Welcome to My MQL5 Trading Blog
Welcome to my official trading space. My approach to the markets is built on a single, fundamental pillar: capital preservation. In an industry often dominated by high-risk strategies, I focus on delivering profitable results through discipline and rigorous technical analysis.
My Strategy & Philosophy
I specialize in Forex Trading and Scalping, utilizing precision entry points to capitalize on market momentum. Unlike many commercial EAs, my logic is strictly against "luck-based" recovery systems.
I prioritize stability over reckless growth, ensuring a smooth equity curve, every position is protected by a strategic Stop Loss.
❌ No grid systems❌ No martingale✅ Controlled exposure✅ Structured entries and exits✅ Real market logic✅ Low Drawdown✅ Low Risk
Preferred Assets
I focus on high-liquidity instruments where price action is most reliable:
-
XAUUSD (Gold): My primary focus for volatility-based scalping.
-
EURUSD: For steady, trend-following opportunities.
-
US30 (Dow Jones): To capture institutional market moves.
My goal is to provide a sustainable trading environment where performance is measured by long-term consistency, not overnight gambles. Follow my blog for updates on my EA developments, backtesting insights, and live performance monitoring.
COMING SOON
I am testing and optimising a new EA that will perform scalping on XAUUSD. Although the initial tests are excellent in terms of profit, low risk and low drawdown, with a high percentage of trades closed at a profit, I am trying to improve it further. Before publishing it, I will test it on my live account, as I always do with all my EAsPublished Expert Advisors

This Drawdown monitor allows you to sleep relaxed and avoid blowing up your accountDon't lose more money than you had planned !

Drawdown monitor EA will constantly monitor every single open position and close it if the set safety limit is exceeded.
It is essential for all traders who use 'risky' EAs that may not have been thoroughly tested or which use dangerous martingale or grid strategies that could suddenly increase your drawdown, resulting in your account being blown out if you are not constantly present.
Or more simply, if you want an additional security when the risky EA is trading with real money and you are not sure that it uses truly reliable capital protection strategies.
The price of this Drawdown monitor EA is negligible compared to the loss you would suffer if your account were blown out.
Technical Description of Drawdown monitor EA
New powerful and useful monitoring functions have been added to this version of Drawdown monitor EA.
Above all, monitoring can be carried out for individual positions, which are closed individually when the set values are reached.
In addition, a total drawdown can be set which, if exceeded, closes all open positions.
An important option allows positions with a specific magic number to be excluded from the max. drawdown calculation. This allows general positions to be differentiated from those of a specific EA.
Drawdown monitoring is fast even if tick refreshing is slow, e.g., at certain times of the day or in situations of low market activity.
Drawdown monitor EA can be dragged either onto the chart you use for manual trading or onto a separate chart if another EA is already present (see screenshots).
The currency pair and chart timeframe are both irrelevant.
Using Drawdown monitor EA on Strategy Tester does not make sense.
