Forex Strategy Builder Professional v2.0
Hello dear users,
We are extremely proud to announce the release of Forex Strategy Builder Professional v2.0 . The biggest change in the program is the ability to export Expert Advisors for trading in MT4. The program also comes with an updated FSB-MT4 Bridge. There are numerous other issues fixed.
Release Note:
Forex Strategy Builder Professional exports strategies to MT4 Expert Advisors. The generated EA is fully functional and native mql4 code. You can see the code, compile, debug, run on a demo or real account and test it with the MT Strategy Tester.
FSB Pro installation includes the full source code files of the expert advisor and all included in the distribution indicators. You can export strategies as EAs only if you have all indicators the strategies use in mql code. If you use custom indicators, you have to provide also mql code for those indicators.
Exporting a strategy as Expert Advisor may be the only solution for the cases where you cannot use the FSB-MT4 Bridge.
Change log:
- Added Export Expert Advisor to MT4 command in File menu and on the main toolbar. It exports the current strategy as an EA with the same name to a predefined destination. You set the export destinations in Control Panel → Expert Advisor page.
- Added Save As Expert Advisor command. You can save the current strategy as an EA to a folder of your choice.
- Added Control Panel → Expert Advisor page. It contains the exporting settings.

Forex Strategy Builder Professional v1.5
Release Notes
Forex Strategy Builder Professional (FSB Pro) v1.5 comes with an updated expert advisor named – “FSB-MT4 Bridge”. The new expert replaces the one, which FSB used – “MT4-FST Expert”.
The expert advisor consists of two files “FSB-MT4 Bridge.mq4” and “FSB-MT4 Bridge.dll”. The files work the same way the old expert did. We decided to rename it so we can introduce new features, without the limitation of the legacy FST software.
We updated the program for automatic installation of the files mentioned above. We now call it “Bridge Installer”. It is included in the new FSB Pro distribution.
FSB Pro v1.5 and the further versions will connect to MT4 by using the new expert - “FSB-MT4 Bridge”. It will not be possible to use the old expert. However, the installation program does not delete the old expert because it is necessary for the legacy Forex Strategy Trader.
We forced FSB Pro v1.5 to use full installation in order to install the new MT4 Expert.
Changes in the new version:
- Renamed and updated expert advisor file names to “FSB-MT4 Bridge.mq4” and “FSB-MT4 Bridge.dll”.
- Renamed and updated program for automatic expert advisor – “Bridge Installer”.
- Trade Settings has become better. Now when you change the “Recommended Bars” option, the program refreshes the current connections. FSB Pro switches off currently auto trading connections for safe reasons.
- Fixed crash when user switches a strategy to Trader mode during loading of data with shorter periods.
- Many little fixes in the interface.
Please read the User Gide articles for installing and connecting FSB Pro to MT4.
