Duelist MT5

Duelist is a dual-module Expert Advisor designed to trade EURUSD and AUDCAD from a single EURUSD chart. Each module uses its own pair-specific trading logic and operates independently, with separate Magic Numbers, direction controls, lot sizing, trading schedules and protection settings. You can enable EURUSD, AUDCAD or both modules according to your preferred configuration.

Duelist uses a managed basket and grid approach. When its strategy conditions are met, a directional basket may contain multiple positions. With Hedge Mode enabled, BUY and SELL baskets can operate independently at the same time. When disabled, Duelist prevents a new opposite basket from opening while an existing directional basket remains active.



Key Features

• Two independent trading modules: EURUSD and AUDCAD.
• Both modules are managed from one EA instance attached to the EURUSD chart.
• Automatic detection of common broker prefixes and suffixes for the integrated AUDCAD module.
• Automatic balance-based lot sizing with selectable sizing presets, or fixed initial lots.
• Independent direction, spread, trading-calendar and protection settings for each module.
• Optional module-level Total Stop Loss, measured in account currency or as a percentage of balance.
• Automatic economic-news filtering and dedicated calendar protections.
• Existing baskets remain under normal management when new basket entries are temporarily paused.
• Responsive dashboard showing module status, current exposure, floating results and historical statistics.
• Protected two-click controls for closing BUY or SELL positions belonging to each module.
• Open-position recognition after a terminal restart, EA reattachment or VPS change. Duelist checks positions matching the configured symbol and Magic Number and reports whether they were recognized and whether their management path is active.

Risk Management

Each module can be configured independently according to the account size and preferred level of exposure. In addition to the optional Total Stop Loss, both modules include internal margin-safety controls.

Duelist is a basket-based system. Auto Lot and Fixed Lot settings define the starting volume, not the maximum exposure of a complete basket. During an active grid sequence, additional positions may be opened and total exposure may increase.

Conservative sizing, sufficient free margin and reliable execution are therefore essential. Stop and close operations remain subject to market conditions and broker execution.

Live performance may differ because of spreads, slippage, liquidity, commissions, swaps and broker execution conditions.

Development Approach

Duelist is built around pair-specific trading logic rather than being designed to reproduce an artificially perfect equity curve from a single backtest.

Its development process is intended to limit overfitting and avoids fictional trade scenarios, unrealistic execution assumptions or misleading performance simulations.

Recommended Configuration

• Attach Duelist to: your broker's EURUSD symbol
• Recommended chart timeframe: M15
• Account type: MT5 Hedging account
• Minimum recommended deposit when using both modules: $1,000 or equivalent
• Low spreads and stable execution are recommended.
• A stable VPS is strongly recommended for uninterrupted operation.
• No external indicators are required.

Why Choose Duelist?

Duelist is designed for traders seeking diversification from XAUUSD and Gold-based automated systems, while maintaining a more structured, manageable and controlled approach to Forex basket trading. Its two modules provide exposure to different currency-pair dynamics through one centralized interface.
