FAQ

It is a service that distributes and sells automated forex trading programs (EAs). Register as a member, open and fund an eligible forex account and get it verified, and you can use the free version of the matching EA.

You install and run the EA yourself in MT4/MT5.

Because we run on a model built together with our partner forex brokers. Part of the revenue we receive in line with your trading is returned to the vendors.

You never pay any extra cost beyond ordinary forex trading to use the service.

There are 3 main steps.

1. Register as a member (email address or Google account)
2. Open and fund an account with an eligible forex broker, then apply for account verification from My Account
3. After approval, download the EA and install it in MT4/MT5

SYSTEMTRADE.COM itself sets no minimum deposit.

The funds you need depend on the trading conditions of the forex broker you use and on the recommended margin of the EA you run.

We list EAs with a range of logics: scalping, day trading, swing, grid, averaging-down martingale, anomaly and more.

The number and types we carry change over time, so check the list page for the current line-up.

It is a list ordered by the forward test results of the EAs registered with SYSTEMTRADE.COM. You can compare records made by running them on the live market.

We evaluate EAs from their forward test results using the following metrics.

• Cumulative profit: the total profit the EA has earned
• Cumulative lots: the total lot volume the EA has traded
• Total trades: the number of trades the EA has executed
• Win rate: the share of winning trades out of all trades
• Profit factor: the ratio of profit to loss

You can switch between results by period, such as 3 months, 6 months and cumulative. That lets you compare short-term form and long-term stability separately.

It is a test in which an EA is run on the live market and its results are recorded.

To keep comparisons fair, SYSTEMTRADE.COM measures every EA at a uniform 0.01 lot. This limits differences caused by account size and makes EAs easier to compare with each other.

We update continuously as trades occur. The timing at which changes appear differs by page and by aggregation unit, so check the display on each page for its actual update status.

Monthly summaries are also published on the “[Monthly data] Forward test” page.

Use it as material for narrowing down the EAs that suit your own style, referring to past results and metrics.

The results shown are a record of the past and do not guarantee future performance.

Deposit into an eligible forex account and get it verified, and you can use the free version of the matching EA.

1. Register as a member of SYSTEMTRADE.COM
2. Open a new account with an eligible forex broker via SYSTEMTRADE.COM and deposit funds
3. Apply for account verification from My Account and receive approval

If you already hold an account, you need to open an additional account and deposit into that account.

There is no difference in EA logic or settings between the free and paid versions. Only the forex accounts you may use differ.

• Free version: use on eligible accounts
• Paid version: use on any supported account

If you want to run the EA on an account you already hold, choose the paid version. As long as it is an account with a supported forex broker, you can specify an account you are already using.

If you prefer the free version, open a new account with an eligible forex broker via SYSTEMTRADE.COM, deposit funds and complete account verification.

If you have several verified accounts, you can run the same EA on each of them.

Additional accounts can be applied for from My Account. For paid versions the handling of usable accounts differs by product, so check the product page before you buy.

Free-version EAs run on live accounts only. To run one on a demo account, use the paid version.

With the paid version you can specify a demo account number as the account in use and check how it behaves.

These products use password authentication. We issue a password that is valid only for the account number you submitted at purchase.

Account switching after purchase is not supported, so if you submit the wrong account number you will not be able to use the product. Please make sure the account number is correct when you apply.

EAs already in your hands keep running, but after you close your membership you can no longer receive the following support.

• delivery of EA version upgrades
• requests to change the account in use
• handling of any malfunction

To be covered by support again, register as a member once more and contact the vendor.

First, check the account type you applied with. Applications made with an unsupported account type are common.

Approval can also fail in the following cases.

• The account was opened from a link other than the designated one
• The referral information was not recorded because of browser settings (cookies and the like)
• The sign-up was interrupted partway through, or the page was reloaded

Use a different browser and complete the procedure to the end without interruption.

Usually from the same day to a few days. Because we have to check with the forex broker, it can take longer when we are busy or when the request spans a weekend.

Once approved, the status in My Account changes to “Approved” and you can start running the EA.

You can register and use several accounts. You can also run a different EA on each account.

Apply for additions from My Account. You can check the current status of accounts you may register on the My Account screen.

To use the free version you must open an additional account via SYSTEMTRADE.COM. An existing account cannot be verified as it is.

If you want to run the EA on an account you already hold, consider the paid version.

For the paid version, apply with the new account number under “Change account in use” in My Account and it switches over. Changes are limited to once every 24 hours, and you cannot re-apply immediately after a change.

If you want to run it at several forex brokers at once, consider an additional purchase or combining it with the free version.

Products marked “No account switching” cannot change accounts after purchase.

Place the EA file you downloaded into the MT4/MT5 data folder, then drag it onto the target chart to start it.

The manual explains the steps with screenshots.

Download it from the official site of the forex broker where you opened your account. Use the one from the same broker as the account you run the EA on.

An EA runs only while MT4/MT5 is open. It stops when you turn your PC off, so a VPS is the usual choice if you want it running 24 hours a day.

The specification you need depends on how many EAs you run and on your trading style.

First check the following on the MT4/MT5 side.

• Is “Auto Trading (Algo Trading)” switched on?
• Is the icon at the top right of the chart in the running state (smiley face)?
• Do the currency pair and timeframe of the chart you attached the EA to match the specification?
• Is your account verification set to “Approved”?

If it still does not run, please check the following items as well.

Check the URL permission setting in MT4/MT5.

1. Open [Tools] → [Options] → [Expert Advisors]
2. Add https://sys-tre.com/ to “Allow WebRequest for listed URL”
3. Restart MT4/MT5

If the above does not solve it, please get in touch through the contact form.

An EA places orders only when the entry conditions of its logic are met. No trades occur while those conditions are not met.

Please also check the following points.

• Are you inside the trading hours and days specified for that EA?
• Is your margin sufficient for the lot setting?
• Does the broker symbol name (suffix) match what the EA expects?

For details of the settings, see each product page and the vendor's description.

Enter the required information on the My Account page and press [Register].

A confirmation email arrives at the address you registered; complete the verification from the link inside it and you can start using the service.

Please check in this order.

• Was it filed into your junk mail folder?
• Is the email address you entered correct?
• Is it blocked by a reject setting or by domain-restricted receiving?

If that does not solve it, tell us the situation through the contact form.

Login with a Google account is supported. Other social accounts are not.

Even if you register with a Google account, account verification and purchase records are handled exactly as with email registration.

Apply for a reissue from “Forgot your password?” on the login page. A reset URL is sent to your registered email address.

If the email does not arrive, check your junk mail folder.

1. Open “Account details” on the My Account page
2. Enter the new password in the password change field
3. Save the change

Contact us through the contact form stating that you wish to close your membership.

For how EAs are handled after you close your membership, see also “Can I still use products I have purchased after closing my membership?”.

You cannot use the My Account page while you remain a non-member.

If you want to use My Account after purchase, please contact us. We will issue an account for you.

For the specification and settings of each EA you can contact the vendor store directly.

Open the vendor store from the EA list and use “Contact” to talk in chat form. The banner at the bottom of the product page reaches them the same way.

Please get in touch through the contact form. We check what you send and reply in turn.

For questions about account verification or purchases, telling us your registered email address and the account number concerned makes it faster.

Supported forex brokers and the account-opening steps for each are collected on the broker list page.

The account types eligible for the free version differ by broker, so also read the How to use page before you apply.
