Build a news-driven EA you can actually read.
Pick a strategy, tune the news window and the risk, download the
.mq5. Every line comes from a hand-written template this
site compiles and backtests before it is published — the builder fills
in your numbers as the input defaults and nothing else. No signup, no
AI-generated code, and the file is yours.
From ForexFactory strategy styles
The mechanical styles the ranked strategy threads actually describe. Every thread page whose method maps to one of these carries a "Build this strategy style" button that prefills the wizard.
News-driven
Grid, martingale and hedging threads are deliberately not buildable here — those mechanics can destroy an account, the same finding this site's risk scoring flags on products. Every template reads the free Forex Factory weekly calendar feed live, and a historical CSV (provided on the download step) inside the Strategy Tester.
Configuring — which events matter and how wide the window around each one is.
Used for the file name. The EA itself runs on whatever chart you attach it to.
Straddle: how early the orders are placed. Filter/blackout: when the window opens.
Comma-separated codes like USD,EUR. Empty = the EA derives them from the chart symbol (XAUUSD → USD).
Straddle
Session box
Stop orders sit this many points beyond the box high/low.
Pivot levels
Baseline entry
Blackout
0 guards every position on the chart symbol, including manual trades. A specific magic number guards only that EA's trades.
Risk
Take profit 0 = none. Points are your broker's points: on 2-digit gold 100 points = $1.00, on a 3-digit feed the same 100 points = $0.10 — check your symbol's digits.
