Tab "Trade"
The Trade tab has 3 cards: Account, Market, + New Zone.
All values refer to the symbol of the chart the EA is attached to.
1. Account
1.1 Balance Account balance (excludes floating P/L). Read-only. This is the base for the % Balance risk mode.
1.2 Equity Balance + floating P/L of all open positions (all symbols). Read-only.
1.3 Profit Projected profit if all open trades on this symbol reach their TP — not the current P/L. Includes partial TP levels. Shows "-" if no TP is set.
1.4 Loss Projected loss if those trades hit their SL. Includes partial SL levels. Shows "-" if no SL is set.
1.5 P&L Current floating P/L on this symbol (EA trades + manual trades). The RR in the header = Profit ÷ |Loss|.
2. Market — instant orders
Fires immediately, no confirmation, and sends without SL/TP.
2.1 Lot Lot for the SELL/BUY cards only — independent from the New Zone sizing. Type a value; it is clamped to the symbol's min/max lot.
2.2 Digit buttons (4) Each button is one digit of the lot (tens, units, 0.1, 0.01). Click one to open a 0-9 numpad.
2.3 Spread Current spread of the symbol, in points.
2.4 SELL / Bid Click anywhere on the red card to open a market Sell at the current price with the lot above. The lower number is the live Bid.
2.5 BUY / Ask Click anywhere on the blue card to open a market Buy. The lower number is the live Ask.
2.6 Grey dot on the right divider Drag it to set the panel opacity, 10% (transparent) to 100% (solid).
3. + New Zone — planned trades
Draw the plan first (a draggable Entry / TP / SL box on the chart), then press Execute.
3.1 SERVER / VIRTUAL Where the new zone keeps its SL/TP. Green = SERVER (levels sent to the broker). Orange = VIRTUAL (the EA holds the levels and closes the trade itself). Click to open the Set Virtual dialog — Emergency SL and Virtual Entry are set there. Virtual mode requires MT5 to stay running.
3.2 Risk Mode How the lot of the new zone is calculated. The selected mode enables its input box below; the other two grey out. The final lot is always rounded to the broker's lot step and clamped to min/max.
- Cash — risk a fixed money amount per trade. The lot is derived from the Entry-to-SL distance, so a wider SL means a smaller lot.
- % Balance — risk a percentage of Balance; sized the same way.
- Lot — fixed lot, the SL distance is ignored.
3.3 Amount Money risked per trade — used by Cash mode.
3.4 % of Bal Percent of Balance risked per trade — used by % Balance mode.
3.5 Lot value + digit buttons The fixed lot used by Lot mode. Type it, or set each digit from the numpad. The buttons turn blue while Lot mode is active.
3.6 Order Type Decides what Execute sends.
- Market — fill now; the Entry line follows the live price.
- Pending — wait at the Entry price you dragged to. The EA picks Limit or Stop automatically from where that price sits.
3.7 + SELL ZONE / + BUY ZONE Creates the draft box; nothing is sent yet. Its default SL distance and RR come from the Setting tab. Press the same button again to cancel it, the opposite one to flip direction.
3.8 Execute Sends the draft as a real order, using the lot from the Risk Mode (not the Market card's lot). Grey and inert when there is no draft. Blocked while the Prop Firm Guard lock is active.
Tab "Prop Guard"
Watches the rules of a funded / prop-firm account and can step in before a rule is broken.
It has three parts: the panel (always visible on this tab), the Prop detail wing (button More detail »), and the Setup window where the rules are configured.
1. Top row
1.1 Enable Master switch. ON = the guard monitors and enforces (auto-flat / trade block). OFF = nothing is enforced. Saved immediately.
1.2 Status Overall state, taken from whichever drawdown limit is closest to being hit: SAFE (below 70% of the limit), CAUTION (70-89%), DANGER (90% and above).
2. Drawdown Guard
2.1 Mode Top-right badge showing the Max DD type from Setup: Trailing, Static or EOD.
2.2 Daily Loss so far today / your daily limit. The loss is measured on equity against the snapshot taken at the daily reset, so floating losses count too.
2.3 Daily bar and % How much of the daily limit is used. Green, then orange, then red as it fills.
2.4 left $ Money you can still lose today before the daily limit is reached.
2.5 reset Countdown to the next daily reset (reset time is set in Setup, server time).
2.6 Max DD Total drawdown / your maximum limit. It is measured from the start balance (Static) or from the highest equity ever reached (Trailing / EOD).
