The channel behind the site
Every free file on this site comes from one place: the Free Forex Ex4 Ex5 Telegram channel. The website is a searchable window onto it. This post explains what the channel posts, how the two fit together, and a few Telegram tricks that make the channel easier to use than the app suggests.
What the channel posts
- Compiled expert advisors: .ex4 for MetaTrader 4 and .ex5 for MetaTrader 5. These are the majority of posts.
- Indicators: arrows, dashboards, scanners, oscillators, also as .ex4 / .ex5.
- Occasionally sets and presets attached to an EA, and archives that contain several files.
Posts are files, not reviews. There is usually a name, sometimes a line of context, and the download. Nothing is sold in the channel, and there is no "join to unlock" step: it is a public channel.
How the website mirrors it
A job reads the channel's public feed every few minutes. Each new file becomes a row in the library, gets its own /ea/ page, and is sorted into any collection whose rule it matches. The site never copies the file: the "Get file" button is a link to the original post. Delete the post and the row disappears on the next pass. That design keeps the site honest and keeps it in sync without anyone uploading anything twice.
Telegram tricks worth knowing
- Search inside the channel. Open the channel, tap the search icon, type part of a file name. Telegram searches captions and file names, so "gold" or "scalper" finds posts even months back.
- Filter by files. In the channel profile, the Files tab lists every attachment without the chatter, which is the fastest way to scroll.
- Telegram Desktop for VPS work. Log in once on the VPS and files download straight into the machine that runs MetaTrader. The PC and VPS guide covers the alternatives.
- Mute, do not leave. The channel posts several times a day. Mute it and use the website to see what is new.
Requests and problems
If a file you want is not in the library, the channel takes requests through its contact, @WikiLeaksFx. The same contact handles takedown requests from authors and reports of broken files. Include the file name and, if you have it, the post link.
The obvious caution
Files come from many authors and none are verified by the channel or the site. Test on demo, read the demo guide, and if an antivirus objects to a compiled file, treat that as a reason to skip it. The channel is a library, not a recommendation list.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Telegram channel free to join?
Yes. It is a public channel with no paid tier. Every file it posts is listed and linked on this site as well.
How often are new files posted?
Usually several times a day. The website re-reads the channel every few minutes, so the library is rarely more than a few minutes behind.
Can I download without joining?
For public posts you can usually open the file directly from the link on the site. Joining makes it easier to search and to see new posts.
How do I request an EA?
Message @WikiLeaksFx on Telegram with the name. If it is posted, it shows up in the library automatically.
Who checks the files?
Nobody. Files are shared as received from the community. Test everything on a demo account first.
