Make the strategy your own.
With the source in your hands, your ideas can go further than the settings panel.
No extra dependencies to install
Open your source in MetaEditor and start building. Projects use self-contained code or the standard libraries already included with MT5.
Unlimited personal use
Study, customise and trade on your own accounts. Your EA source gives you the freedom to keep refining your ideas.
Pay once. No activation or usage fees.
One purchase per source project. MQLume does not charge by the number of activations or uses.
Vibe coding. Your trading judgement.
Bring your ideas to an AI coding assistant. Use the editable MQL5 project as your starting point, and stay in control of every change.
Describe your idea
Ask for a session filter, clearer logging or a different risk rule.
Review the change
Read the proposed code, check the logic and compile it in MetaEditor.
Test your version
Compare backtests, then test on a demo account before considering live use.
Use an AI tool of your choice; no AI subscription is included. Review generated code and keep your source private. Better tools support your process, but do not guarantee trading profits.
