Why is the minimum license $499? Why not cheaper?

$499 is the Major pack for Trendopedia AI — our most conservative low-frequency strategy. It deliberately matches the smallest live account that makes economic sense in MT5 (~$500). If you do not have $500 for a real account, the right path is the Strategy Tester demo or live demo via a partner — both free, both unlimited.

What is the difference between Global / Major / Cross / Metall / Crypto?

Global is a Lifetime license that includes every instrument the bot supports — current and future. Major / Cross / Metall / Crypto are 1-year licenses that focus on a specific instrument slice. Exact pair lists in each slice depend on the bot — they are listed on the bot's product page.

Lifetime vs 1 year — what happens after a year on a standard pack?

On standard packs you can renew, upgrade to Global, or switch to a different family. Your account history, settings and analytics stay in the portal regardless of the license state.

What does the license actually limit — 3 vs 10 connections?

The license does not bind to a specific trading account. It limits the number of concurrent active connections from running bot instances to our licensing server — 3 for standard packs (Major / Cross / Metall / Crypto) and 10 for Global. A connection is simply one running bot instance authenticated against your license. Demo or real, any broker, any account holder name — the type of account is irrelevant. You can freely swap which instances are connected; the only constraint is that the simultaneous count stays within your pack limit.

Why is payment crypto-first?

Working with traditional card processors in the regulated financial space is heavy bureaucratic friction across jurisdictions. Crypto and Wise let us serve traders worldwide without that overhead. If neither works for you, write to support — we will arrange an alternative.

Why will there never be a subscription model for Scalperology / Breakopedia / Trendopedia?

These are our original flagship strategies — mature, battle-tested systems built when we designed the licensing infrastructure around one-time purchases. Licenses for these bots are generated exclusively as 1-year or Lifetime keys; our server has no subscription billing path wired for them. That is a deliberate architectural decision, not a gap we plan to close. It will not change. Want a predictable cost floor — buy Lifetime. Want to trial for a year first — buy the 1-year pack and upgrade when ready. Future products and AI-analytics services may ship with subscription options, but the flagship line is and will remain one-time license territory.

What is included in updates, and what is not?

Strategy logic updates, AI-model retraining, .set parameter releases, infrastructure upkeep, transparent analytics access, and human + AI support are all included for the license term. Brand-new bots launched as separate products are not included — those are independent licenses.

Built by trader-developers

Tens of thousands of dev hours, one personal vision

“I am a developer first, a trader second. This whole project follows my own vision of what a serious algo-trading toolkit should look like in 2026 — not a marketplace stunt, not a one-shot bot file. I build because I genuinely enjoy the engineering side of trading, and I share the result because hiding it would be wasteful.”

William Harris

Founder · FxRobotEasy

Our vision About the team Founder — William Harris

Every component you see — the bots, the cloud optimizer, the analytics, the AI assistant, the installer, the support flow — is wired together as one system. You are not buying a bot; you are plugging into that system.

Why we charge

Four concrete reasons your license is not free

We spent years building this. Each pillar below is a real, ongoing cost we carry so that your day-one experience is short, useful, and honest.

Multi-currency adaptive strategies

Every trading system ships multi-instrument by default and continuously adapts via the cloud strategy optimizer — no manual .set juggling on your side.

Strategy Optimization

Documented funnel, not a maze

Every step from first install to first live trade is documented and instrumented. If you genuinely want to learn algo-trading, the time-to-value is hours, not weeks.

See the install path

Human + AI support that knows your account

Our AI assistant is wired into your trading data, logs and licenses. It can give specific, actionable advice — and a human operator is one click away when it matters.

Open support

An ecosystem, not a single product

Adaptive AI, cloud optimization, transparent analytics and expert telemetry are wired into one coherent flow. The license is your entry ticket to all of it.

All services

What you plug into

Your call

Two honest paths into the platform

Pay nothing if you are happy trading on a partner-broker account. Pay for a license if you want zero strings attached. Both unlock the same ecosystem.

Buy a license

One-time purchase, any MT5 broker, any account holder. No partner attachment, no broker lock-in, no commission share.

See license families

Free via partner

Open a real account through our partner link and use the bot for free. Same software, same updates, same support — the partner shares trading commission with us, you pay nothing extra.

How partner-free works

We make it work for whichever model fits your account size and preference.

Pricing model

Five license families per bot

We do not run a license calculator any more — usage data showed almost no one bought through it. Today every bot exposes the same five families. Exact prices and exact pair lists live on each bot's product page.

Pricing anchors: from $499 (Trendopedia AI · Major — the cheapest license on the platform), from $999 for every other bot's Major. Global packs are priced separately per bot.

Family	Instrument scope	Term	Concurrent accounts	Notes
Global	Every instrument the bot supports	Lifetime	10 accounts Any mix of demo and real	Lifetime access to every pair the bot ships now and in the future.
Major	Major pairs subset (per bot)	1 year	3 accounts Any mix of demo and real	Entry-level pack. Trendopedia AI · Major is the cheapest license on the platform.
Cross	Cross pairs available on the bot	1 year	3 accounts Any mix of demo and real	Cross-currency exposure for portfolios that already cover majors elsewhere.
Metall	Metals available on the bot (e.g. XAUUSD)	1 year	3 accounts Any mix of demo and real	Gold and metals slice — separate from the FX-pair packs.
Crypto	Crypto pairs available on the bot	1 year	3 accounts Any mix of demo and real	Crypto-only slice for bots whose strategy supports digital-asset pairs.

Reality check

Why $999 and not $9990?