2.7 Max DD bar and % How much of the maximum limit is used.
2.8 floor The equity level that must not be breached — hit it and the account is gone.
2.9 peak Highest equity recorded; the reference a trailing drawdown follows.
3. Target
3.1 Phase The challenge phase shown on the right of the card title.
3.2 Profit Profit since the start balance / your profit target (equity-based, so floating profit counts).
3.3 Bar and % Progress towards the target.
3.4 Min days Days on which you held at least one position / days required. Turns green once the requirement is met.
4. Trade Sizing
4.1 Risk left today Money still available before the daily limit. Shows an em dash when the daily rule is off.
4.2 Max lot @ SL The largest lot you may take with your Default SL distance, using the risk-per-trade budget, never more than the daily remainder, and capped by the Max lot rule.
5. More detail » (Prop detail wing)
5.1 Rule Watch Eight rules with a live value and a dot: green = within the rule, red = breached, orange = warning, grey = rule switched off. Click a row and its explanation appears at the bottom of the wing.
- Consistency — your best day's profit as a percentage of total profit.
- Risk / trade — the open trade with the largest loss-at-SL, against your per-trade limit.
- Open pos — number of open positions against the maximum.
- Max lot — total volume open against the maximum.
- SL required — "all set", or how many open trades have no stop loss.
- News window — whether a high-impact release for this symbol's currencies falls inside the forbidden window; otherwise the time until the next one.
- Weekend hold — time left before the weekend while trades are still open.
- Min hold — age of your newest trade against the minimum holding time.
5.2 Payout Your profit split and the countdown to the next payout date.
5.3 Setup Opens the configuration window.
5.4 « Folds the wing away; the panel keeps working.
6. Setup window
6.1 Preset Loads a firm's rule set (FTMO, The5ers, FundedNext, E8 Funding, Alpha Capital, FundingPips, Blueberry Funded, The Funded Trader). Change any value yourself and the preset becomes Custom.
6.2 Account Start balance of the account, and the daily reset time in server time.
6.3 Daily loss On/off, the limit as % or $, and whether it is measured against Balance or Equity.
6.4 Max DD On/off, the limit as % or $, the type (Trailing / Static / EOD-Trailing) and its base.
6.5 Target Profit target (% or $), minimum trading days, maximum trading days.
6.6 Behaviour rules Consistency %, risk per trade, max lot, max open positions, stop loss required, minimum holding time.
6.7 Restrictions News window in minutes around high-impact events, no weekend holding, no overnight holding.
6.8 Protection The percentage of the drawdown limit that triggers protection, and what it does — Flat all or Lock trading.
6.9 Alerts Warn every minute while a trade has no stop loss on the server.
6.10 Payout Your profit split percentage and the payout cycle in days.
7. What protection actually does
7.1 Flat all A countdown window appears for ten seconds, then every position on the account is closed and all pending orders cancelled. Press Cancel during the countdown to stop it.
7.2 Lock trading New trades are blocked at once — Execute and the Market card stop working — while open trades are left alone. The lock clears at the next daily reset.
7.3 Pre-trade check Even before protection triggers, an order is refused if the worst case (current loss + risk of open trades + this new trade) would breach your limit.
Tab "Close"
Closes and cancels trades in bulk, and keeps a watch list that can close them for you.
Everything on this tab obeys the filter at the top, and every number is live.
1. Filter
1.1 Symbol ALL, or one symbol. Every count and every button below is limited to it.
1.2 Magic ALL, or one magic number — useful for separating this EA's trades from another EA's or your manual ones.
2. Market Orders
2.1 Totals Next to the card title: how many positions and how much volume match the filter.
2.2 Columns Ord = number of positions in that row, P/L = their money result including swap, % = their Change% exactly as MT5 counts it.
2.3 Close Profit Closes the trades that are in profit.
2.4 Condition next to Close Profit Opens a picker: By USD (20, 50, 100 or your own value) or By % (1, 2, 5 or your own), and All for no threshold. Only trades at or above the threshold are counted and closed.
2.5 Close Loss Closes the trades that are losing, with the same kind of threshold.
2.6 Close BUY / Close SELL Closes that side.
2.7 Close ALL Below the divider, in red: closes every position that matches the filter.
Trades whose market is closed are skipped and reported afterwards.
