How much does an MT5 Expert Advisor cost in India?
What actually drives the price of a custom Expert Advisor, what the common starting prices are, and how to keep your own quotation tight.
The short answer
A custom MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor built from a clear written specification usually starts at around ₹14,000. Most custom trading software projects fall between ₹10,000 and ₹40,000. Where a project lands in that range depends almost entirely on how many decisions the software has to make — not on how profitable anyone hopes the strategy will be.
Starting prices for common projects
| Project | Starting from |
|---|---|
| MT4 to MT5 conversion | ₹10,000 |
| EA or indicator upgrade | ₹10,000 |
| Custom MT5 indicator | ₹12,000 |
| Custom Expert Advisor — MT5 | ₹14,000 |
| Telegram to MT5 bridge | ₹14,000 |
| TradingView to MT5 webhook bridge | ₹16,000 |
| Pine Script to MT5 conversion | ₹18,000 |
| Multi-symbol basket EA | ₹22,000 |
These are starting points, exclusive of GST. The final figure is always fixed in a written quotation before any payment.
What makes an Expert Advisor cost more
1. The number of conditions
Every entry condition, exit condition and filter is a decision the software makes on every tick or bar. Three clear conditions take far less time to build and test than fifteen that depend on each other.
2. Multiple timeframes or symbols
Reading data from several timeframes, or managing several symbols from one chart, multiplies the cases that have to be handled and tested.
3. Trade management
Trailing stops, break-even moves, partial closes, scaling in and recovery rules each add their own logic and their own edge cases.
4. Risk and time rules
Daily loss limits, maximum trades per day, equity floors, session windows and news-time handling are worth having — and each one has to be specified and tested.
5. Conversions and integrations
Porting a Pine Script, rebuilding MQL4 code for MT5, or connecting Telegram or a webhook adds work on both sides: the build itself, and the comparison against the original.
6. Deliverables
Source code, documentation, a video walkthrough or extended support are priced into the quotation when you ask for them.
What does not change the price
How much you plan to trade, which broker you use (within reason) and how confident you are in the strategy. A developer prices the work, not the outcome — and anyone who prices a build on promised results is selling something other than software.
How to keep your quotation tight
- Write every rule so it can be checked as true or false on a bar.
- List all the exits, not just the stop loss.
- Say which settings you want to be able to change yourself.
- Decide up front whether you need the source code.
Our requirement template (PDF) covers all of this, and the guide What to send when you ask for an EA quotation explains each point in detail.
One thing we will not do
We will not tell you whether your strategy is good. We build what you specify, test that the software does what the specification says, and make no statement or promise about profit, return or accuracy.