Not a philosophical answer — an engineering one. We counted the minimum hours it actually takes to build each layer of this platform at the lowest defensible market rates. The total is over 10,000 hours of dedicated engineering. Here is where those hours went:

Layer	Min. hours
4 AI Expert Advisors (MQL5 + ML integration, multi-symbol, risk engine)	~3,200 h
BotControlCenter — CRM, licensing, analytics, AI signals, support portal	~3,800 h
3 websites × 11 locales (eco / www / edu) + full SEO infrastructure	~1,700 h
Infrastructure: quote relay, DevOps, monitoring, Windows services	~1,300 h
Total	~10,000 h

Minimum freelance rate on Upwork for MQL5 / full-stack / DevOps: $40/h.
Conservative: 10,000 h × $40 = $400,000 in pure dev time.
Mid-market (average specialist rate): 10,000 h × $80 = $800,000.
A $999 license is ~0.12% of the conservative upper bound. We price for access, not for cost recovery on every seat.

All hours above are minimum defensible estimates — real build time was higher. Freelance rates sourced from Upwork mid-2025. DC electricity based on US average commercial rate ($0.068/kWh, EIA 2024) × PUE 1.45 overhead ≈ $0.10/kWh all-in.

What the money actually buys

Concrete things that run on your behalf

These are not marketing bullets — they are line items we cover so your trading account does not have to.

Strategy and AI updates

Continuous .set releases and AI-model retraining flow into your installation automatically.

~$240/month data-center electricity

Just the electricity bill of the optimization grid running 24/7 — ~2.5 kW continuous at the US average commercial rate of $0.07/kWh (EIA 2024), adjusted for datacenter PUE overhead. Hardware, ops, and monitoring sit on top of this.

Support: humans + an AI that reads your account

An assistant integrated with your trades, logs and licenses; human operators where it matters.

Transparent analytics

Verified share-links, public rating, real numbers — wins and losses both. No fake screenshots.

An installer that does the boring parts

Detect MT5 terminals, deploy the bot, isolate environments, push updates — without you babysitting it.

Who this fits

Honest about who should and should not buy

If your account is below $500

$499 ≈ a sane minimum live deposit on MT5. If you do not have $500+ to fund a real account, buying a license is the wrong move. The right move is the free Strategy Tester demo, the live demo through a partner broker, and earning trading capital elsewhere first.

How to earn with us before funding

If you run $50k–$500k or institutional capital

Roughly under 10% of our users — but a real segment. Algorithmic execution at that size needs reliability, telemetry and white-label options. We support that, including custom White-Label arrangements.

White-label and partnerships

You do not buy a cat in a bag

Test the entire system before paying

Every flow — install, configure, analytics — is fully usable on a demo account, with one bounded exception: live execution requires a license or the partner-free path.

Strategy Tester (MT5)

Backtest the bot on your own MT5 — historical data, full system, no time limit, no broker.

Live demo

Trade on a real-time demo account at any broker. Same bot, same updates, same dashboards.

What we tried, what is coming

Other purchase models — straight talk

License calculators are gone

We tried per-pair / per-account calculators. Conversion was poor — buyers wanted clear packs, not knobs. We removed them.

Subscriptions on flagship bots: never

Scalperology AI, Breakopedia AI and Trendopedia AI will always be one-time license purchases. No vendor lock-in on those flagships.

Subscriptions on future products: maybe

Some upcoming bots and AI-analytics services may ship with subscription plans. The current product line stays one-time-license.

Payment methods

Crypto-first, by deliberate design

We pay attention to two things: your money landing safely, and our team not drowning in bureaucracy. Crypto wins on both. Wise covers most of the rest. Edge cases — talk to support.

Primary method

Cryptocurrency

BTC, ETH, USDT and the usual majors.
No regional restrictions, low fees, instant settlement.
Privacy-respecting and borderless.

New to crypto?

We made a free mini-course covering wallet setup and your first transaction. Forty minutes of reading, and you are ready to pay anything online without cards.

Start crypto mini-course

Fallback

Wise (bank rail)

When crypto is out of reach, Wise covers most jurisdictions. Slightly slower than crypto, but predictable and traceable.

Neither works for you?

We have arranged invoices, OTC handovers and partner payouts for users in unusual jurisdictions. Write to support — we will figure something out.

Contact support

We do not run a bank-card gateway as a primary path. The cost of staying compliant for cards in the financial-software space distorts product decisions, and that price ends up on your invoice. We refuse that trade-off.

30-day money-back guarantee

Try the platform risk-free. If it is not a fit, request a refund within 30 days — full amount, no interrogation.

No questions asked

Full refund

Friendly support

Read full refund policy

We are traders too. If it is not a fit, we will part as friends.

30-day money-back guarantee — the fine print

Try risk-free. If you are not satisfied, get a full refund within 30 days. We are traders, not wizards — if it is not a fit, we will part as friends.

License terms

Personal, non-transferable, valid for the selected accounts and instruments; works with any MT5 broker / server; fair-use applies.

Risk warning

Trading involves risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. No capes, no magic buttons — just tools and data.

Not financial advice

Educational and informational only. You make the decisions, and the profits or losses.

Refund policy (30 days)

Full refund within 30 days of purchase if you are not satisfied. Excludes obvious abuse (e.g., mass key sharing). Talk to us — we are reasonable humans.

For full legal details, see our EULA, Refund Policy, and Risk Disclosure.

Why we sell at all

A note from the founder

I had a personal goal — build a serious, useful environment for algo-traders in a market saturated with noise and outright scams. I am not interested in repeating that pattern. My interest sits at the intersection of engineering and trading, and I genuinely enjoy the work. Doing this scale of project for free would be less interesting, less sustainable and frankly less honest. Think of it as a street musician with a hat — they sing because they love it, but tipping the hat is what keeps the song going. In our case, the hat is the license. The song is the platform. I take on the complexity of integrating everything; you get bots that actually work.
