How It Works

Pips Architect analyzes changes in market data and uses an internal model to evaluate the current market environment.

No third-party indicators are required.

The trading logic can use different order-series configurations depending on the current market conditions.

Trading Modes

Pips Architect supports several order management modes.

Virtual Orders

A virtual mode is available for testing the corresponding trading logic without placing the respective real order.

Risk Management

Pips Architect provides configurable position sizing and risk management parameters.

Available settings include:

• fixed initial lot size;

When using multiple symbols, it is recommended to evaluate risk and position size settings individually for each instrument.

Logging detail can be increased during testing and reduced during normal operation.

Multi-Symbol Trading

Pips Architect can be used with multiple financial instruments simultaneously.

When configuring several symbols, consider the individual characteristics of each instrument, including:

• contract specifications;
• point value;
• spread;
• available margin;
• volatility;
• permitted trading volume.

Risk and position size parameters should be evaluated separately for each instrument.

Recommended Usage

Before using the Expert Advisor on a live account, it is recommended to:

1. Test the selected parameters in Strategy Tester.

2. Verify the Expert Advisor on a demo account.

3. Configure risk and position size for the selected instrument.

4. Test each symbol separately when using multi-symbol trading.

5. Take the broker's actual trading conditions into account.

As an initial reference, a deposit of 1,000 USD or more is recommended. The deposit size does not guarantee any particular result and should be appropriate for the selected risk level.

Testing results depend on the instrument, testing period, trading conditions, account parameters, and Expert Advisor settings. Past test results do not guarantee future results.

MetaTrader 4 / MetaTrader 5

Pips Architect is available for:

MetaTrader 4
MetaTrader 5

Recommended minimum timeframe: M5.

The Expert Advisor can be used with a single financial instrument or configured for multi-symbol trading.

Important

Pips Architect is a tool for automated trading.

Before using it on a live account, the user should independently determine an appropriate risk level and configure the trading parameters accordingly.

For meaningful testing, use consistent testing conditions and take spread, commission, and other trading costs into account.
