Custom MT4 & MT5 indicator development
Proprietary indicators that plot exactly the logic you trade, from a single idea to a full multi-signal system.
MQL4 & MQL5 development
Custom MT4 & MT5 development, built by a team that trades and codes.
You bring the strategy or the idea. Hire an experienced MQL5 developer to turn it into a clean, tested indicator or Expert Advisor for MetaTrader, with the scope agreed and the price fixed before a single line is written.
Free scope and estimate · No obligation to proceed
Your idea
The system you've been refining for years shouldn't die in a notebook.
You've watched it work. You've traded it by hand, sized it by feel, and thrown out the setups that never played out. The only thing standing between that idea and a system that trades while you sleep is the code, and the code is the part we do.
Your idea never leaves this desk
We don't resell client work, reuse your logic in our own products, or ship a variation of it to the next trader who asks. The code is yours, the rights are yours, and you own it outright the day we deliver.
NDA signed on request · No fee · Before you tell us anything
Our guarantee
You approve the plan. We deliver it, or you don't pay.
The scope is written down and agreed before we start. If what we hand over doesn't match it, you get every dollar back.
Think it. Build it.
No idea is too complex for us. If you can think it, we can build it.
From a first sketch to a live, tested system on MetaTrader. Whatever you can describe, we turn into working code that does exactly what you scoped.
- You describe the idea
- We scope it in writing
- We build and test it
Services
What we build
Six things we do well, for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. If your project doesn't look like one of these, describe it in the form anyway. We'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit.
Custom Expert Advisor development
Fully automated EAs built to your rules: entries, exits, position sizing, and risk controls, coded to spec.
Turn your strategy into an EA
Have a strategy that works by hand? We turn your trading strategy into an EA you can backtest and run on demo before it sees real money.
Indicator to EA automation
Automate an existing indicator so it trades or alerts on its own signals, with no more watching charts.
TradingView / Pine Script to MetaTrader
Pine Script to MQL5 or MQL4, rebuilt natively rather than wrapped or emulated.
Modify, fix & optimize existing code
Improve, extend, or debug an EA or indicator you already own, including MT4 to MT5 conversion.
Process
How it works
Every project in our MQL5 programming service runs the same three steps. No hourly billing, no bidding war, no surprises.
01
Brief
You submit your idea using the project form. The clearer your rules, the faster and tighter the estimate.
02
Scope & fixed price
We review it and reply with a defined scope of work and one fixed price. No hourly surprises, no bidding.
03
Build & deliver
Once you approve, we build, test, and deliver a working .mq4/.mq5 file ready to run in your terminal.

Fixed price
you know the deliverable and the cost before work starts
Keenbase is not a pass-through agency reselling other people's work. Our forex EA development service is run by the same team that has spent a decade shipping indicators and Expert Advisors on the MQL5 marketplace.
Honest scope
What we don't take on
We keep the work focused so we can do it well. We don't build:
- “Guaranteed profitable” or holy-grail systems. No honest developer can promise market results.
- Martingale or unlimited-grid recovery systems designed to hide risk.
- Signal-selling or account-management services.
- Decompiling, cracking, or bypassing protection on another developer's product. We respect the work behind every tool.
- Anything that violates broker or MetaQuotes terms.
If your project is a genuine trading tool, indicator, or automation, it's a fit for our MetaTrader programming service.
Step 01: Brief
Hire an MQL5 developer
Custom EA development, indicators, conversions: tell us what you're trying to build. The more detail you give on your rules and platform, the faster we can scope it and send a fixed price.
Before we review your brief
To keep the code quality, testing, and post-delivery support at the level our clients expect, we take on custom development projects with a budget of $500 or more. There is no charge for sending this brief; this simply helps us make sure the project is a good fit.
Got it, your brief is in.
We'll review it and reply with a scope and fixed price, usually within 1 to 2 business days.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire an MT4 or MT5 programmer?
Every project is quoted individually with one fixed price based on the scope, complexity, and timeline. Projects start from $500. You get the full price and deliverables in writing before any work begins.
What is delivered at the end?
A working, tested .mq4 or .mq5 file (indicator or EA) ready to
load in MetaTrader, built to the scope we agreed.
Do you work from just an idea, or is a written spec required?
Either works. A clear written spec speeds things up, but a well-described idea, including your entry rules, exit rules, and instruments, is enough to scope from.
Can you convert a TradingView / Pine Script strategy to MetaTrader?
Yes. Converting TradingView to MT4 or MT5 is one of the most common jobs we take. We rebuild the Pine Script logic natively so it backtests and runs like any other MetaTrader tool, rather than bridging it.
Can you fix or improve an existing EA?
Yes, provided we can work with the source. Modifications, optimization, and bug fixing are part of the same Expert Advisor programming service, and that includes moving an older MT4 EA over to MT5.
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope. We give an estimated timeline together with the fixed price so you know before you commit.
Will you guarantee the strategy makes money?
No, and be cautious of anyone who does. Custom forex robot development is engineering, not prediction. We guarantee the code does exactly what we scoped. Market performance depends on the strategy itself.
