1. Product Overview
HBT GLOBAL RANGE is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor designed to monitor a diversified set of markets and participate in qualifying range-breakout opportunities through broker-visible pending orders. Each supported symbol uses its own sealed strategy configuration.
What the product provides?
• A multi-symbol portfolio built around ten canonical market families.
• Automatic broker-symbol matching, including common aliases, prefixes and suffixes.
• Independent symbol availability checks: one missing market does not stop the others.
• Five customer-selectable position-sizing modes plus a portfolio fixed-lot override.
• Ten independent new-entry switches and ten optional broker-symbol overrides.
• A read-only portfolio panel for account, execution, position and P/L monitoring.

2. Symbol Coverage and Routing
The product recognizes broker symbols by canonical family. The broker's literal name may include an alias, prefix, suffix, or both.
Canonical family Recognized aliases BTCUSD BTCUSD, XBTCUSD GER40 GER40, DE40, DAX40, GER30, DE30 ETHUSD ETHUSD EURJPY EURJPY EURUSD EURUSD GBPUSD GBPUSD DJ30 DJ30, US30, WS30, DOW30 SP500 SP500, US500, SPX500 USDJPY USDJPY NAS100 NAS100, USTEC, USTECH, US100, NDX100
Accepted broker-name patterns
Examples include m.EURUSD, pro_NAS100, EURUSD.a, USTECm, GBPUSD+, and m.NAS100.a. If automatic matching is ambiguous, enter the broker's exact symbol in the corresponding Symbol Override input.
Routing contract
• Live/demo: available Top 10 families are resolved independently; an unavailable family is skipped without stopping the remaining portfolio.
• Strategy Tester on a recognized family (for example NAS100, USTEC, USTECH.a or m.USTEC): portfolio mode remains active.
• Strategy Tester on a symbol outside all Top 10 families (for example XAUUSD): the EA runs that tester host symbol only.
• If a broker offers 8 of 10 families, the EA runs those 8 and skips the other 2; it does not fall back to a single host symbol.
EXPECTED STATUS: Missing broker markets are an availability condition, not a portfolio-wide failure. The panel lists only symbols that resolved successfully for the current run.

Product Trade Identity
Setting Default Meaning Magic Number Suffix (0-999; 0 = Sealed Base) 0 Adds a customer suffix to each sealed trade identifier.

Position Sizing Method
Control priority
Dropdown choice Primary field Customer meaning Fixed lot Fixed lot size Uses the requested fixed volume, subject to broker volume rules and the configured maximum. Balance-Based Sizing Balance per 0.01 Lot Scales volume from the selected capital basis using the customer balance-step setting. Risk per Trade (%) Risk per Trade (%) Targets a percentage-based trade risk using the active capital basis and available protective price level. Fixed Cash Risk Cash Risk per Trade Targets a cash-denominated trade risk using the available protective price level. Strategy DD Budget (%) Strategy DD Budget (%) Uses the selected portfolio budget with sealed per-symbol calibration. It is a sizing input, not a guaranteed drawdown limit.
• Force One Fixed Lot for All Symbols = true has the highest sizing priority.
• Otherwise, Apply These Risk Settings to All Symbols = true applies the common risk block to every resolved symbol.
• When the common risk block is false, each symbol keeps its sealed product sizing configuration. The panel may show MIXED SIZING.
RISK TARGETS ARE NOT GUARANTEES Gaps, slippage, spread expansion, commission, swaps, broker execution and missing or changed protection levels can make actual results differ from any requested risk amount or percentage.