3. Pending Orders
3.1 Type buttons Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Stop, Buy StopLim, Sell StopLim, each with its count. Click one to cancel every order of that type. Grey means none of that type. Virtual pending zones are counted and cancelled too.
3.2 Cancel ALL Pending Cancels every pending order that matches the filter.
4. Bottom row
4.1 Confirm Tick it and every close or cancel on this tab asks first, telling you how many trades it will affect.
4.2 reset Puts the filter back to ALL and clears both conditions.
4.3 Conditions » Opens the Close Conditions wing.
5. Close Conditions (auto-close watch list)
Each watch runs on its own and closes trades for you when its condition is met.
5.1 Enable Master switch for the whole list. With it off, watches are kept but never fire.
5.2 Symbol The symbol this watch measures, or All symbols for the whole account.
5.3 Floating What to measure: P/L in money, or % as Change%.
5.4 Operator and value ≥ with a positive value takes profit; ≤ with a negative value cuts a loss.
5.5 Scope Which trades are measured and closed: Profit only (closes winners, leaves losers), Loss only, BUY, SELL, or All (net of everything).
5.6 After trigger Once fires one time and removes the watch; Repeat re-arms and fires again once the condition clears.
5.7 Add Watch list Adds the condition to the table below.
5.8 Watch rows Each row shows its symbol, its condition, Once or Repeat, and a live bar with the current floating value. X deletes the watch.
5.9 Help line Point at any control and the bottom line of the wing explains it.
Tab "News"
The economic calendar and the alerts that warn you before an event.
1. Economic Calendar
1.1 Upcoming events The card covers the next 48 hours.
1.2 View Calendar Opens the full calendar window: every event with its time, currency, impact, forecast, previous and actual value, with filters and paging. It refreshes itself every three minutes while open.
2. Notification
Alerts you a chosen number of minutes before an event starts.
2.1 CCY The currencies you want to be warned about: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, NZD, CHF. Selected ones are blue.
2.2 All Warn on every currency instead of a hand-picked list.
2.3 Impact checkboxes Turn the alert on separately for High, Medium and Low impact events.
2.4 minute How many minutes before the event that impact level is announced. Each level has its own value, so you can be warned early for High and late for Low.
2.5 Reminder line The alert is only delivered if News is also enabled in Setting → Notify & Sound, where you choose screen card, mobile push and sound.
3. Preview table
3.1 Rows The next five events: time, currency, impact and name — a quick look without opening the calendar window.
Tab "Setting"
Defaults for new zones, what is drawn on the chart, and the buttons that open the other setup windows.
Every setting here is saved and restored automatically.
1. Inputs
1.1 RR (1:X) The reward-to-risk a new zone starts with: its TP is placed at the SL distance multiplied by this number.
1.2 Popup Tick it and the Risk:Reward window opens beside every draft zone you create, so you can pick the RR straight away.
1.3 Default SL — PT / ATRx The unit of the stop distance for a new zone. PT = a fixed number of points; ATRx = the ATR of the current timeframe multiplied by your factor, so the box adapts to volatility.
1.4 Default SL value The number of points, or the ATR multiplier, depending on the unit above.
2. Display
2.1 Show Trade Level MT5's own entry, SL and TP lines on the chart.
2.2 Show External Draw zone boxes for trades opened outside this panel, by hand or by another EA.
2.3 Free Chart Move Lets you drag the chart vertically, moving the price scale freely instead of MT5's fixed one.
2.4 Keep View Keeps the same moment centred on screen when you change timeframe or zoom, instead of jumping to the latest bar.
2.5 Quick Symbol Bar A floating bar for switching symbol quickly, listing the ones you have trades in.
2.6 Show Header Zone The header strip on top of every zone box.
2.7 Order Manager Bar The floating bars for open orders, order history and notification history.
2.8 Zoom Bar The floating zoom and fit controls.
2.9 Tools Bar The floating tools bar: indicators, performance table, currency strength, candle and price alerts.
2.10 Zone Info The information overlay drawn inside a zone box.
2.11 Watermark The large symbol and timeframe watermark in the middle of the chart, with the countdown to the bar close.
3. Setup
3.1 P&L Display How the floating result is shown on each zone: Badge (a coloured pill) or Text (plain figures).
3.2 Notify & Sound Opens the notification table: for every event you choose a screen card, a mobile push and a sound. News alerts and price alerts are switched on here as well.
3.3 Sessions Opens the session window: the master switch plus Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York, each with its own colour.
