Everything people ask before getting started.
QMS Trading is a set of Expert Advisors (automated trading robots) for MetaTrader 5. Gold Edition trades XAUUSD using a range-and-breakout approach with risk-based position sizing; Forex Edition trades multiple pairs using momentum signals with machine-learning-trained staged entries. Both run fully automatically on your own MT5 account — the software never touches your money directly, it only places trades through your broker.
There is no free trial — instead, full access starts at just $20 for an entire week, so you can prove it on your own account for less than the cost of one bad trade. Monthly ($49) is our most popular plan, and Yearly ($399) is the best value. Every plan is the complete EA with zero feature limits.
We accept cryptocurrency only — BTC, ETH, USDT and 100+ other coins — processed by NOWPayments, a major crypto payment provider. Create your account first, pick a plan from your dashboard, and you are redirected to a secure payment page. The moment your payment confirms on-chain, your account activates automatically and you get an email. No card details, no bank, no waiting for manual approval.
Yes — sign up first (takes about 30 seconds: name, email, MT5 account number, password). Your licence key and sync token are created instantly, and then you choose a plan from your dashboard. This way your purchase is tied to your account from the first second and activation is fully automatic.
The EA stops opening new trades and your download access pauses until you renew. Nothing happens to your trading account or any open positions — you always keep full control in MT5. Renewing while still active adds the new time on top of your current expiry, so you never lose days by renewing early.
Weekly includes 1 account, Monthly includes 2, and Yearly includes 6 — all at the same time, not one at a time. Add accounts yourself anytime from your dashboard's Account Info tab. Both Gold and Forex Edition can run simultaneously on the same account and only count as one — you get both .ex5 files with any plan.
No. Position size is never increased to chase a loss back — sizing always follows your configured risk settings. Forex Edition can scale into a position in stages as a setup develops, but stage sizing is set by you, and every position carries protective logic.
Yes \u2014 both editions include configurable daily-loss and max-drawdown guards built specifically to stay inside prop-firm challenge rules like FTMO. As a forex EA and gold EA in one account, you can run tighter risk limits during a challenge and loosen them once funded. Always confirm your specific firm allows EAs before running one on a challenge account.
The ML layer is trained on previous AND current real market outcomes — live trading results, not just backtest curves. In Forex Edition it learns per-pair entry distances that retrain daily; in Gold Edition it filters out lower-quality setups before they are taken. A symbol will not trade at all until enough real data exists for it.
A MetaTrader 5 account with any broker, and a Windows machine or VPS that stays on during market hours. A VPS is recommended so the EA runs 24/5 without depending on your home computer or internet connection.
Download the .ex5 from your dashboard, copy it into your MT5 Experts folder, allow our two WebRequest URLs in MT5 options, attach it to a chart, paste your sync token, and turn on Algo Trading. The full illustrated guide is on the How It Works page — most people are running in about 5 minutes.
The EA sends a status report to our server every 5 minutes with your balance, equity, and trade stats. Your dashboard shows "EA connected" whenever a report arrived in the last 5 minutes, and closed trades appear on the site automatically.
No. The EA runs inside your own MT5 terminal and only places trades through your broker — it cannot withdraw or transfer funds. The website sync token identifies your account for dashboard reporting only; it cannot trade, log in, or change anything.
Payments are processed entirely by NOWPayments on their secure checkout — we never see or hold your wallet keys, and no payment details are stored on our site. You send the exact amount shown, the blockchain confirms it, and your account activates automatically.
Three ways: the live chat bubble on every page (a real person replies), email at support@qmstrading.com, or the phone number in the site footer when available. Weekly-plan users get the same support as yearly clients.
No — and be wary of anyone who promises otherwise. Trading involves real risk, and past performance never guarantees future results. The EAs are built with strict risk management (hard stops, loss guards, no martingale), but you should only ever trade money you can afford to lose.
