STEP 2 - MONEY MANAGEMENT

When Auto Money = true, the EA automatically adjusts lot sizes based on your account balance:

Account Balance Base Lot Max Lot
Under $1,200 0.01 0.05
$1,200 - $2,000 0.01 0.08
$2,000 - $2,500 0.01 0.10
$2,500 - $3,000 0.01 0.12
$3,000 - $3,500 0.01 0.15
$3,500 - $4,000 0.02 0.20
$4,000 - $4,500 0.02 0.20
$4,500 - $5,000 0.02 0.25
$5,000+ 0.02 0.30

Manual Mode

Set Auto Money = false to use your own lot sizes:

  • Lots = base lot size for the first order (and first 7 grid orders)
  • Max Lots = maximum lot size the EA will ever use

Profit Targets

  • Daily Profit Target (%) = Set to less than 100 to close all trades and stop when daily profit reaches this % of balance. Set to 100 to disable.
  • Monthly Profit Target (%) = Same logic for monthly target. Set to 100 to disable.
  • Maximum Loss (%) = Emergency close all orders when loss reaches this % (default: 15%)

STEP 3 - GRID SETTINGS

These parameters control how the grid of orders is built:

Parameter Default Description
Max Orders 8 Maximum number of grid orders
Space (Point) 65 Distance between grid orders in points
Max Slippage 15 Maximum allowed slippage in points
Max Spread 40 Maximum spread - EA will not trade above this
Percent Risk 10.0 EA stops new entries when negative free margin exceeds this %

Orders same Lots = 7 (first 7 orders use the same base lot size, then Fibonacci scaling begins)

Order Density = 7 (minimum bars between entries - higher value = fewer orders)

Additional Space = 40 points (extra spacing added from the 8th order onward)


STEP 4 - TAKE PROFIT SETTINGS

Take profit is calculated based on the weighted average entry price across all grid orders:

Condition Default TP Description
1 order open 50 points Minimum take profit for a single position
2 orders open 50 points Take profit when exactly 2 orders exist
3+ orders open 37 points Average + Take Profit for larger grids

The EA draws a yellow dashed line (average entry) and a green dash-dot line (TP target) on the chart.


STEP 5 - TRAILING STOP CONFIGURATION

AuricFlow has three independent trailing stop mechanisms that work simultaneously:

Trailing All Orders (Grid-wide)

Tracks the total profit of the entire grid and closes ALL orders when profit retraces from its peak.

Parameter Default Description
Trailing All Order true Enable/disable
Pointstart All 50 Points above TP threshold before trailing activates
PointStep All 50 Points of retrace from peak to trigger close

How it works: Once total grid profit exceeds TP + Pointstart (e.g., 37 + 50 = 87 points), the EA tracks the peak profit. If profit drops by PointStep (50 points) from the peak, all orders are closed.

Trailing End Order (Last order)

Trails only the most recent (last) grid order individually.

Parameter Default Description
Trailing End Order true Enable/disable
Pointstart End 200 Points profit before trailing starts
PointStep End 100 Trailing step distance
Ordertrailing End 6 Minimum orders before this trailing activates

Trailing First Order (First order)

Trails only the oldest (first) grid order individually.

Parameter Default Description
Trailing First Order true Enable/disable
Pointstart First 100 Points profit before trailing starts
PointStep First 100 Trailing step distance

This activates when 2 or more orders exist.


STEP 6 - SUPERTREND ENTRY SIGNAL

The SuperTrend indicator is built into the EA (no external indicator needed).

Parameter Default Description
SuperTrend Period 66 ATR calculation period
SuperTrend Multiplier 2.236 Band width multiplier (Fibonacci-based)
SuperTrend Mid Price Period 10 Period for mid-price calculation

Entry Logic:

  • BUY Signal: SuperTrend was bearish, then turns bullish for 3 consecutive confirmed bars
  • SELL Signal: SuperTrend was bullish, then turns bearish for 3 consecutive confirmed bars

The SuperTrend confirmation bars parameter (default: 3) in the Safety section controls how many bars must confirm the new direction before entry.

Important: Do not change SuperTrend parameters unless you have backtested your own values. The defaults are optimized for XAUUSD M1.


STEP 7 - SESSION FILTER

Control which trading sessions the EA is active during (all times in GMT):

Session Hours (GMT) Default
Sydney 21:00 - 07:00 ON
Tokyo 23:00 - 08:00 ON
London 07:00 - 17:00 ON
New York 12:00 - 22:00 ON


Friday Exit

The EA can automatically close all positions on Friday before the weekend:

  • Exit Hour on Friday (GMT): 8 (default)
  • Exit Minute on Friday: 0 (default)

This means all orders close at 08:00 GMT on Friday. Adjust based on your broker's server time offset.


STEP 8 - NEWS FILTER CONFIGURATION

Activation

Set Use News Filter = true to enable live economic calendar filtering.

