About
Created by traders, for traders
The Trading Works is a small team of traders first and software specialists second — with 15+ years trading the markets and 11+ years building for MT4 and MT5. We help everyday traders turn clear manual rules into EAs, indicators and useful chart tools.
The Trading Works exists for traders who have a routine that makes sense to them but cannot spend every day watching a screen. We have spent more than fifteen years trading the markets ourselves, so we approach every project as a strategy question first and a software question second: what exactly do you look for, when do you act, and what should the software do for you?
You explain what you look for on the chart, and we help turn it into software.
We keep the process clear but thorough. First we assess the idea, challenge any missing or conflicting rules, and write down exactly what the EA or indicator should do. Once the scope is agreed, we provide a fixed quote, build to that specification and test it on the Forex pairs you choose.
We stay deliberately small, which means clear communication and realistic delivery dates. You receive updates and preview images instead of being left wondering whether the work has started.
We are also willing to say no. If an idea cannot be automated clearly, or if you do not have permission to change an existing product, we tell you before taking payment.

Made around your routine
You explain the chart conditions you already use. We turn those instructions into software that can keep watch while you are away from your desk.
Our promise
What you can expect from us
Clear agreement first
We define the rules, edge cases and expected behaviour in plain English before you approve the scope and price.
Careful testing
We test the agreed rules and send preview images of the software working on your chosen Forex pairs.
Simple delivery
You receive clear setup steps and help getting the files running on your charts.
No performance claims
We report test results as they are, including when they suggest the strategy is overfitted.
Scope
What we do not take on
- Decompiled files or code you are not licensed to modify
- Removing or bypassing licence protection on third-party products
- Signal services, managed accounts or profit guarantees
- Advice on what to trade, when to trade, or how much to risk
- Systems designed to mislead a broker or prop firm
Important risk notice
- We are purely a software development company. Nothing on this site is financial, investment or trading advice.
- We do not provide trading signals, manage accounts or promise guaranteed profits.
- We turn your own trading rules into software. You remain responsible for the strategy, how it is used and whether it is suitable for you.
- Backtests and historical results do not guarantee future results. Live trading can differ because of spreads, slippage and market conditions.
- We do not guarantee that custom software or any of our own products will be profitable.
- We do not work on decompiled software or code you do not have the right to modify, and we do not remove licence protection from third-party products.
- Test all software on a demo account before risking real money. Trading carries a substantial risk of loss.
