Automated hedging system designed to pass prop firm challenges with controlled drawdown
This system consists of two Expert Advisors working in tandem: a Master EA running on your prop firm funded account, and a Slave EA running on a personal recovery account. The Master analyzes the market and generates high-quality signals; the Slave automatically opens an inverse hedge position before the Master enters, providing a safety net that protects your account from unexpected drawdowns.
How It Works — The 4-Stage Protocol
- Signal Detection (Master): The Master EA detects a high-confluence trading opportunity using VuManChu WaveTrend momentum + Smart Money Concepts analysis. It writes the signal to a shared CSV file and waits.
- Hedge Opening (Slave): The Slave EA reads the signal (polling every 500ms), opens an inverse hedge position on the personal account, then sends an ACK confirmation back.
- Real Position Opening (Master): Only after receiving the Slave ACK does the Master open the real funded account position. If no ACK is received within 30 seconds, the trade is aborted — your funded account is never exposed without coverage.
- Active Monitoring: The Master broadcasts all active positions every 5 seconds. If the Master goes offline, the Slave automatically closes its hedge positions after a 60-second timeout to prevent uncovered exposure.
Core safety rule: The Master NEVER opens a position without a confirmed Slave acknowledgment. Zero exceptions.

Requirements
- Two MetaTrader 5 terminals running simultaneously:
- Terminal 1: Prop firm account (Master EA)
- Terminal 2: Personal broker account (Slave EA)
- Both terminals must share the same MetaTrader 5 common data folder (or a mapped/synced folder) for CSV communication files
- Minimum recommended account sizes:
- Master: Any standard prop firm challenge account ($10k–$200k)
- Slave: Personal account with sufficient margin for hedge positions
- VPS recommended for 24/5 operation (low latency between the two terminals is important)
Installation
- Copy MasterEA.mq5 and SlaveEA.mq5 to your MQL5/Experts/ folder
- Copy the custom indicator to your MQL5/Indicators/ folder
- Copy the Include/ library files to your MQL5/Include/ folder
- Compile both EAs in MetaEditor
- Attach the Master EA to a chart on the prop firm terminal — select your trading profile
- Attach the Slave EA to a chart on the personal terminal — ensure MagicBase matches the Master's MagicNumber
- Configure the shared folder path in both EAs under the Communication settings
- The system will self-synchronize automatically on the next signal
Risk Management
- Risk per trade: Configurable as % of account balance (default 1%)
- Daily loss limit: Configurable hard stop for the session
- Maximum simultaneous positions: Configurable per pair and globally
- Drawdown protection: ML Drawdown Predictor reduces lot sizes as drawdown approaches the limit
- Currency exposure limits: Prevents over-exposure to correlated pairs
- Slave recovery formula: Risk_Slave = (Risk_Master / MaxDD_Master) × Recovery_Target
Important Notes
- This system requires two accounts and two terminals. It is not a standalone single-account EA.
- Backtest results shown are from historical optimization. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
- Each trading pair should be optimized independently — settings for EURUSD do not transfer directly to USDJPY.
- The system is designed for serious prop firm traders who understand risk management and are comfortable configuring two terminals.
- Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Use this system at your own risk.
