Our ranking criteria
- Live track record ≥ 2 years — verified on Myfxbook or MQL5 signal.
- Profit factor ≥ 1.4 on real-tick backtest with realistic spreads.
- Max DD < 20% at the rated risk per trade.
- No martingale / no grid — ever. Disqualifying.
- Active developer shipping updates in the last 90 days.
All fifteen flagships clear this bar. Anything that doesn't never ships — we'd rather maintain a small catalog of proven systems than pad the lineup with unverified ones.

Frequently asked questions
What qualifies as 'best'?
Real live track record, disciplined risk, transparent stats. We're not ranking by marketing claim — we're ranking by what's survived 24+ months of actual market.
Are these the only good EAs on MT5?
No. The MQL5 Market has thousands of EAs and a handful of others are genuinely good. The Expert Advisor HQ catalog is deliberately small — only systems we've personally verified live make the list.
Can I run more than one at a time?
Yes — carefully. The fifteen flagships trade different instruments (XAUUSD vs EURUSD vs indices vs portfolio) and different logics (trend vs ML vs SMC vs mean-reversion vs grid), so correlation is naturally low. Still, use the correlation heatmap tool before stacking and cap total risk to 1.5% per open trade.
