Editorial Policy
Last updated: April 4, 2026
About SYSTEMTRADE.COM
We are a marketplace dedicated to forex automated trading (EAs), offering more than 200 EAs for MT4 and MT5 free of charge.
We also provide a backtest analyzer, published forward test results and comparisons of offshore forex brokers. Our aim is to give traders who do not know which EA to choose a place where they can look at the data and decide for themselves.
Three principles of our editorial policy
Reliability
We use only real trading data, official websites and regulator information as sources
Accuracy
EA data is managed with a double check: automated collection plus human review
Freshness
Forward tests update automatically with every trade; guide articles are updated whenever conditions change
Criteria for listing and rating EAs
EAs must pass a review before they are listed. After a vendor submits an application, we check the following.
- Whether the backtest period is long enough (to rule out short-term curve fitting)
- Whether drawdown and risk-reward ratio are within a practical range
- Whether there are signs of over-optimisation
Monitoring continues after a listing is approved. If forward test results diverge significantly from the backtest, we review the listing.
Rankings and listing order are decided by performance data alone. No advertising fee or partnership moves a position. Broker comparisons are likewise judged on objective measures such as spreads, execution quality and regulatory status.
How our content is produced
Writing and editing are handled by people with hands-on forex trading experience. Some team members can write EAs in MQL4/MQL5, so listed EAs are inspected at code level. Everything passes a review by the editor in charge before publication.
The figures shown on individual EA pages — profit and loss, drawdown, number of trades and so on — are collected automatically by our system and then checked by a person as well.
