Philosophy

I approach projects with a practical mindset, prioritizing reliability, compatibility, and long-term value. No black boxes. No hidden logic. Every product ships with source code (Pro+ tiers) and full documentation so you own the strategy.

Why Cox Services Exists

Most retail trading tools are either opaque "black boxes" or academic exercises with no real performance data. I built Cox Services to bridge that gap.

No hidden fees. No subscription lock-in. No "proprietary" algorithms you can't inspect. You get the code, the logic, and the data to make your own decisions.

Product Development Philosophy

How I build tools that survive real markets

Real Data, Not Backtest Curves

Every strategy is validated on tick data with realistic spreads, commissions, and slippage. No "perfect entry" assumptions. If it doesn't work in forward test, it doesn't ship.

Risk Before Reward

Position sizing, maximum drawdown limits, correlation filters, and cooldown logic are built into every EA — not optional add-ons. Capital preservation comes first.

Built to Last

Clean, modular MQL5 code following modern practices. No spaghetti logic. Easy to modify, extend, or audit. You're not buying a binary — you're buying maintainable software.

Multi-Platform Parity

Key strategies exist on both MT5 (execution) and TradingView (analysis). Same logic, same signals, different platform. Use TV for research, MT5 for live trading.

No Vendor Lock-In

No DRM, no license servers that can go dark, no forced updates. The code runs on your VPS, your account, your terms. Lifetime access to the version you purchased.

Continuous Improvement

Free updates for your tier. Bug fixes, compatibility patches, and feature enhancements based on real user feedback. The products evolve with the markets.

Journey So Far

From personal tools to a product lineup

  • 2018 — First EA

    Built my first Expert Advisor for personal use. Learned MQL5 the hard way — debugging on live charts at 3 AM.

  • 2020 — Infrastructure Automation

    Automated VPS provisioning, EA deployment, and monitoring with Ansible/Docker. Reduced setup from hours to minutes.

  • 2022 — TradingView Parity

    Ported core strategies to PineScript. Realized analysis on TV + execution on MT5 is the ideal workflow.

  • 2023 — Cox Services Launched

    Packaged 6 EAs, 2 indicators, 1 script with verified backtests, source code, and documentation. First customers onboarded.

  • 2024 — Market Data & News

    Integrated live forex prices (MarketAPI) and news feeds (FXStreet/Investing.com). Added sentiment analysis with COT data.

  • 2025 — Next Phase

    AI-assisted strategy research, expanded asset coverage, and community features. Building tools I'd want to use myself.
