There's no shortage of EAs being sold online with polished landing pages and backtests that look like a straight line up. Most of them don't survive first contact with a live account. We've tested a lot of them ourselves, with real money. The full rating is here: forexroasted.com/robots We spent our own cash on this. Not demo accounts, not vendor-provided setups. Go check it out before you buy anything. What we're currently running Out of everything we've been through, two EAs have actually held up on live accounts: EA Automatic and BullCharge Full performance data and our take on both are in the rating above. — ForexRoasted Team

This section is for discussing automated trading systems: EAs, trading robots, algorithmic setups, and anything that executes trades without you sitting at the screen. Share what you're running, ask what you can't figure out, and be straight about results. Basic conduct Be honest about performance. A robot that's been running live for three months with a modest return is worth more to this community than a backtest that turned $1,000 into $1,000,000. If someone's EA logic has a flaw, explain it properly. "That'll blow the account" needs more than just the assertion. No dismissing people who are new to automation. The learning curve is real and everyone here hit the same walls. Promotion & advertising Do not advertise your EA, robot, or automated system without admin approval. This includes "soft" promotion: recommending your own product across multiple threads, offering free trials that lead to a sales funnel, or posting performance screenshots with a link attached. If you've built something and want to share it with the community, contact admin first. There's a right way to do it. Referral links get removed without warning. DMing members to sell your robot will get you banned. Posting standards When sharing results, include the context: live or demo, broker, account size, timeframe the robot has been running, drawdown, not just the return. Anyone can cherry-pick a good month. When asking for help with an EA, specify the platform, the issue, and what you've already tried. "My robot doesn't work" tells us nothing. If your robot blows up, post what happened. Failure reports are some of the most useful content on any trading forum. Backtests are fine for discussion but label them clearly. Optimised backtests presented as live performance will get your post removed. Other things that'll get your post removed Cracked, decompiled, or pirated EAs. Zero tolerance, instant ban. Unverified performance claims with no supporting data. Posts that exist purely to funnel people toward a paid product. 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 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 technical indicators, scripts, charting tools, signal tools, and anything else that helps you analyse the market. Share what you use, ask what you can't figure out, and help others when you can. Basic conduct If someone's indicator setup looks questionable, explain why, don't just laugh at it. Everyone's been a beginner. No condescension toward people asking basic questions about indicators. This section exists precisely for that. Critique the tool, not the person using it. Promotion & advertising Do not advertise paid indicators, signal services, or proprietary tools without admin approval. Posting your product link "just as a resource" still counts as promotion. If you built something and want to share it, reach out to admin first, there's a right way to do it. Referral links to third-party tool platforms get removed without warning. DMing members to sell your indicator or tool will get you banned. Posting standards When sharing an indicator, include what it's for, what platform it runs on, and ideally a screenshot with some context. A file with no explanation helps no one. When asking for help, mention the platform: MT4, MT5, TradingView, cTrader, and what you're actually trying to achieve. "This indicator doesn't work" isn't enough to go on. Don't post backtested results as proof of anything without being upfront about the methodology. Curve-fitted results on clean historical data are worthless and everyone here knows it. Other things that'll get your post removed Sharing cracked, decompiled, or pirated versions of paid indicators. Zero tolerance. Posting tools that require account registration on suspicious third-party sites. Indicators bundled with unrelated promotional material. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. Not sure if something's allowed, message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team
