About us
EV Trading Labs builds algorithmic trading tools for MetaTrader 5 and TradingView, and publishes the research we validate them with. This page explains what we do, how we check it and what you will not find here.
What we build
Our catalogue is made of tools we use ourselves before selling them:
- EV Quant Lab — a 100% local desktop application (Windows, macOS and Linux) for backtesting and quantitative research. Your strategies and data never leave your machine.
- Master of Liquidity and Master of Gold — MT5 Expert Advisors built around liquidity zones.
- EV Risk Manager, EV Prop Protector and EV Grid Manager — risk management and drawdown control, with a MODE_PROP that disables hedging and respects major prop firm rules.
- Replicator — copy trading between MT5 accounts, including across different brokers.
- EV Metrics — an account metrics dashboard.
What we publish for free
A good part of what we do is not for sale. It is published and openly accessible:
- Historical OHLCV data (M1, M5, M15, H1, H4, D1) for XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD and more, as .json.gz ready for backtesting. No login, no cost.
- TradingView indicators, published publicly.
- Position, risk, margin, pip and compounding calculators.
- Original studies on the blog: seasonality by day, month and session computed on real M1 data, gap-fill statistics and walk-forward validation.
How we work
The figures we publish come from real market data, not illustrative examples. When a study measures seasonality or gap fills, the sample is the asset's full M1 history, and the methodology is written into the article so you can reproduce it. When a strategy is validated, it is validated out of sample: a backtest optimised on its own data tells you nothing, which is exactly what our article on walk-forward optimization explains.
What we do not promise
We do not guarantee profits. Leveraged trading carries a risk of loss, including total loss of capital, and past results do not predict future ones. Our EAs and indicators are decision-support tools, not signals to follow blindly nor a substitute for your own judgement. Each user is responsible for their own trades. We do not manage third-party money and we do not offer personalised financial advice.
How we are funded
We sell software licences and training, with payments processed by Stripe. VAT is calculated automatically based on your country. We do not sell your personal data. If we ever display advertising or affiliate links, it will be identified as such.
Who is behind this
Enrique Valeros · Founder and developer
I started trading in March 2020, during lockdown: 6 years since then, first trading and very soon writing the software I needed to do it. Everything here is built in-house: the MQL5 Expert Advisors, the EV Quant Lab desktop application, and the pipeline that downloads and cleans the M1 data behind both the blog studies and the free downloads at /data.
