Green Tomatoes EA - Client Documentation
Overview
Green Tomatoes is a sophisticated MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor (EA) designed to automate your trading strategy. It executes trades based on precise mathematical calculations, aiming to capitalize on market movements efficiently. This EA is built for traders who seek a systematic approach and prefer automated trade execution over manual intervention.
Disclaimer: Green Tomatoes is a tool and does not guarantee profits. Trading leveraged financial instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Input Parameters (User Settings)
You can configure the EA using the following settings in the "Inputs" tab:
| Description | Recommended Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lot Size | The trade volume for each order opened by the EA. | Customize based on your account balance and risk management rules. | |
| Magic Number | A unique identifier for trades opened by this EA. This prevents it from interfering with other EAs or manual trades. | Any unique number (e.g., 12345). | |

Important Operational Notes
Risk Management
- Client Responsibility: Proper risk management is essential. This includes setting appropriate lot sizes relative to your account equity. We strongly recommend you never risk more than you are prepared to lose.
- No Built-in Stop Loss/Take Profit: This EA does not automatically place Stop Loss (SL) or Take Profit (TP) orders upon trade entry. It is your responsibility to monitor positions and manage risk, either by manually setting SL/TP or by using the EA's own closing logic.
- Minimum Deposit: A minimum deposit of $50 is recommended to provide sufficient margin for flexibility and effective risk management.
- Margin Level: Trades automatically close when the account margin level is 100% or below.
Trade Execution & Closure
- The EA will automatically open and close trades according to its internal algorithm and the "Magic Number" system.
- You retain full control and can close trades manually at any time. The EA will continue to manage any remaining trades it opened.
Optimal Market Conditions
- For best performance, it is advised to use Green Tomatoes during trending and active market conditions. The algorithm is designed to perform well in markets with clear directional movement.
- Recommend that you use the 15 minute timeframe, trade on any currency pair but we suggest you trade GBPJPY currency pair.
Multiple symbols trading
Assign a unique Magic Number(ticketNumber) to each traded symbol. This prevents order identification conflicts and optimizes the Expert Advisor's performance by ensuring efficient trade management.
