    This section covers MT4 and MT5 specifically: platform setup, EA installation, scripting, troubleshooting, and anything else tied to the MetaTrader ecosystem. If your question is more about a specific broker's conditions or a standalone indicator, there are better sections for that. Basic conduct If you see someone make a mistake in their code or setup, point it out properly. A correction with context is useful, a one-line "that's wrong" is not. No condescension toward newer traders figuring out the platform. MT4 has a learning curve and everyone here hit the same walls at some point. Critique the approach, not the person. Promotion & advertising Do not advertise EAs, scripts, or any paid products without admin approval. "Here's a free version, DM me for the full one" is still promotion. If you've built something and want to share it, contact admin first. Referral links and third-party service promotions get removed without warning. DMing members to sell anything will get you banned. Posting standards When asking for help, specify the platform version (MT4 or MT5), your broker, and what exactly is happening. Screenshots help. "My EA stopped working" tells us nothing. When sharing code, paste it properly formatted. A wall of unformatted MQL is hard to read and people are less likely to help. If you've solved your own issue, post the fix. Someone else will run into the same problem. Other things that'll get your post removed Sharing cracked or decompiled versions of paid EAs or indicators. Zero tolerance. Posts that are clearly just fishing for private coaching or paid services. Off-topic broker complaints or general trading discussion. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    This section is for discussing EAs, trading robots, algo strategies, backtesting setups, and anything related to automated trading. Pretty straightforward stuff, but a few things need to be spelled out. Basic conduct Don't be a dick to other members. Debate the idea, not the person. If someone's EA is garbage, say so, just don't make it personal. No harassment, no targeted pile-ons, no trolling. We've all seen how that ends on other forums. Promotion & advertising Don't advertise your bot, EA, signal service, or anything you're selling, not without clearing it with admin first. This includes the subtle stuff: "oh by the way my tool does exactly this" across five different threads is still promo. Referral links posted without permission get removed, no warning. DMing members to push your product will get you banned. Full stop. Posting standards If you're sharing a backtest, give it some context. Raw equity curve screenshots with zero explanation aren't useful to anyone. Don't post performance claims you can't back up. "Made 400% in three months" with no evidence goes straight in the bin. Stay on topic. This isn't the place for broker drama or general trading chat — there are other sections for that. Other stuff that'll get you removed Sharing cracked or decompiled EAs. Zero tolerance, instant ban. Promoting brokers beyond a passing technical mention. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. So, the rules are not that complicated. If something feels like it might be borderline, just message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team
