Dubai based Retail FX and CFDs broker DB Investing has announced the launch of the EA Algo Marketplace, a catalogue of 49 professional Expert Advisors for MetaTrader 5 that clients unlock using credits earned through normal trading account activity rather than cash purchases. The marketplace opens with a combined listed value of more than $11,990 and removes the subscription and license-fee model that has long governed how retail traders acquire algorithmic trading tools.

From paid subscription to earned credit

Retail traders have traditionally bought Expert Advisors from third-party vendors at €149 to €799 per strategy, often on recurring subscriptions and through payment relationships entirely separate from their broker. The EA Algo Marketplace replaces that with an earned-credit model: clients accumulate credits by completing steps they would take anyway, then spend them to unlock plugins priced at 1, 3 or 5 credit each. Once unlocked, a plugin remains in the client’s account permanently, with nothing to renew and no cash transaction at any point.

Seven earning paths, two requiring no deposit

Credits accrue across seven paths. Registration and KYC verification each earn one credit with no deposit required. The first deposit earns three credits; additional credits come from cumulative deposits, closed lots, DB Genius tier progression, and qualified referrals. Because volume and referral activity keep earning over time, active accounts keep unlocking more capacity.

EA Credits are separate from DB Genius Points, which are redeemed for gift cards, technology and travel; they are used only to unlock marketplace plugins. A client’s Genius tier does, however, increase the rate at which EA Credits are earned.

Forty-nine strategies mapped to instrument, timeframe and logic

The launch catalogue spans Trading (44 plugins), Analysis (3), Risk (1) and Automation (1), covering instruments including EURUSD, XAUUSD, NAS100, BTCUSD, USDCHF and USOIL. Strategies range from London session breakout capture and multi-timeframe EMA trend systems to SuperTrend flip detection, liquidity sweep reversals and session-hour momentum models. Each listing states its instrument, timeframe, strategy logic and community rating — currently 4.3 to 4.9 stars — so clients can filter by what they trade before committing credits.

Gennaro Lanza, Chief Executive Officer, DB Investing said,

“Traders have been paying subscription after subscription for tools they may only use on one instrument, from vendors who have no relationship with their broker. If a client is already trading with us, verifying their identity and building volume, the value they generate should come back to them as capability — not as another invoice.”

Delivered as a working file, installed in minutes

Each unlocked plugin is delivered as a working .exe file for MetaTrader 5 — not a demo, trial or time limited build. Installation follows the standard MT5 path: open the data folder, copy the file into the MQL5 Indicators directory, restart the platform and drag the plugin onto a chart. All plugins are built for MetaTrader 5; MetaTrader 4 is not supported. DB Investing recommends running any Expert Advisor on a demo account, using the recommended symbol and timeframe, before deploying it live.

Karthik Arumugam, Head of Marketing Operations, DB Investing said,

“An Expert Advisor is a rules-based program that applies the same logic at three in the morning as it does at three in the afternoon. It is not a profit guarantee, and it is not a substitute for position sizing and stop placement — we say so on the page itself, not just in a footer.”

Availability

The EA Algo Marketplace is live for DB Investing clients with a registered account. Registration and KYC verification are sufficient to begin earning credits; no deposit is required to start. Plugins run on MetaTrader 5 for Windows. Availability of specific plugins and earning paths may vary by jurisdiction, entity and account type.
