- Activations: 10
Silver alternates between quiet consolidation and fast, powerful moves. Silver Squeeze waits for the quiet phase and joins the breakout in the trend direction.
HOW IT WORKS
- Squeeze: Bollinger Bands inside the Keltner Channel (Keltner multiplier 1.25, at least 3 bars).
- Enters on the breakout close, only in the direction of the 100 EMA.
- 2.5 ATR stop loss, 4.5 ATR take profit, break-even after 1 ATR, then a 2 ATR trailing stop.

RISK MANAGEMENT
- Every trade has a hard stop loss. No grid, no martingale, no averaging down, no hedging tricks.
- Lot size is calculated from your risk % and the stop distance, so it scales with your account.
- Daily loss limit and a margin cap protect the account on bad days.
- Optional maximum-spread filter (off by default because point sizes differ between brokers - set it for your broker if you like).
BROKER AND SETTINGS
- Session hours are broker SERVER time. Defaults were tested on a GMT+2 (winter) / GMT+3 (summer) server, which most MT5 brokers use. If your broker uses another offset, shift the session hours accordingly.
- Works with any symbol suffix (XAGUSD, XAGUSD.m, XAGUSDx ...): attach it to the chart of the symbol you want to trade.
- A low-spread / raw-spread account is recommended. Backtests include commission of about 7 USD per lot round turn.
- Minimum deposit: 300 USD. Use 0.5-1% risk per trade; start lower on a live account.
- A VPS is recommended so the EA runs 24/5.
HOW TO START
