| Aspect | Expert Advisor | Trading Bot |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | MetaTrader-specific automated program | Any automated trading software |
| Platform | MT4 / MT5 (MQL) | MT, cTrader, custom, exchange APIs |
| Scope | A type of trading bot | Umbrella term |
| Typical use | Forex, gold, CFDs | Forex, crypto, stocks, futures |
An Expert Advisor is simply a trading bot that lives inside MetaTrader. If you trade forex or gold on MT4/MT5, an EA is the natural, well-supported choice. If you need crypto exchanges or bespoke platforms, a broader custom trading bot is the right term.
Ask for an Expert Advisor when you trade on MetaTrader and want the most direct, broker-supported route.
Ask for a custom trading bot when you need non-MetaTrader platforms, exchange APIs or bespoke infrastructure.
Every Expert Advisor is a trading bot, but not every trading bot is an Expert Advisor. Zefinx builds both — MetaTrader EAs and custom API-based bots.
