Questions

Is Forex Strategy Studio an alternative to Expert Advisor Studio?

Yes, if you build for MetaTrader 5. Forex Strategy Studio creates strategies visually and exports MQL5 source code, and adds backtesting on the device, live signals and a daily AI analysis, all on your phone.

Does Forex Strategy Studio work without an internet connection?

Yes. Building and backtesting run on the phone, so you can design and test a strategy offline. The daily AI analysis and the live signals need a connection to update.

Does the MQL5 code work with any MetaTrader 5 broker?

Yes. The export is standard, compilable .mq5 source code. Compile it in MetaEditor and run it with any MetaTrader 5 broker that allows Expert Advisors. The MT5 Integration Guide walks through every step.
