MQL5 Cloud Network: A technological breakthrough in trading strategy testing

Since its launch, MQL5 Cloud Network has completed more than 16 billion tasks. This figure shows how many times users have tested their trading strategies. Every day, the network enables algorithmic traders to run calculations on tens of thousands of computers worldwide with just a few clicks, without having to wait for results on a local machine.

Millions of parameter combinations for trading robots can be easily tested through the network. Users gain instant access to thousands of cores, while the network automatically distributes tasks and all necessary calculation parameters. Results are available within minutes:



We have recently upgraded the entire MQL5 Cloud Network infrastructure to enhance its performance:

  • Added new servers and upgraded existing ones for better agent registration and task distribution. The network now operates through 7 points located worldwide. Improved load balancing enables more efficient task management and distribution. The optimized geographical coverage has reduced network latency during calculations.
  • The total network bandwidth increased to 60 Gbps. The network ensures fast data transmission between traders and agents performing tasks. The bandwidth of each network node is displayed next to its name in the strategy tester.
  • Improved historical data cache. With the optimized "hot cache" on servers, agents receive required testing data faster, which in turn speeds up the overall testing process for traders.
  • Slow agents have been excluded. The network no longer accepts agents running under virtualization systems. This restriction has been introduced to avoid calculation slowdowns caused by dishonest participants.

Currently, the network includes approximately 50,000 fast and active agents, enabling the efficient execution of very complex and time-consuming computations. You can even conduct scientific research using the strategy tester's special fast mathematical mode and OpenCL support.

Speed up your calculations through the MQL5 Cloud Network and develop strategies faster without having to prepare infrastructure or wait for results.

When you perform everyday activities on your computer, most of its computing power remains unused. Install testing agents and earn by renting out these idle resources:

  1. Download MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester Agent
  2. Install agents in the Services section by clicking "Add" — no configuration needed
  3. Specify your MQL5.com account in the MQL5 Cloud Network section to receive payments



All further operations of your installed agents will be automatic. The network will distribute tasks, collect results, and transfer payments for the completed work to your account daily. Monitor your agent operations using a detailed report. Join MQL5 Cloud Network and start earning.
