Pricing
The lifetime license costs $399 for a single copy. We can use subscription options. The one-month subscription costs $120 when three-month costs $250 (save 31%). We can download the system for free to check it on the terminal. MQL5 doesn’t support any kind of money-back guarantee. So, the deal is final.
