial clock. Upgrade only when you want the AI assistant, backtesting or a marketplace listing.