3.4 Theme Opens the theme window: the panel and chart colour scheme, including candle presets and a custom colour picker.
3.5 Hotkeys Opens the hotkey window, where every shortcut can be reassigned or switched off.
3.6 Screenshot Opens the screenshot window: resolution, file format, whether the panel and zones are hidden in the picture, and multi-timeframe capture.
Popup "Zone Options"
The control centre of a single zone. Open it by clicking the ☰ label on the zone box.
The title shows which zone you are editing, and the buttons change with the zone's state: draft, pending or open position. A green dot on a button means that feature already holds a setting.
1. Every zone
1.1 Risk : Reward Opens the Risk:Reward window — set the TP from an RR number, or place the SL from ATR / ZigZag / Fractals.
1.2 Set Virtual Opens the Set Virtual window: whether this zone's stops live on the broker's server or inside the EA. The dot turns green once Virtual is on.
1.3 Set TP Levels Opens the Take Profit table — several partial take-profits with their own lot share.
1.4 Set SL Levels Opens the Stop Loss table — several partial stops.
1.5 Set Break Even Opens the Break Even window: when and how the stop is moved to entry.
1.6 Set Trailing Stop Opens the Trailing Stop window: ten ways to trail the stop behind price.
1.7 OCO Opens the OCO window, where this zone cancels or closes other orders once it fills or closes. Two dots sit on the button: green = this zone owns links, purple = it is tied two-way to another zone, orange = another zone acts on it one-way.
2. Open position only
2.1 BE Now (spread+com) Moves the stop to breakeven immediately, offset far enough to cover spread and commission.
2.2 Close lot Partial Two linked boxes, % and lot: type either one and the other follows. It starts at the full remaining volume, and the value is snapped to the broker's lot step.
2.3 Close Closes the volume set above. The button itself shows what you are about to bank — the money result of that part and the RR reached — and is green or red accordingly.
3. Pending order only
3.1 Cancel Pending at Price ON = the order is dropped by itself once price reaches a chosen level, so a setup that has already run away is not filled late. Drag that level on the chart.
3.2 Open at Market Turns the pending order into a market order right now. If price has left the box, you are asked whether to re-anchor it first.
3.3 Cancel Pending Removes the pending order and its zone.
4. Draft zone
4.1 Buttons A draft that has not been sent yet shows only Risk : Reward, Set Virtual, Set TP Levels and Set SL Levels — everything you plan before the order exists.
4.2 Cancel New Zone Discards the draft box.
Popup "Risk : Reward"
Sets the take profit from a reward-to-risk number, and can place the stop loss at a volatility distance.
Opened from Risk : Reward in Zone Options, or automatically beside every new draft when Popup is ticked in the Setting tab.
1. RR buttons 1 to 10
1.1 Number Click a number and the take profit jumps to that reward-to-risk, measured from the entry and the current stop distance. On an open trade or a pending order the change is sent to the broker straight away; on a draft the box just redraws.
1.2 What the zone remembers The number you press becomes that zone's RR, so if you later drag the TP or SL across the entry and flip the direction, the box is rebuilt with the same reward-to-risk.
2. Stop Loss
Places the stop where the market suggests, instead of at a fixed distance.
2.1 Method ATR = a volatility distance; ZigZag = the last swing high or low; Fractals = the last fractal point.
2.2 Timeframe Which timeframe the method reads. It starts on the chart's own timeframe.
2.3 mult The ATR multiplier. Greyed out for ZigZag and Fractals, which have no multiplier.
2.4 offset Extra points beyond the level found, so the stop sits behind the swing rather than on it.
2.5 Apply Calculates the level and moves the stop there. The take profit keeps its RR, so it moves with it.
3. Delete
3.1 Delete TP Removes the take profit from this zone, after a confirmation.
3.2 Delete SL Removes the stop loss, after a confirmation. Mind that the trade is then unprotected.
Popup "Set Virtual"
Decides where a zone's stops and entry actually live: on the broker's server, or inside the EA.
Opened from Set Virtual in Zone Options, or from the SERVER / VIRTUAL button in the Trade tab for the next zone you create.
Anything virtual is watched by the EA, so MT5 must stay running with the EA attached.
1. Mode
1.1 Server Normal behaviour: the stop loss and take profit are sent to the broker and stay there even if your terminal is closed.
