How to Publish a Product
Products are published on the MQL5.community website. Open the Market and click "Add product".
For convenience, product details are added in a few stages. In the first step specify the basic information.
Title
The product name must begin with a capital letter and must be easy to understand for non-professionals. Only Latin characters and numbers are allowed. The length should not exceed 50 characters. Please do not use unreadable or short names. Also, do not insert the version number into the name and do not overuse abbreviations and acronyms.
Type
Select the application type: Expert Advisor, Indicator or Script. This is the physical type of the software. A purchased application is saved in the appropriate folder based on its type: Experts\Market, Indicators\Market or Scripts\Market.
Category
The category defines the essence of a product:
- Trading robot
- Technical indicator
- Panel for trade automation
- Libraries for expanding program functionality during development
- Analyzer for data research
- An assistant utility
Price
If you wish to offer your product for free, activate the appropriate option. Otherwise, specify at least one price:
- For unlimited use — the price for the full product version with an unlimited validity period
- 1, 3, 6 or 12 months' rent price — rented products have no limitations except for validity period
The minimum price for all products in the Market is 10.00 USD.
The Market service commission of 20% is charged on purchases. If the sold product price is 100 USD, the Seller receives 100 USD - 20% = 80 USD.
Therefore, take into account the commission when setting the desired product price.
Then specify the number of available activations. All programs downloaded from the Market are securely encrypted. This is to protect them from unauthorized use. Encryption is performed so that the product can be run only on the computer from which it is downloaded. The process of product binding to a computer is called activation. Every product on the Market is provided with at least 5 activations: one is used during purchase, the other four activations are additional. A seller may choose to increase the number of available activations. Find out more about the activations in the service rules.
Once you specify all the required data, you will be able to move to the next steps.

Each tab contains recommendations for product description design and links to useful articles. Be sure to review these materials. |
Logo and Description
Upload an image that will be the logo of your product. It should be two versions of the logo: a full-size picture 200 * 200 and a smaller one 60 * 60.
A logo is the face of your product. Prepare an attractive, high-quality image, which reflects the essence of your product and symbolizes your brand. The article Tips for an effective product presentation on the Market contains recommendations on how to prepare products.
Give the details about your product and operation features on the Description tab. Start with general information to immediately give an idea about the product, and then specify the particular operation and configuration features, add recommendations on trading conditions and describe the input parameters. If you cannot prepare a description in Russian, the Market service employees will add a translation for your product.
Screenshots and Product File
Add high-quality screenshots of your product that best demonstrate its operation. Please follow the requirements:
- Text in the screenshots should be in English.
- The required screenshot size is 640 * 480 pixels
- You can upload up to 12 images
Try not to scale the screenshots to preserve the readability of text.

A perfect complement to the product description is a video tutorial. Upload it to YouTube and add a link to it on the Screenshots tab. |
On the "Version" tab, upload the file of the product. You can upload only one compiled EX5 file. If a product requires custom indicators, sounds or images, add them to resources.

After completing the above stages send a product to the moderator for review.
The review procedure can take up to seven working days. If moderators have questions or comments to the operation of your product, they will add them in the "Moderator's comments" section. Make the required corrections and resubmit your product for review.
