Follow six markets from one MT5 chart without coordinating a separate EA for each. Four of the 11 built-in strategies trade USDJPY and three trade Bitcoin. EURUSD, GBPUSD, Gold and the US100 equity index each have one. The EA uses H1, H2 and H4 data on a hedging account and manages entries and exits for each strategy.
The initial risk budget is split equally per strategy, not per market. USDJPY therefore gets more strategy budgets than Gold; that does not mean gains in one market will offset losses in another. Screenshots 3 and 4 show the MT5 results and the balance and equity curves for the Standard 5% historical test. The 5% is a sizing budget, not a loss ceiling.
Low 2%, Standard 5%, High 10% and Custom let you adjust the common sizing budget while keeping the same strategy mix. These percentages are sizing settings, not guaranteed loss limits. The portfolio does not use martingale sizing or grid averaging. If a broker's minimum trade size would exceed the allowed sizing budget, the EA skips that trade.
The published history lets you inspect results across separate Development, Validation and Final periods, alongside the current Standard reference. All are historical simulations, not live or forward returns. Different markets can lose together; broader market coverage does not remove trading risk.

Why multi-asset?
A single market or strategy can behave differently as market conditions change.
This portfolio combines FX, Gold, a US equity index and Bitcoin within one risk framework. The aim is to reduce dependence on a single market or entry model while keeping operation simple.
Fixed portfolio composition:
- USDJPY - 4 modules
- BTCUSD - 3 modules
- EURUSD - 1 module
- GBPUSD - 1 module
- XAUUSD - 1 module
- US100 - 1 module
Timeframes:
- H1 - 5 modules
- H2 - 2 modules
- H4 - 4 modules
Each module receives an equal share of the portfolio's initial risk budget.
Diversification does not eliminate risk. Markets can become correlated and several modules can lose at the same time.
Choose risk by drawdown tolerance
The following historical drawdowns come from different test versions: Low 2% and High 10% use the earlier risk-profile validation reports; Standard 5% uses Version 1.012. Each used USD100,000 initial capital and Balance-based sizing. These are not three results from the current release:
- Low 2% - 4.96%
- Standard 5% - 11.01%
- High 10% - 19.81%
These are historical backtest results, not future loss limits or forecasts.
| Mode | Portfolio Risk | Historical Relative Equity DD |
| Low | 2% | 4.96% |
| Standard - default | 5% | 11.01% |
| High | 10% | 19.81% |
| Custom | Your value | Depends on the selected risk and trading conditions |
Reference: The 2% and 10% results are from the earlier risk-profile validation reports; the 5% result is the Version 1.012 Standard reference. Production backtests from 8 May 2017 to 30 June 2026, USD100,000 initial deposit, Balance-based sizing, 1:100 leverage, one-minute OHLC, custom symbols and reference trading costs.
Historical drawdown is not a future maximum-loss guarantee.
Low is intended for users who prefer smaller position sizes and lower historical drawdown.
Standard is the default setting and provides a middle ground between portfolio participation and historical drawdown.
High is intended for users who are comfortable with substantially larger drawdowns.
Custom lets you enter your own percentage directly, for example 3.0% or 6.5%.
The normal reference range is 2-10%. Selected stress tests between 0.55% and 20% were also performed on the USD100,000 Balance reference account. This does not mean every value, account size or broker environment will behave identically.
How risk control works
The selected Portfolio Risk is divided across the eleven modules.
For each trade, position size is calculated from:
- the selected Balance or Equity base
- entry price
- stop-loss distance
- the broker's contract and volume specifications
The EA also checks risk from its own open positions and pending orders before allowing additional exposure.
If the broker's minimum lot would exceed the allowed risk, the EA skips the trade instead of increasing lot size.
Changing Portfolio Risk changes position sizing. It does not change the underlying signal logic, stop-loss formula or portfolio membership.
Actual trade participation can still change because of minimum lot sizes, margin requirements, rounding and already-open positions. Returns and drawdowns therefore do not scale perfectly with the selected percentage.
Balance uses closed account balance for sizing and is the default.
Equity includes floating profit and loss when calculating position size.
Historical production evidence
All results below are Production Backtests, not live or forward performance.
| Test | Period | Risk | PF | Trades | Relative Equity DD |
| Development | 2017-05-08 to 2022-12-31 | 1.10% | 1.42 | 1,959 | 2.75% |
| Validation | 2023-01-01 to 2024-12-31 | 1.10% | 1.30 | 721 | 2.62% |
| Final | 2025-01-01 to 2026-06-30 | 1.10% | 1.58 | 517 | 2.84% |
| Combined - current Standard setting | 2017-05-08 to 2026-06-30 | 5.00% | 1.43 | 3,187 | 11.01% |
For Version 1.012 at Standard 5%, MT5 reports Equity Drawdown Relative of 11.01% (USD 45,905.23) and Equity Drawdown Maximal of USD 74,956.26 (8.84%). The largest percentage decline and largest dollar decline occurred at different equity levels. Neither percentage uses the initial deposit as its denominator. The report shows 60% history quality; the configured model is one-minute OHLC.
Images 3 and 4 are saved crops of the native MT5 tester results and Balance / Equity graph for the Version 1.012 Standard reference. The existing crop files are used unchanged; no displayed values or graph lines have been redrawn. The graph includes Balance, Equity and Deposit Load. The results crop starts at Bars and the MT5 cache view rounds USD amounts to whole dollars. Its history-quality display is not restored by the cache viewer; the original exported HTML report remains the source for the 60% history-quality value and decimal amounts.
