Voyager EA Source Code

This page gives you the Voyager EA free source code, the .mq4 file itself and not a compiled robot you have to trust. The strategy behind it is Session open movements, written in plain MQL that you can read in one sitting.

• Platform: MetaTrader 4, a single .mq4 file
• Strategy: Session open movements
• Price: free, a free account is all you need
• Licence: study it, edit it and, if you want, rebrand it

In short, you get exactly the file we publish, and therefore nothing stops you from rebuilding any part of it.

How the Voyager strategy works

The open of a session brings volume, and volume brings the moves that a robot can actually trade. This one measures what happens in the first part of the session and takes its position from that, instead of trading a market that is asleep.

Because every condition has to agree before a trade opens, the robot passes on plenty of moves. That is the trade off it was built around.

What is inside the Voyager EA free source code file

• The session filter, with the hours that define each window.
• The risk block, with the lot sizing, the stop loss and the take profit.
• Finally, every input with its default value, so you can compare it against your own broker.

How to compile and run it

1. First, download the .mq4 file from the button at the end of this page.
2. Then open MetaEditor 4 from MetaTrader 4, with F4 or the editor button.
3. After that, save the file inside MQL4 and then Experts, and press Compile.
4. Finally, refresh the Navigator and drag Voyager onto a chart.
5. Run it on a demo account first, and read every input before you go live.

If the compiler complains, our guide on compiling MQL source covers the usual causes. In most cases it is simply a missing include or the wrong folder.

What you can change

Set the hours against your broker clock, not your own. A robot built for the London open does nothing useful if the server sits three hours away.

Before any of that, however, look at the risk block. After all, a good entry with the wrong lot size still empties an account, and therefore the sizing deserves the first pass rather than the last.

More robots like this one are in the free EA source code library, and the paid catalogue with documentation and support lives in the MT5 source code section. The idea behind the currency market is explained well on this reference page.

Questions about the Voyager EA free source code

Which platform is it for? MetaTrader 4, as a single .mq4 file.

Do I get updates? You get the file as it stands. Once it is yours, you improve it.

What pairs suit it? Start with the majors on a demo account, because they behave predictably while you learn the settings.

Can I reuse a part of it? Yes, and that is usually the best use of a free robot. Take the block you need and drop it into your own.