1.2 Virtual The levels are kept by the EA and never reach the broker — nothing on the server shows where you exit. The EA closes the trade itself when price gets there.
2. Virtual mode options
2.1 Virtual Entry For pending orders: no order is placed on the server at all. The EA watches price and opens at market when your entry is reached.
2.2 Max Slippage How far past the entry the EA still accepts a virtual-entry fill: off (always fill), ATR (a multiple of ATR), point (a fixed number of points) or x spread (a multiple of the current spread). Each unit keeps its own value.
2.3 Virtual SL The stop loss stays hidden and is executed by the EA.
2.4 Virtual TP The take profit stays hidden and is executed by the EA.
2.5 Virtual Break Even Break-even moves happen on the hidden stop instead of on the server.
2.6 Virtual Trailing Trailing moves the hidden stop instead of the server one, so the broker never sees it creep.
Anything you leave unticked keeps working the normal way, on the server.
3. Emergency SL
3.1 Emergency SL Available once Virtual SL is on: a real stop is still placed on the server, but far behind your hidden one. It is your safety net if the terminal, the power or the internet dies.
3.2 ATR × How far behind the real stop sits, as a multiple of ATR.
3.3 Emergency SL BE The emergency stop follows break-even moves as well, keeping the same gap.
3.4 Emergency SL Trailing The emergency stop follows trailing moves too.
Popup "Take Profit Levels"
Splits one trade into several take profits, each closing part of the position.
Opened from Set TP Levels in Zone Options. Every level also draws a draggable line on the chart, and the table follows the line as you move it.
1. Columns
1.1 Lv The level's name, numbered by price: TP1 is the one price reaches first.
1.2 Price Where the level sits. Drag its line on the chart to change it.
1.3 Pts Distance from the entry in points.
1.4 Profit What that level banks in money, for the lot it closes.
1.5 RR The reward-to-risk reached at that price. Type a number here and the level moves to match it.
1.6 % How much of the remaining position this level closes. Editable.
1.7 Close lot The same share written as a lot size. Editable — the two follow each other.
1.8 Remain What is still open after this level is hit, which is the base of the next level.
1.9 × Deletes the level and its line.
2. Below the table
2.1 Total The sum of all shares, with a tick when it is sound and a warning when it goes over 100%.
2.2 + Add TP Adds a level halfway between the current price and the main take profit, ready to be dragged.
3. Good to know
3.1 Frozen lots The lot of a level is fixed when you add or edit it, so changing one level never silently resizes the others.
3.2 Triggered levels A level that has already fired is greyed out and can no longer be edited or deleted.
3.3 Shared position Take-profit and stop-loss levels close the same position, so their lots are counted against one pool.
Popup "Stop Loss Levels"
Splits the exit on the losing side into several stops, each closing part of the position — a way to scale out of a trade that is going wrong instead of taking the whole loss at once.
Opened from Set SL Levels in Zone Options. Every level draws a draggable line on the chart.
1. Columns
1.1 Lv The level's name, numbered by price: SL1 is the one price reaches first.
1.2 Price Where the level sits. Drag its line on the chart to change it.
1.3 Pts Distance from the entry in points.
1.4 Loss What that level costs in money, for the lot it closes.
1.5 RR The reward-to-risk at that price, shown for reference only.
1.6 % How much of the remaining position this level closes. Editable.
1.7 Close lot The same share written as a lot size. Editable — the two follow each other.
1.8 Remain What is still open after this level is hit.
1.9 × Deletes the level and its line.
2. Below the table
2.1 Total The sum of all shares, with a warning when it goes over 100%.
2.2 + Add SL Adds a level between the current price and the main stop, ready to be dragged. The EA keeps it on the correct side of the entry.
3. Good to know
3.1 Executed by the EA Partial stops are handled by the EA on every tick, not by the broker, so they need MT5 to be running. Your main stop loss stays on the server as usual.
3.2 Shared position Stop and take-profit levels draw from the same volume, so the remaining lot is always counted from what is really left.
Popup "Break Even"
Moves the stop loss to the entry price once the trade has earned enough, so the position can no longer lose.
Opened from Set Break Even in Zone Options. Every change applies immediately — there is no Save button.
1. Choosing the type
The cards on the left decide what triggers the move. Click one to select it, click it again to clear it.
