For traders who use MetaTrader 5
Build it from simple blocks, with safety limits you set, and test it on past prices. While we launch it is free, and that includes the robot for your own accounts.
You can start without an account.

Start from an example or a blank page. Put your rules in rows of blocks.
It points out anything missing, in plain words, and refuses risky robots.

Enter your account numbers. It is free while we launch, and we email you when it is ready.

Screens of the builder and your account, with the example robot EMA Cross Trend.
MetaTrader 5 on a computer
The free trading app many brokers give you. Robots run on a computer, not in the phone app.
An account with a broker
You need its account number when you get your robot. Start with a demo account, which uses practice money.
A computer that stays on, or a VPS
Your robot works only while the app is open. A VPS is a computer you rent online that stays on.

Every robot you build has safety limits built in. You choose the numbers. When a limit is reached, your robot stops opening new trades.
A limit stops new trades. It cannot stop prices from jumping, so a loss can sometimes go past the limit you set.
Some robots try to win back a loss by taking bigger and bigger trades. That can empty an account fast. The builder refuses to make a robot that:
When you get a robot, you enter the account numbers it may run on. It never contacts our website, and its safety limits work inside the robot.
PipCircle is a separate website that checks real-money trading accounts, using data read from the broker's own trading server (the broker is the company that holds the account). Then it shows their results in public.
When your robot is trading, you can connect that account to PipCircle. Then anyone can see how the account really did, checked by PipCircle and not by us. A listing on PipCircle is not a recommendation.

No. You build your robot by joining blocks and filling them in with plain words and numbers. If you can write your rules down on paper, you can build them here.
A trading robot (also called an EA, short for Expert Advisor) is a small program that runs inside MetaTrader. It watches prices and buys or sells by following a set of rules. With TheTradingRobot, the rules are yours.
Yes. You can download a free test copy of any robot you build. It runs only in the Strategy Tester in MetaTrader 5, which replays past prices, so you can see how your rules would have traded before you run it on an account. Past results do not tell you what will happen next.
You download your robot, copy it into MetaTrader 5's Experts folder, drag it onto a chart and switch on Algo Trading. Our step-by-step guide shows every click.

Your robot runs in MetaTrader 5 on a computer, or on a VPS. The MetaTrader phone apps cannot run robots, but you can use them to check your account.
Only if you want your robot to run while your own computer is off. A VPS is a computer you rent online that stays on. We do not host robots for you.
No. When you get a robot, we ask for the account numbers it may run on, never for a password. Your robot runs inside your own MetaTrader 5, which is already logged in to your account.
Only on the MetaTrader 5 account numbers you enter when you get it, for example a demo account and a live account. On any other account it shows a message and does not trade. The Strategy Tester always runs it.
Yes. Ask for an account change on your account page, and we build the same robot again for the new account number. The copy you already downloaded keeps working on the old account.
Our build computer makes robots in order, so there can be a wait. We email you when yours is ready to download. The longest wait is 24 hours.
Your robot is made for MetaTrader 5, so you need a broker that offers it. Some prop firms have their own rules about robots, so read your firm's rules before you use one. We never claim that a firm accepts our robots.
Building and checking your robot are free, and so is its test copy. While we launch, getting your robot for your own accounts is free too.
Later, you will pay once for each robot. We will announce prices at least 30 days before payments start. A robot you get while we launch keeps working on its accounts.
No. There is no subscription. While we launch, your robot is free. Later, you will pay once for each robot, and downloading it again will stay free. Your rules stay yours, and you can download a copy of them at any time.
We cannot promise that. A robot follows your rules exactly. If your rules lose money, the robot will lose money too. What it can do is run your rules the same way every time and stop at the limits you set. Trading is risky, and you can lose more than you put in.
Open the builder and put your rules in blocks. You can start without an account, and it is free while we launch.
