In reply to Andrew Dolder. It was insofar inspired as we wanted a product like RangerMaker, but with a different process and user interface.

Great post on the dev process. The part that always trips people up is translating their edge into an EA that actually respects prop firm rules — daily drawdown limits, position sizing, all that. I’ve been using Ratio X EA Generator to build custom EAs from my strategy specs without touching MQL5, and honestly it saved me weeks on my last two challenge phases. The Prop Firm Safe template was solid as a base, then I just refined the risk parameters through the generator until it matched my firm’s exact requirements. Have you found that most traders struggle more with the coding part or with actually defining their risk rules clearly upfront?

Was the Evaluation Shell inspired by RangeMaker?

In reply to Thomas Marquart Consulting. I am not permitted to tell since unlike ours, Pardo's process is not public.

That’s just my silly interpretation of things and not my business but the undertones does sound a bit like “those damn Germans coming in again with their fine machinery and ruining everything” to me. Thanks for the article.

In reply to Andrew Dolder. You can use different brokers for different assets, by editing their symbols in the asset list.

Johann, would this system normally operate on a single broker plugin at a time, or are there provisions for multi-plugin configurations?

The “financial hacker” angle resonates—I got tired of generic bots missing XAUUSD’s structural moves around support/resistance, so I built a custom scalper using Ratio X EA Generator instead of wrestling with MQL5 syntax. Described my exact entry logic, ATR-based stops, and prop firm drawdown limits in plain English, and the AI pipeline generated clean, backtestable code in minutes. The generated EA is solid and I own it outright—no subscription nonsense. Have you found any off-the-shelf algos that actually respect gold’s geopolitical volatility, or are custom builds the only way?
