Services / MetaTrader EA engineering

Every orderaccounted for

We build Expert Advisors for MetaTrader 4 and 5 for forex, gold, indices and commodity CFDs. Coded from your rules, tested on real tick data and built to handle what brokers throw at them.

Built for prop-firm traders

  • Hard daily-loss and maximum-drawdown limits, calculated the way your firm calculates them
  • Trading pauses around news releases where your firm restricts them
  • Position-size and lot caps per account
  • A daily compliance log showing every rule check

Your firm’s rules, as hard limits

Breaking a challenge rule costs you the account. You give us your firm’s rules, and the EA treats them as limits it can’t cross.

Check that your firm allows EAs, and which kinds, before you start. We can help you read the rules, but the firm decides.

Built for what goes wrong

Any EA works on a quiet day. Ours are built for the bad ones.

  • Rejected orders, requotes and slippageDetected, retried safely or abandoned, and always logged.
  • Disconnects and restartsThe EA rebuilds its state from the account and never loses track of open positions.
  • Broker differencesSymbol suffixes, GMT offsets, daylight-saving shifts, stop levels and contract sizes handled per broker.
  • Something unexpectedThe EA flattens or pauses as you specify and alerts you within seconds.

Every order the EA sends is logged with its result. If something failed, you’ll know what, when and why.

Your risk rules, enforced

A built-in risk toolkit you configure. Every risk rule is stress-tested on years of tick data before go-live.

  • Position sizing by fixed lots, percent of equity or volatility
  • Equity stops, daily and weekly loss limits
  • Maximum open trades and exposure per symbol
  • Trading-session and spread filters

Testing you can trust

  • Backtests on real tick data, with variable spreads, commissions and swaps modelled
  • Walk-forward and out-of-sample results, plus Monte Carlo drawdown ranges
  • A forward test on a demo account against the backtest before anything goes live
  • Pure results, with no recommendations

Straight answers

Can you make my EA pass a prop-firm challenge?

We can make it follow your firm’s rules exactly. Whether it passes depends on your strategy, which is yours.

Do I get the source code?

Yes. You get the full MQL4 or MQL5 source, not just a compiled file.

MT4 or MT5?

Either. We recommend MT5 for new builds: better testing, more order types and broader broker support.

Do you sell EAs or signals?

No. We build your strategy, for you only. We don’t sell ready-made EAs, signals or copy trading.

Where do you work with clients?

Internationally. This service isn’t available to residents of India: Indian residents can’t legally trade forex or CFDs with offshore brokers. Indian traders can use our India algo engineering service for NSE, BSE and MCX instead.

ArthaQuant provides software development services only. We don’t provide investment advice, manage funds, place trades or sell trading strategies. Backtests are simulations on historical data and don’t predict future results. Trading carries a substantial risk of loss. All trading decisions are the client’s own.
