RSI_Reversal.mq5 — compile in MetaEditor, attach to a chartThe ecosystem
Most traders stitch this workflow together from a builder, a tester, a spreadsheet and a forum thread. Here it is one account, one canvas and one wallet: MetaTrader bots from idea to build(no code), backtest, parameter optimization and sell in marketplace ecosystem.
Start from the strategy you already trade
Open a blank canvas or one of 20 prebuilt strategy templates, from an RSI bot to a multi-timeframe or grid system.
Wire the strategy together — no MQL4 or MQL5 required
Drag nodes onto the canvas and connect them. Events, indicators, price data, logic, orders, variables and math are all node types, and the connections are the program.
Set the strategy against history before it trades
Queue a historical run from inside the builder — symbol, timeframe, date range, spread and starting capital — and read the equity curve, trade list and statistics when it comes back.
Find the inputs that hold up, not the ones that fit
Sweep indicator periods, thresholds, lot sizing and stop distances across ranges instead of guessing a single value by hand.
Publish the finished strategy and get paid for it
List a working strategy in the community marketplace, set your price, and take the proceeds into your wallet the moment someone buys.
Inside the builder
23 node types across 8 categories, all 38 MetaTrader built-in indicators and 20 ready-made strategies. You connect them; the platform writes the MQL4 or MQL5.
Each maps to its real MetaTrader function, with typed parameters and separately wired output lines.
Ask for a change in plain English and the assistant adds the nodes and rewires the connections itself. Every change is checked before it touches your canvas, so a bad answer cannot break a strategy that was working.
you ▸ only buy when ATR is above 0.0015, and move the stop to breakeven at +20 pips
graph ▸ +2 nodes, +3 edges, condition rows grown to fit
The marketplace
Publishing turns a finished graph into a listing other traders can buy. The sale, the commission and the credit reaching your wallet are one event, the moment a buyer goes through. Those earnings are spendable straight away on your plan and on other traders' strategies, and you can withdraw them to a crypto address once they mature 14 days after the sale — sale earnings only, never funds you added yourself, with a $50.00 minimum and a person reviewing every request.
The public listing shows only the name, description, price, seller and node counts. The strategy itself is never sent to anyone who has not bought it — there is nothing to uncover by inspecting the page. It is handed to the buyer, and only at the moment the payment goes through.
Commission comes from your live plan at the moment of sale, not from a rate stamped on the listing: 15% on Pro, 5% on Premium. Seller proceeds and the platform cut always add up to exactly what the buyer paid.
USDT and USDC are accepted across Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Solana, TON, Arbitrum, Optimism and Base — plus BUSD, TRX, TON, BNB and SOL. Sale proceeds are in your wallet the instant a buyer completes, and a top-up is only ever credited once the payment itself is confirmed.
How it works
Five steps from a trading idea to a compiled Expert Advisor you can sell. The first one is free.
Sign in and start a project from a blank canvas or from one of the 20 strategy templates. The free plan includes three projects.
Drag an event node, the indicators you trade, your entry conditions and a buy or sell order onto the canvas, then connect them. The connections are the logic — you never write MQL4 or MQL5.
Describe the change you want in plain English. The assistant edits the graph directly — adding nodes and rewiring connections — and every change is checked before it reaches your canvas.
On Pro or Premium, set the symbol, timeframe, date range, spread and starting balance, then queue the run. It executes on our test servers and comes back with an equity curve, the full trade list and the run log.
Export the graph as source code for the terminal the project targets, then compile it in MetaEditor and attach it to a chart.
On Pro or Premium, list the finished strategy at your own price. When someone buys, the sale settles to your wallet immediately, minus commission.
Pricing
Plans are paid from your wallet balance, so a lapsed plan never locks a project — it only stops you creating new ones beyond the limit. Nothing you have built is ever hidden or deleted.

Questions
Short, direct answers about what the platform does today — including the parts that are not finished.
TradeSmithy is a visual, no-code builder for MetaTrader Expert Advisors: you assemble a trading strategy as a node graph on a canvas, refine it in plain English with an AI assistant, export it as ready-to-compile MQL4 or MQL5 source code, and sell it to other traders in a built-in marketplace — without leaving the platform.
No. You build the strategy by dragging nodes onto a canvas and connecting them, and the platform generates the source code for you in the language your target terminal uses. Reading code helps if you want to check the output before compiling it, but nothing in the build process requires you to write any.
