Clear, indicative pricing for custom MetaTrader Expert Advisors, what drives the cost, and how fixed-price quoting keeps it predictable.
A custom Expert Advisor typically costs from around €300 for a simple single-signal robot, €600 to €1,500 for a multi-condition EA with proper risk management, and €2,000 or more for an advanced multi-instrument system. The price tracks complexity, not hours, and every project is quoted at a fixed price before any work starts.
These are indicative starting ranges for custom EA development on MetaTrader 4 and 5. Your exact price depends on the strategy, but this is the ballpark most projects fall into.
| Project type | From | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Simple / single-signal EA | from €300 | One clear entry and exit rule, basic stop-loss and take-profit, one instrument. |
| Multi-condition EA + risk management | €600–€1,500 | Several signals and filters, money management, position sizing, alerts and inputs. |
| Multi-instrument / advanced system | from €2,000 | Portfolio logic across instruments, advanced risk control, optimization and thorough testing. |
| MT4 to MT5 conversion / modifications | from €150 | Porting an existing EA or making changes, depending on size and available source code. |
Indicative starting prices in EUR. Every project is scoped and quoted individually at a fixed price before work begins.
Two EAs can cost very differently for the same strategy idea, depending on how much has to be engineered around it. The main drivers are:
Whatever the size of the project, the price includes the things that make the EA genuinely yours and dependable:
Hourly billing pushes the risk of unknowns onto you. We do the opposite: we scope the project on a short call, agree the rules in writing, and quote a single fixed price up front. You know the cost before you commit, and the incentive is on us to build it right. See the full Expert Advisor development service, or learn how an EA is built before you brief us.
Tell us the strategy and we will scope it and quote a fixed price, usually within a day. Start with EA development, turn an existing approach into a robot with strategy to Expert Advisor conversion, or just book a call.

Mainly the complexity of the logic: the number of conditions and instruments, how sophisticated the risk management is, how much backtesting and optimization is needed, and any custom indicators or integrations. Clear, well-defined rules keep the cost down.