How It Works

  1. The EA fetches the weekly economic calendar from the FairEconomy API every 4 hours
  2. It filters events by currency (default: USD) and impact level
  3. Trading pauses 50 minutes before and resumes 120 minutes after each matching event
  4. If the API is unavailable, a built-in fallback detects major events (NFP, FOMC, CPI, GDP, ECB Rate)

Impact Levels

Parameter Default Description
High Impact true Filter high-impact events (NFP, FOMC, etc.)
Medium Impact false Filter medium-impact events
Low Impact false Filter low-impact events

Timing

Parameter Default Description
Pause Before News (mins) 50 Stop trading X minutes before event
Start After News (mins) 120 Resume trading X minutes after event
Currencies USD Comma-separated list of currencies to filter


News Display on Chart

Parameter Default Description
Show News Box true Show countdown box in bottom-left corner
Show News Lines true Show vertical lines on chart at event times
Show News Text true Show event description text on chart
Number of News 5 How many upcoming events to display
Background Color Black News box background color

Color coding:

  • Red lines/text = High impact events
  • Orange lines/text = Medium impact events
  • Yellow lines/text = Low impact events

WebRequest Setup (REQUIRED)

You MUST add the news URL to your platform's allowed list:

MT4/MT5: Tools > Options > Expert Advisors > Allow WebRequest for listed URL > Add:

https://nfs.faireconomy.media

Without this step, the news filter will use only the built-in fallback calendar.


STEP 9 - SAFETY & RISK CONTROLS

These are the most important settings for protecting your account. The defaults are conservative and recommended for most users.

Emergency Equity Drawdown (PRIORITY 1)

Parameter Default Description
Max Equity Drawdown (%) 15.0 Close ALL positions and STOP EA if equity drops by this %

This is the ultimate safety net. If your equity drops 15% below balance, every position is closed immediately and the EA stops trading. The EA must be restarted (remove and reattach) to resume.

Emergency Stop Loss

Parameter Default Description
Emergency SL per order (points) 300 Hard stop loss on each individual order (0 = disabled)

This protects against catastrophic loss if the platform disconnects or trailing fails.

Daily Loss Limit (PRIORITY 3)

Parameter Default Description
Max Daily Loss (%) 5.0 Stop trading for the day when daily loss exceeds this %

Resets automatically at midnight (server time).

Series Loss Limit (PRIORITY 4)

Parameter Default Description
Max Series Loss (%) 10.0 Close entire grid if unrealized loss exceeds this % of balance


Loss Cooldown (PRIORITY 5)

Parameter Default Description
Cooldown after loss (minutes) 60 Wait time after a losing grid before opening new positions

Set to 0 to disable. Prevents revenge trading after a loss.

Volatility Filter

Parameter Default Description
Max ATR volatility multiplier 2.0 Block new entries when current ATR exceeds X times the baseline

Set to 0 to disable. The baseline is a 200-bar rolling ATR average.

SuperTrend Confirmation

Parameter Default Description
SuperTrend confirmation bars 3 Number of bars that must confirm trend direction before entry

Higher values = fewer but more reliable entries.


STEP 10 - GENERAL SETTINGS

Parameter Default Description
Comment "AuricFlow EA" Text label on all orders
Magic Number 20260226 Unique identifier for this EA's orders

Important: If running multiple instances of AuricFlow on the same account, each instance MUST have a unique Magic Number to prevent order conflicts.


DASHBOARD

Once running, the EA displays a real-time dashboard on your chart showing:

  • EA version and symbol/spread info
  • Grid direction (BUY/SELL/NONE) and order count
  • Total lots and weighted average entry price
  • Current P/L in points and USD
  • Account balance, equity, and free margin
  • Equity drawdown % vs limit
  • Daily P/L % vs limit
  • Series loss % (when applicable)
  • Cooldown timer and ATR volatility ratio
  • Auto Money status with active lot sizes
  • Next upcoming news event with countdown
  • Current EA status message

The chart also shows:

  • Yellow dashed line = Weighted average entry price
  • Green dash-dot line = Take profit target
  • Vertical colored lines = Upcoming news events

If you are new to AuricFlow, use these settings:

  1. Auto Money = true (let the EA manage lot sizes)
  2. All Safety settings = default (do not reduce safety limits)
  3. All Sessions = ON (trade all sessions for maximum opportunities)
  4. News Filter = true (always filter news)
  5. All Trailing = true (keep all three trailing systems active)
  6. Start on Demo (test for at least 1-2 weeks before going live)

IMPORTANT NOTES

  1. Symbol: AuricFlow is optimized exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold). It will warn you if attached to a different symbol but will still run. Results on other symbols are not guaranteed.

  2. Timeframe: The EA is designed for M1 (1-minute). Using other timeframes will produce different results and is not recommended.

  3. VPS: For best results, run AuricFlow on a VPS located close to your broker's server. Gold markets move fast on M1, and connection latency matters.

  4. Broker: Choose an ECN broker with tight gold spreads (under 30 points). Wide spreads will trigger the spread filter and prevent trading.

  5. WebRequest: The news filter REQUIRES the WebRequest URL to be added in platform settings. Without it, only the fallback calendar works.

  6. Multiple Instances: When running multiple copies, always use different Magic Numbers.

  7. Weekend: The Friday exit feature closes all positions before the weekend. If you want positions to carry over, set the Friday exit hour to a late time (e.g., 23:00).