1.1 BE at Points Move the stop when floating profit reaches N points.
1.2 BE at Profit Move the stop when floating profit reaches N in money.
1.3 BE at RR Move the stop when the reward-to-risk reaches N.
1.4 BE at Level Move the stop when price reaches one of your take-profit levels.
1.5 BE at Candle Move the stop after N candles in a row close beyond the breakeven price on a chosen timeframe — it waits for the move to hold, not just to touch.
2. Top row
2.1 Enable Arms break-even for this zone. Changing the type while it is on asks first, because it switches itself off.
2.2 Reset Puts every field back to its default.
2.3 Example Shows a small diagram of the selected type.
3. BE + Offset
Where the stop actually lands, since the entry price alone still loses the trading costs.
3.1 Spread Points added to cover the spread.
3.2 Commission Money to cover the commission, converted to points for you.
3.3 Buffer Extra points of your own, so the stop sits slightly in profit.
3.4 Auto / Manual Auto reads the spread and commission from MT5 and locks the boxes; Manual lets you type your own numbers.
4. Move Condition
4.1 Value The trigger for the selected type: points, money, R, a TP level number, or a number of candles.
4.2 Timeframe For BE at Candle: which candles are counted. Pick it from the ☰ list.
4.3 ☰ picker For BE at RR and BE at Level: choose the R value or the TP level from a list instead of typing it.
5. Partial Close Break Even (optional)
5.1 ON / OFF Also close part of the position at the moment the stop moves to breakeven — bank something and let the rest run risk-free.
5.2 Close lot / % How much to close, as a lot or as a percentage. The two boxes follow each other.
Popup "Trailing Stop"
Follows the stop loss behind price as the trade moves your way. Ten methods are available; you pick one per zone.
Opened from Set Trailing Stop in Zone Options. Changes apply immediately. A zone cannot run Break Even and BE + Trailing at the same time — the popup says so and asks you to clear one.
1. Top row
1.1 Enable Arms trailing for this zone. Switching method while it is on turns it off and asks you to arm it again, so a half-finished setting never runs.
1.2 Reset Clears every trailing setting on this zone.
1.3 Description line Under the title, the selected method is explained in one sentence, and warnings appear here in red.
2. Trailing Mode
2.1 Fixed Distance The stop trails a fixed number of points behind price.
2.2 BE + Trailing Move to breakeven first, then trail — it uses the Break Even engine for the first step.
2.3 Candle Trail Put the stop at the low (Buy) or high (Sell) of the last N candles on a chosen timeframe, with an offset for wicks.
2.4 Trailing + Step Trail at a fixed distance, but only re-move the stop once price has advanced a full step — fewer modifications. It can also wait for a bar to close first.
2.5 RR Step Lock the stop one step higher each time price gains a set number of R, keeping it a chosen number of R behind.
2.6 Volatility (ATR) The gap is ATR multiplied by your factor, so it widens in fast markets and tightens in quiet ones.
2.7 Indicator The stop follows an indicator line: MA, Parabolic SAR, ATR band or ZigZag, on a timeframe you choose.
2.8 Step / Partial-TP Move the stop to each take-profit level and close a part of the position as price advances — the amber lines on the chart set where the stop locks after each level.
2.9 Percentage The gap is a percentage of price, so it grows as price rises.
2.10 Time-Based Start trailing, tighten it, or act on the trade after a set time has passed.
3. Fields you will meet
3.1 Distance The gap kept between price and the stop, in points.
3.2 Step How far price must advance before the stop is moved again. A larger step means fewer, bigger moves.
3.3 Start trailing When trailing begins: Immediate, After Profit (once the trade is in profit) or Manual (after a number of points you type).
3.4 TF and ☰ The timeframe used by candle, bar-close and indicator methods; the ☰ button opens the list.
3.5 Offset Extra points beyond the level found, so the stop is not sitting exactly on a high, low or indicator line.
3.6 Period and Multiplier For ATR methods: the bars used to measure volatility, and how many ATRs wide the gap is.
3.7 R basis and 1R For RR Step: Auto takes 1R as entry-to-initial-stop, or you can type a fixed number of points.
3.8 Behavior, Time basis, Delay, Duration, Action For Time-Based: what should happen, measured in minutes or in bars of a timeframe.
Popup "OCO" — One Cancels / Closes the Other
Links one zone to others, so that when this zone fires the linked orders are cancelled or closed automatically.
Opened from the OCO button in Zone Options. Targets may sit on other symbols — one running EA watches them all and acts by ticket.
