Version3.20updated
Philosopher is a gold Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5, published by Michael Arthur Schorr. The listing publishes no live signal, so there is no track record to measure here — the figures on this page stay blank until one is available.
- No live signal published on the listing
No performance data has been published for this product, so there is nothing here to measure. We do not publish estimated figures.

Download and pricing
Philosopher free download
There is a free download, and it is the demo MQL5 hosts on the listing itself. It is the full algorithm, restricted to the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester — you can backtest it on your own broker's history for nothing. What it cannot do is trade a live or demo account. That needs the paid version.

Both links go to the seller's own listing. We do not host, sell or distribute this software, and we do not have a copy of it. Anything offering a paid Expert Advisor as a free live download is pirated, unsupported, and a common way to get a trading account drained by a modified build.
How Philosopher trades
Read off the record rather than the sales page: how long it holds, which way it leans, and what market the figures actually describe.
Built around one market
Everything here is XAUUSD. A single-market record says nothing about how it behaves anywhere else, so read every figure below as being about XAUUSD alone.
What buyers say
Counted from the reviews MQL5 publishes on the listing. We count the subjects raised and the ratings given; we do not reprint the reviews.
What the marketplace scores it
5.00 out of 5 from 8 reviews on MQL5. That is a rating of the purchase — the seller, the support, the documentation — and only indirectly of the trading.
The rating, split three ways
MQL5 scores it 5.00 on description, 5.00 on reliability and usability, and 5.00 on support. Buyers rate reliability and usability lowest, which is the part the headline number averages away.
What buyers actually write about
Across the 8 most recent reviews, results and profit comes up most often — 3 of them mention it. None of the recurring subjects appears mainly in negative reviews.
How the recent ones split
Of the 8 reviews the listing serves, 4 rate it four stars or better and 0 rate it two and a half or worse. This is the most recent page rather than every review ever left, which means it describes the version on sale now.
Who maintains it
How recently it was touched, how long it has been sold, and what the marketplace record says about the seller.
Whether anyone is still working on it
Version 3.20, last updated 23 Sept 2026 — within the last month. A system still being touched is one whose author is still answering for it.
How long it has been on sale
Listed since 31 Aug 2026, about 2 months. A short listing history means the record you are reading has not been through much yet.
Who is behind it
MQL5 gives Michael Arthur Schorr its badges for “Sold more than 50 products”. Those count marketplace volume, not trading results — a seller can move a great many copies of something that loses money.
Philosopher: common questions
The four things people search for about this product, answered from the record rather than from the sales page.
Is there a Philosopher free download?
Yes — a free demo. Philosopher is sold on the MQL5 Market, and every listing there carries a demo you can download at no cost. It is the full algorithm limited to the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, so you can backtest it on your own broker history for nothing, but it will not trade a live or demo account. The full version is $299. MQL5 records 278 downloads of it. Anything advertising the paid version as a free live download is a pirated build — usually modified, always unsupported, and a common way to lose an account.
Does Philosopher have a live signal?
No. The Philosopher listing on MQL5 does not link a public live signal, which is why this page shows no equity curve and no performance figures. Without a signal there is no forward record to check, and we do not publish estimates in place of one. Treat any performance claim about it as unverified until the seller publishes a signal.
Is there a Philosopher backtest?
Not one from us, and deliberately. A backtest is run by whoever is selling the product, on history and settings they choose, and it can be tuned until it looks good — which is why a flawless backtest and a poor live record so often sit on the same page. This product has no live record to measure either, so there is nothing here to compare a backtest against. If you want a backtest, run your own: the free MetaTrader 5 demo does exactly that on your own broker's spreads, which is the only backtest whose assumptions you control.
Is there a Philosopher Myfxbook review?
Not that we can verify. Philosopher is not tracked on Myfxbook, and we will not point at a third-party page we cannot confirm belongs to this product — a name match is not proof. It publishes no MQL5 signal either, so there is currently no independently verified record of it trading anywhere. Reviews on the MQL5 listing itself rate the purchase — the seller, the support, the documentation — rather than the trading, which is what the measured figures on this page are for.