Create a project and pick its terminal, drop an event node such as OnTick onto the canvas, add the indicators your strategy uses, wire them into an if-condition, connect that to a buy or sell order node, then export the graph as MQL4 or MQL5 and compile it in MetaEditor. A working first strategy takes about fifteen minutes from a template.
Yes. The assistant edits the node graph itself rather than just describing changes — ask it to add an ATR filter or to route a second condition into an existing order and it will add the nodes and the connections. Every change it proposes is checked before it reaches your canvas, so a bad answer cannot break a strategy that was working. The assistant is included on Pro and Premium.
All 38 MetaTrader built-in indicators ship with the builder: Moving Average, Double Exponential Moving Average, Triple Exponential Moving Average, Fractal Adaptive Moving Average, Adaptive Moving Average, Variable Index Dynamic Average, Envelopes, Parabolic SAR, Average Directional Movement Index, ADX by Welles Wilder, Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, Alligator, Gator Oscillator, Fractals, Relative Strength Index, Moving Average Convergence Divergence, Moving Average of Oscillator, Stochastic Oscillator, Commodity Channel Index, Williams Percent Range, Momentum, Relative Vigor Index, DeMarker, Awesome Oscillator, Accelerator Oscillator, Bears Power, Bulls Power, Triple Exponential Average, Bollinger Bands, Average True Range, Standard Deviation, Volumes, On Balance Volume, Money Flow Index, Accumulation/Distribution, Force Index, Chaikin Oscillator, Market Facilitation Index. Each is mapped to its real function with typed parameters and named output lines, so a MACD node exposes its main, signal and histogram outputs separately. 29 of them exist in MetaTrader 4; the 9 that MetaTrader 5 added are shown but disabled on an MT4 project, so you always know why one is unavailable.
Yes, on Pro and Premium. Set up a run — symbol, timeframe, date range, spread, leverage, modelling mode, starting balance and every parameter your strategy declares — and queue it; the run executes on our test servers and returns an equity curve, the full trade list and the run log. Runs continue whether or not the page is open, and you can see your position in the queue while you wait. Results are whatever the test produced, on your configuration: no invented figures are ever shown, and a backtest is not a prediction about a live account.
Not yet — it is in development and will run inside the same builder. The groundwork is already in place: every parameter you can set carries its own sensible range, which is what an optimizer needs in order to search it. It will not be sold as a separate product.
Yes, on Pro and Premium. Publish a strategy to the community marketplace at a price you set; when someone buys it, the credit is in your wallet immediately — the sale and the settlement are one event, with nothing to claim. Commission is 15% on Pro and 5% on Premium, taken from your live plan at the moment of sale. Earnings pay for your plan and for other traders' strategies, and can be withdrawn to a crypto address once they mature 14 days after the sale. Only sale earnings are withdrawable, never funds you added yourself, and the minimum withdrawal is $50.00. Withdrawals are reviewed and sent by a person rather than automatically.
No. The public listing carries only the shop-window details — name, description, price, seller and node counts. The strategy itself is never sent to anyone who has not bought it, so there is nothing to uncover by inspecting the page or the listing: it is handed over only to a buyer, at the moment the payment goes through.
Wallet top-ups are paid in crypto through a hosted checkout. USDT and USDC are accepted across Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Solana, TON, Arbitrum, Optimism and Base, plus BUSD, TRX, TON, BNB and SOL. A balance is only ever credited by a verified payment notification from the provider — returning to the site never credits anything by itself.
There are three plans, each billed per 30 days from your wallet balance: Free at $0, Pro at $19, Premium at $49. Free includes 3 projects and 1 code export every 30 days; Pro adds the AI assistant, marketplace selling and backtesting; Premium adds unlimited projects and the lowest commission.
Nothing is locked, hidden or deleted. The project limit is checked only when you create a project, so a lapsed Pro account keeps full read and write access to all 25 of its projects and simply cannot create the 26th until it upgrades or removes one. There is no read-only project state.
Yes. Each project targets one terminal, chosen when you create it and changeable at any time, and the builder generates MQL4 for MetaTrader 4 or MQL5 for MetaTrader 5 accordingly — they are different languages, not versions of one, so each gets its own generator rather than a translation. The choice also decides which indicators the library offers, whether an uploaded custom indicator must be a .ex4 or a .ex5, and what buyers are told before they purchase a strategy in the marketplace.
3 projects and a code export on the free plan — no card, no trial clock. Upgrade only when you want the AI assistant, backtesting or a marketplace listing.
