EA Installation Guide

Installing the EA

Once the EA appears in your Market tab:

1. Drag the EA onto the desired chart. (XAUUSD 1H if you use the .set file provided)

2. Open the Inputs tab.

3. Click Load, then load the provided .set file
   👉 (you will find it at the bottom of the page).

After loading the .set file, only one essential step remains:
correctly setting the EA trading time.

Time Settings (Mandatory)

The EA must be synchronized with the London market open, which is:

09:00 UTC 0

You must adjust this time according to:

• Your VPS timezone

• Or the machine where the EA is running

To do this, identify your machine’s timezone and add or subtract the offset from UTC 0.

Example

📍 Tokyo = UTC +9

Entry Time:

• 09:00 (UTC 0) + 9 hours = 18:00

• ➜ Enter 18 in the entry time input

Exit Time:

• 21:00 (UTC 0) + 9 hours = 06:00

• ➜ Enter 06 in the exit time input

⚠️ Important (v1 Notice)
In some cases, crossing midnight may cause issues.
If this happens, please contact the developer.

How the EA Works

The EA is designed to be simple, disciplined, and risk-focused.

• It opens a maximum of one trade per day.

• Depending on market volatility, it may open 0 or 1 trade per day in order to avoid ranging or unfavorable conditions.

---

Trade Entry

• At the defined opening time, the EA analyzes the market.

• Trade direction (Buy or Sell) is determined through a voting system based on the built-in indicators.

• If conditions are not strong enough, no trade is opened.

---

Trade Exit

There are two possible exit methods:

1. Take Profit / Stop Loss

• The position closes automatically when TP or SL is reached.

2. Time-Based Closure

• If neither TP nor SL is hit, the trade closes automatically at the predefined market closing time.

---

Risk Management & Prop Firm Protection (FTMO)

The EA includes several risk protection mechanisms, mainly designed to comply with prop firm rules such as FTMO:

• Daily loss limit

• Weekly loss limit

• Monthly loss limit

• Daily loss control influencing the maximum allowed lot size

These protections help prevent violations of prop firm trading rules.
