How to run EA perfectly

Ready to dominate the markets? Forget the boring manual. Here is your high-performance checklist for mastering this EA on MetaTrader 5.

🧠 Pro-Tip: Multi-EA Warfare

Worried about conflicts? Fear not. You can run this EA alongside an army of other robots. The golden rule? Assign a unique  Magic Number  to each EA. This is their digital fingerprint, ensuring zero cross-talk between different strategies on the same chart.

🎯 The "Set & Forget" Symbol Logic

Stop overcomplicating prefixes and suffixes! The EA is smarter than that. For example, if your broker uses  EURUSD.m  or  EURUSD# , you only enter  EURUSD  in the settings. The auto-detection engine handles the messy broker formatting for you automatically. Do not add the suffix.

⚙️ The Backtest Bible (Critical!)

Do not guess. Get the exact .ini file. A raw backtest is useless without the right tick data & commission settings. Contact me directly and I will provide you with the correct configuration (.ini) file to load into your MT5 Strategy Tester. This is how you get reliable results.

💰 Deposit & Risk Decoded

• Minimum Viable Deposit: Anything above $100 USD gets you in the game.

• The Golden Rule: I recommend low risk always. Survive to trade another day.

• Drawdown Guardian: The EA is set to avoid new trades at 70% drawdown and can be configured to close everything if that limit is breached.

📊 The Dashboard & Visuals

• Zooming  factor: Set to  1  for normal. Increase the number to zoom in on the on-chart dashboard for better visibility.

🔄 Changing the Trading Instrument

To switch from Gold to EURUSD? Do not drag a new symbol onto the chart. Instead, go to Inputs and change the  set trading symbols  parameter. The EA will automatically reload and trade the new symbol.

🛡️ Advanced Input Parameters (Explained)

Here is the soul of the machine. No variable names, just pure function:

• set trading symbols: Enter the instruments you want to trade (e.g.,  EURUSD, GBPUSD ). The EA will cycle through them.

• auto-detect symbol suffix/prefix: LEAVE THIS TRUE. It automatically strips broker-specific extensions.

• set main magic number: The unique ID for this EA. Change this to run multiple copies.

• set order comment: The label that will appear in your trade history. Great for tracking.

• collapse identical ticks within this window (ms): Prevents spam by grouping identical rapid ticks. 75ms is the sweet spot.

• extra distance added to broker freeze level (pts): Safety padding to avoid "Order is frozen" errors.

• maximum number of new orders per minute: A circuit breaker to prevent overtrading in volatile spikes.

• avoid opening new positions on triple-swap eve: Saves you from paying the 3x swap fee on Wednesdays.

• activate recovery zone feature: Turns on the smart recovery algorithm to manage losing positions.

• set zone distance (fixed points): How far from price the "danger zone" begins for recovery.

• set atr timeframe for zones: Uses M15 volatility to dynamically place zones.

• set atr period for zone calculation: How many candles (8) are used to measure volatility.

• set atr multiplier for zones: A multiplier of 1x the ATR value creates a balanced safety net.

• set profit type for recovery: Choose  usd_percent  (mix of cash & percentage).

• set total profit usd after recovery: Target $1 profit to close the recovery cycle.

• set total profit % of balance after recovery: Target 0.5% of balance to exit recovery.

• set trading start & end time: The EA's daily curfew. Only trades between  00:05  and  23:59 .

• set daily target % to block new orders: Hit  0  (disabled) or a value like  5  to stop new trades at 5% daily profit.

• close all orders when daily target is hit:  True  = Lock in the win and shut down for the day.

• set lot calculation method:  mid_risk  balances growth vs. safety.

• set fixed lot size: If you don't want dynamic sizing, lock it to  0.01 .

• force risk all time: Overrides other safety checks.

• set maximum / minimum lot size: Absolute boundaries ( 60  max,  0.01  min).

• set percentage to decrease lot after loss:  0  means no decrease. Enter  20  to reduce lot size by 20% after a loss.

• enable macd filter: Uses MACD as a trend gatekeeper.

• set macd filter fast/slow ema & sma: The classic  15, 28, 8  settings for H1 signals.

• enable ftmo randomizer for tp and sl: Adds slight entropy to TP/SL to avoid broker targeting. Essential for prop firms.

• zoom factor for dashboard: Adjusts UI scale for your screen resolution.

• enable opening only one order per symbol: Prevents stacking multiple trades on the same pair.

• min distance between trades (in points):  0  = off. Set to  50  to space entries out.

• enable allowing hedging:  True  = You can hold both Buy & Sell on the same symbol.

• set maximum drawdown allowed before avoiding new trades: The EA stops entering at 70% DD.

• enable close on max drawdown:  True  = The emergency parachute deploys at the DD limit.
