About Templates
A template or framework handles the parts every EA needs, such as order sending, error handling, position sizing, trading hours and new-bar detection, so you can write only the strategy logic.
Check the licence before you build on one: some are MIT or GPL, and some have no licence at all, which means you have no clear right to reuse the code.
10 of these 86 EAs use grid or martingale logic and are marked High risk.
Before You Run One
- Check the licence before you reuse the code.
- Make sure it compiles on the current MetaEditor build.
- Read how it handles trade errors and requotes.
