Master Volume Sniper

KenKem - Master Volume Sniper

A clean, fully-automated volume-profile breakout strategy - tuned out of the box, with a deliberately small set of controls so you manage risk while the EA handles the strategy.

KenKem Master Volume Sniper maps where the market has actually traded - the busy price shelves and the quiet edges - and acts when price breaks decisively out of that structure with the trend behind it. It enters, places a measured stop, optionally banks a partial, moves to break-even, and trails the runner. No martingale. No grid. No averaging into losers. Just one disciplined, rule-based engine doing the same thing every time.

The defaults ship tuned to our flagship configuration - XAUUSD on M5 - so you can attach it and go. It also runs on BTCUSD and other liquid symbols on M3 and M5; in our own testing M5 has been the most consistent timeframe.

Why traders will like it

• Genuinely automated. Attach it, set your risk, enable Algo Trading - it manages entries, stops, partials, break-even and trailing on its own.
• Tuned out of the box. Default settings reflect the configuration that performed best across our extensive historical testing on XAUUSD M5. Nothing to optimize before you start.
• Built around volume-profile structure. Decisions are anchored to where real activity has concentrated - not a stack of lagging oscillators.
• You control risk, the EA controls strategy. The complex internals are pre-set and locked; you only touch the handful of inputs that should be yours - risk per trade, profit-taking, trading hours, news, and execution safety.
• Prop-firm friendly. Built-in daily-loss and total-drawdown caps with cooldowns, plus a tighter "prop" preset, make it straightforward to respect firm limits. An optional Account Guardian can watch your whole account's equity and stop trading before a daily-loss or max-drawdown line is crossed - and it's shared across every KK EA on the terminal, so they respect one common limit.
• Stay informed. Optional trade alerts to Discord, Telegram or Email, plus an optional per-trade CSV log for your own records.
• No dangerous tricks. No martingale, no grid, no hidden recovery mode that blows the account to hide a losing streak.

What it trades

Quick start

1. Attach KenKem Master Volume Sniper (KK-MasterVP) to an XAUUSD M5 chart.
2. Load the included  .set  preset (personal or prop) from the Inputs tab, or just keep the defaults.
3. Set risk per trade to a level you are comfortable with.
4. Enable Algo Trading. That's it - the EA does the rest.

Run it on a demo account first, long enough to see it trade through different conditions, before committing real capital.

The settings you control

KenKem Master Volume Sniper (KK-MasterVP) keeps the dialog short on purpose. The strategy's technical engine is pre-tuned and fixed; what you adjust is the part that should be yours:

Risk per trade

• Risk basis - size by % of balance or a fixed amount (default: % of balance).
• Risk per trade (%) - the percentage of balance put at risk on each trade. Example:  0.5  is calmer,  1.0  is the default,  2.0  roughly doubles the swings.
• Fixed risk (currency) - used when sizing by a fixed amount (e.g.  100  risks $100 per trade).
• Max lot - a hard ceiling on position size ( 0  = the broker's maximum;  0.50  caps every trade at 0.5 lots).
• Skip if min-lot over risk - refuse a trade rather than over-risk when the broker's minimum lot is too large.
• Max slippage (points) - the most slippage you'll accept on entry.

Account protection

• Max daily drawdown (%) - pause new trades once the day's loss hits this level (e.g.  4.4  to respect a typical prop daily-loss rule;  0  turns it off).
• Daily cooldown (hours) - how long to stay paused after a daily-loss breach (e.g.  12 ).
• Max total drawdown (%) - halt trading if overall drawdown reaches this level (e.g.  9 ;  0  turns it off).

Profit taking

• TP1 close (%) - how much of the position to bank at the first target (set 0 to let the full runner work).
• Break-even after TP1 - move the stop to break-even once the first target is reached.

Trading hours to avoid

• Blocked hours - skip specific low-liquidity hours of the day, set in UTC (e.g.  4,16,17  or  9-11 ). The EA works in fixed UTC and auto-detects your broker's server offset, so the same hours apply on any broker.
• Close at session end - optionally flatten open trades when a session closes.

News filter

• Avoid news - pause new entries around high-impact releases.
• Minutes before / after - the size of the news blackout window.
• Use built-in calendar - fall back to the embedded calendar when no custom file is provided.

Execution safety

• Max spread - refuse entries when the spread is wider than you allow.
• Max trades per session - cap how many new trades open per session.

Account Guardian (optional - for funded / prop accounts)

• Enable guardian - turn on a separate safety layer that watches your account equity.
• Daily loss limit (%) / Max drawdown limit (%) - the lines it protects.
• Safety buffer (%) - act this far before each line, not on it.
• On breach - close open trades, or simply block new ones.
• Shared across every KK EA on the same terminal and measured on broker server time, so multiple EAs respect one common daily/overall limit. Off by default - set the percentages to your firm's rules.

Notifications (optional)

• Channel - send trade alerts to Discord, Telegram, Email, or a combination.
• Discord webhook / Telegram token & chat ID - your destinations.
• Alerts cover the whole trade life (open, TP1, break-even, trail, close) and name the strategy + magic number. They are simplified for safety - symbol, action, size, magic and strategy only, never the exact entry/stop/target - so they can't be passed off as a tradable signal feed. They're a heads-up: confirm the exact prices and P&L in your MT5 terminal by the magic number. Off by default.

Trade log (optional)

• Log trades to CSV - append every closed trade to a CSV file in your terminal's Files folder for your own record-keeping.

Misc

• Magic number - set a unique value if you run more than one instance.

(The volume-profile, trend, and exit-engine internals are pre-configured and not exposed - so the dialog stays clean and the tested behavior stays intact.)

Included presets

• Personal - the XAUUSD M5 configuration as tuned.
• Prop - the same engine with tighter risk (lower per-trade risk and firm daily-loss / drawdown caps) to suit funded-account rules.

Load either from the Inputs tab -> Load.

Requirements

• MetaTrader 5, with Algo Trading enabled.
• A broker offering competitive spreads on your chosen symbol (Gold/Bitcoin spreads and commissions directly affect a breakout strategy - test on the account you intend to run).
• Recommended: VPS for uninterrupted operation.

An honest word on performance

The default settings were chosen from extensive historical backtesting and walk-forward / Monte-Carlo robustness checks. That work tells us the strategy has behaved sensibly across many market conditions - but a backtest is a study of the past, not a prediction of the future. Live results differ from tests because spread, slippage, latency, news and broker conditions are never identical. Drawdowns are a normal part of any real strategy; size your risk for the deep dips, not the headline numbers. Test on demo, start small, and only ever risk capital you can afford to lose.