1. The two frames
1.1 Cancel Pending Zones The pending orders listed here are cancelled when this zone fires. Classic use: two setups on the same idea, and whichever triggers first kills the other.
1.2 Close Market Zones The open positions listed here are closed when this zone fires — a reversal order that flattens the old trade as it enters, for example.
2. Adding a target
2.1 Select Zone Opens a picker listing the available zones, grouped by symbol.
2.2 Add Puts the chosen zone into the list of targets.
2.3 1-way / 2-way For a pending zone: 1-way means this zone acts on the target and nothing acts back; 2-way is mutual — whichever fills first acts on the other.
2.4 TP / SL For an open position: which exit fires the link, the take profit or the stop loss. So you can close the other trade only when this one wins, or only when it loses.
3. The target table
3.1 Symbol The target's symbol; grey when it is not the chart you are on.
3.2 Zone The target's zone number.
3.3 Ticket The order or position ticket it is bound to — the link survives renumbering because it follows this.
3.4 Type Buy, Sell, or the pending type.
3.5 Lot and Price The target's volume and its entry price.
3.6 Link 1-way or 2-way.
3.7 Status Whether the link is still armed, or has already fired.
3.8 × Removes that target. On a 2-way link the other side is removed as well.
4. Good to know
4.1 Fires once A link acts a single time; afterwards it is marked as fired and is not repeated.
4.2 Needs the EA running OCO is watched by the EA, not by the broker, so MT5 must stay open.
4.3 Virtual orders Virtual pending zones can be linked exactly like real ones, including across symbols.
Popup "Order Manager"
One table of everything that is currently live — open positions or pending orders — with filters and a single button to close what the filter selected.

Popup "Order History"
Your closed trades, with the filters a trading journal needs.
Opened from the ☰H button on the Order Manager bar. Data comes from the broker's own history, so trades opened outside this EA are included.

Popup "Notify & Sound"
One table deciding how you are told about every event: a card on screen, a push to your phone, a sound, or nothing.
Opened from Setup next to Notify & Sound in the Setting tab.
1. The three columns
1.1 Screen A notification card in the corner of the chart. Cards stack and fade by themselves, and every one of them is also kept in Notify History.

Popup "Hotkeys"
Every action in the panel can be put on a key, and every key can be changed.
Opened from Setup next to Hotkeys in the Setting tab.
1. Top row
1.1 Master Turns all hotkeys off at once — handy while typing in another window or when a key clashes with something else.
2. A hotkey row
2.1 Action What the key does.
2.2 Key Click it, then press the key you want. It is stored per terminal.
2.3 Modifier Ctrl, Shift, Alt or a combination, chosen from a small list.
2.4 On / Off Enables that single shortcut. Actions with no key assigned stay off.
2.5 Needs a zone Some actions work on the selected zone, so select a box first — Break-Even Now or Set Trailing Stop, for example.
3. Groups
3.1 Trade Buy and Sell at market, draft a Buy or Sell zone, cancel the draft, switch Market or Pending, execute the draft, close all / profit / loss / buys / sells, and cancel pending orders by type.

4. Footer

Popup "Sessions"
Shades the trading sessions on the chart, so you can see at a glance which market was open when a move happened.
Opened from Setup next to Sessions in the Setting tab. Every click applies at once.
1. Sessions
1.1 Master switch Turns the whole session display on or off in one click, without losing which markets you had chosen.
2. Markets
2.1 Sydney The Asian open.
2.2 Tokyo The Asian session proper.
2.3 London The European session.
2.4 New York The US session; its overlap with London is the busiest part of the day.
Each market has its own colour, and the shading follows daylight-saving changes automatically.
3. Good to know
3.1 Higher timeframes Session shading is hidden on D1, W1 and MN, where a session no longer means anything on the candle.
Popup "Theme"
The colour scheme of the whole panel and of the chart behind it.
Opened from Set Theme in the Setting tab. A theme is applied the moment you click it and is remembered.
1. Themes
1.1 Dark set Midnight, Dark Blue, Deep Purple, Green Teal, Dark Tone, Purple Pink, Crimson, Slate Rose.
1.2 Light set Light, Sakura, Rose Light, Coral Light.
1.3 What changes Panel, popups, zone boxes, lines and the chart background all follow the theme, so the tool never clashes with your chart.
2. Candles
Candle colours can be left to the theme, or overridden on their own.
