MetaTrader Integration
Forex Strategy Studio takes you from idea → strategy → backtest → execution without the usual friction.
➡️ Create and refine your strategy logic in the visual strategy builder (no coding required).
➡️ Validate your approach with powerful on-device backtesting and performance analytics.
➡️ Iterate quickly, compare results, and only move forward once the data supports the strategy.
➡️ Then, export your strategy as real MQL5 source code and run it inside MetaTrader 5
as an Expert Advisor.
1) In Forex Strategy Studio
- Open Forex Strategy Studio
