Most MT5 projects fail budget expectations because scope is vague. Clear trading rules, risk logic, and testing requirements are the three biggest cost drivers.
What Decides MT5 EA Cost?
- Strategy complexity: Single-condition bots cost far less than multi-filter, multi-timeframe systems.
- Risk controls: Dynamic lot sizing, equity protection, and session rules add development effort.
- Testing depth: Backtest, walk-forward, and optimization reports require extra engineering time.

- Define entry, exit, and invalidation rules in plain language.
- Document lot-sizing and max drawdown constraints.
- Specify symbols, spread assumptions, and session windows.