Portfolio diagrams, period and risk-profile tables, and monthly summaries are supplementary explanations, not native MT5 screens. These images show historical simulations, not live or forward returns.
Development, Validation and Final were performed using the original 1.10% validation profile. They are separate historical phases and should not be interpreted as 5% tests.
The Combined result uses the current Standard 5% setting and covers the full period. Because it overlaps the three phases above, it is not an additional independent sample.
Results can differ between brokers because of spreads, commissions, swaps, symbol specifications, margin rules and execution. One-minute OHLC simulation cannot reproduce every live tick or fill.
There is currently no dedicated public live or forward record for this product.
News and weekend controls
For guarded markets, live operation uses the native MT5 Economic Calendar with caching and failure handling.
If required calendar data is unavailable or stale, new entries for affected modules are blocked rather than silently trading without the guard.
BTCUSD modules are not filtered by the economic-news guard.
The portfolio also includes defined Friday/weekend controls and is not designed for continuous weekend Bitcoin trading.
News controls, stop losses and weekend rules cannot prevent every gap, execution failure or market shock.
Account size and broker compatibility
USD100,000 is the reference backtest balance. It is not a minimum required deposit.
Smaller accounts can behave differently because a broker's minimum lot may be too large for the selected risk.
When this happens, the EA skips the trade instead of exceeding the risk allowance. If many trades are skipped, the effective portfolio can differ from the reference backtest, especially for Bitcoin, Gold and index modules.
Tests on USD10,000, USD25,000 and USD50,000 accounts covered risk settings between 0.55% and 2.20%. The published 5% and 10% reference results should not be assumed to apply directly to those account sizes.
Symbol compatibility
Broker symbol names vary.
The EA supports automatic detection of common aliases and broker prefixes/suffixes. Each of the six markets also supports manual symbol mapping.
Examples:
- XAUUSD / GOLD
- US100 / USTEC / NAS100
- BTCUSD / XBTUSD
- broker-specific FX suffixes
All six markets are required to reproduce Full Portfolio Mode.
If a market is unavailable, the affected modules remain inactive while available modules can continue operating. Risk assigned to an unavailable module is not redistributed to the others.
Use the free Market demo to confirm compatibility with your broker before purchasing.
Setup
- Install the free Market demo and run the EA in MT5 Strategy Tester.
- Check the six detected symbol mappings and adjust manual overrides if needed.
- Confirm that you are using a hedging account.
- Select your Risk Mode and Risk Base.
- Review Strategy Tester results, Experts log and module participation.
- After purchase or rental, attach one EA instance to one chart and keep MT5 connected with Algo Trading enabled.
The attached chart timeframe does not control the internal strategies. The EA reads H1, H2 and H4 data internally.
You do not need eleven charts or eleven EA instances.
A VPS can improve terminal availability but cannot guarantee connectivity, calendar availability or trading results.
Free demo
The MQL5 Market demo lets you test the EA in Strategy Tester before purchasing.
Use it to check:
- broker symbol mapping
- initialization
- Risk settings
- multi-symbol operation
- historical behavior
The Market demo is a Strategy Tester evaluation, not a live-account trial, and does not predict future performance.
Rental is also available if you prefer a shorter commitment before purchasing the full license.
Who this product is for
This EA may suit users who:
- want a fixed multi-market portfolio instead of a single-market system
- understand that drawdowns and losing periods are unavoidable
- want direct control over portfolio risk
- can verify broker compatibility before live use
- prefer defined-risk sizing over martingale or grid recovery
It is not intended for users who expect guaranteed monthly profits, zero drawdown or identical results across all brokers.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a martingale or grid EA?
No. The portfolio does not use loss-recovery lot escalation or grid averaging. Multiple fixed modules can trade the same market independently, but this is not a recovery basket.
Do I need eleven charts?
No. One EA instance manages all eleven modules.
Can I change the risk?
Yes. Choose Low, Standard or High, or enter a Custom Portfolio Risk value.
Is USD100,000 required?
No. It is the reference backtest balance. Smaller accounts can be used, but minimum lot and margin constraints may change trade participation.
What if my broker uses GOLD instead of XAUUSD, or USTEC instead of US100?
The EA supports automatic detection of common aliases and manual overrides.
What happens if my broker does not offer one of the six markets?
The relevant modules remain inactive. The EA can continue operating with available markets, but this is not the same portfolio tested in the published Full Portfolio results.
Does the news guard guarantee protection from news losses?
No. It controls exposure around specified scheduled events on guarded markets. It cannot eliminate gaps, slippage, unscheduled news or execution risk.
Why might my trades differ from the published backtest?
Broker data, spreads, swaps, commissions, contract specifications, execution timing, margin, lot rounding and skipped trades can all create differences.
Does BTC trade throughout the weekend?
No. BTC modules follow the portfolio's weekend controls.
Do I need a VPS?
Not strictly, but continuous terminal availability is important for automated trading. A VPS can help maintain uptime.
How can I get support?
Use MQL5 Comments or MQL5 Messages. Include the EA version, settings, broker symbol names and relevant log extracts. Never send account passwords or credentials.
Support covers installation, technical issues and product operation. It does not include profit guarantees or personal investment advice.
Risk disclosure
Trading can result in loss of capital.
Diversification, stop losses, position sizing, news controls and portfolio risk checks do not eliminate trading risk or guarantee a maximum realized loss.
All published results are historical Production Backtests under the stated conditions. They are not predictions, guarantees or maximum-loss limits.
Choose a Risk setting only after considering both your drawdown tolerance and the actual trade participation produced by your broker and account size.