2.1 Presets Midnight, Mono, Frost, Sage and Orchid — each sets the bull body, bear body and the two bar colours together.
2.2 Custom Opens the colour picker, where you set all four colours yourself: bull body, bear body, up bar and down bar. Pick from the square and the hue slider, or type RGB or a hex code; a sample candle shows the result.
2.3 Back to the theme Clicking the preset that is already selected clears the override and the candles follow the theme again.
Popups "Zone Paging" and "Zone Filter"
When several zone boxes are open at once the chart gets crowded, so the panel shows them a page at a time.
The paging bar appears by itself once there is more than one executed zone, at the bottom of the chart.
1. Zone Paging bar
1.1 Filter Opens the filter window below.
1.2 Page size How many zone boxes are drawn on the chart at once.
1.3 < and > Move to the previous or next page of zones.
1.4 Counter Which page you are on and how many there are in total.
1.5 Drag strip The grip on the right moves the bar; the position is remembered.
2. Zone Filter
2.1 Market Show open positions, and narrow to Buy or Sell only.
2.2 Pending Show pending orders, and narrow to Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop or Sell Stop.
2.3 X Closes the filter window; the filter itself stays as you left it.
3. Good to know
3.1 Display only Paging and filtering change what is drawn. Trades that are not on the page keep running, keep their stops, their break-even and their trailing exactly as before.
3.2 Panel figures Profit and Loss in the Trade tab count every zone on the symbol, including those on other pages.
Popup "Market Watch"
Change the chart's symbol without leaving the panel, from a grid built for finding a pair fast.
Opened from ☰ on the Quick Symbol bar.
1. Source
1.1 Market Watch The symbols in your terminal's own Market Watch list.
1.2 All Everything the broker offers, browsed by group; the ← button steps back up.
1.3 Top A ready-made short list of what most people trade, in three groups: Metals, Indices and Currency — it finds them on your broker even when the names differ, so gold shows up whether it is XAUUSD, GOLD or a suffixed variant.
2. The grid
2.1 Currency layout Forex pairs are laid out base against quote, so EURUSD sits where the EUR row meets the USD column — far quicker than scrolling a list.
2.2 Click a symbol Switches the chart to it, keeping your timeframe.
2.3 5 / 10 How tall the grid is, when you want to see more at once.
2.4 ‹ › and ▲ ▼ Move between pages when a group does not fit.
3. Good to know
3.1 Symbols not in Market Watch Choosing one from All or Top adds it to your Market Watch so the chart can open.
3.2 Quick Symbol bar The bar itself already lists the symbols you hold trades in; this window is for everything else.
Popup "Currency Performance" (☰P)
A grid of the 28 major pairs against several timeframes, so you can see in one glance what is moving and which way.
Opened from ☰P on the Tools bar.
1. The table
1.1 Rows The 28 major currency pairs.
1.2 Columns One per timeframe, showing the change over that period.
1.3 Cell colours Green for a rise, red for a fall, deeper as the move gets bigger — the strong and weak sides of the market stand out without reading numbers.
1.4 Sorting Click a column header to rank the pairs by that timeframe.
2. Header
2.1 Opacity slider The whole window is drawn on canvas, so it can be made semi-transparent and left over the chart while you work.
2.2 X Closes it. Drag the title strip to move it.
3. Good to know
3.1 Shared figures This table and Currency Strength are computed from the same data, refreshed together, so the two never disagree.
3.2 Symbols must exist A pair your broker does not offer is left blank.
Popup "Currency Strength" (☰S)
Which currencies are strong and which are weak right now, ranked as bars — the quickest way to pick the right side of a pair.
Opened from ☰S on the Tools bar.
1. Controls
1.1 Timeframe The period the strength is measured over, from M5 to W1.
1.2 Base ALL compares each currency against the whole basket; picking one currency shows the others relative to it.
1.3 Opacity slider Makes the window see-through so it can stay over the chart.
2. The bars
2.1 Eight currencies USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, NZD and CHF, sorted strongest to weakest.
2.2 The zero line Bars grow right for strength and left for weakness from the centre line.
2.3 How it is measured Every currency is scored across all 28 pairs, with each move normalised by volatility, so a quiet pair cannot dominate a busy one.
3. Reading it
3.1 The trade it suggests The clearest setups sit between the top and the bottom of the list — buy the strongest against the weakest.
3.2 Same data as Performance Both windows are built from the same refreshed figures.
