Astra Neural Engine

Neural Gold Trading. Two Time Horizons. One Engine.

Astra Neural Gold brings a complete neural trading workflow directly into MetaTrader 5: local model training, adaptive market analysis and controlled automated execution — with no Python installation, no DLLs and no external AI subscription.

Built specifically for Gold (XAUUSD), Astra combines two Temporal Convolutional Network branches with a causal Transformer to analyze both short-term and wider historical market patterns. The result is a directional evaluation expressed in net R, designed to connect the model’s analysis to the actual risk and reward structure of each trade.

Key Features

• Dual TCN architecture: analyzes recent market behavior and longer historical context on the same timeframe
• Causal Transformer: combines both temporal perspectives without accessing future bars during inference
• Net R decision output: estimates LONG and SHORT outcomes relative to the initial stop distance
• Fully local training: train and run the model inside MetaTrader 5
• Automated execution: entries, exits, risk controls and position sizing managed by the EA
• No external dependencies: no Python, no DLL, no cloud AI subscription

How the Neural Engine Works

Astra does not rely on a single model or a single time horizon. It uses two parallel TCN branches to read the same chart timeframe from different temporal perspectives.

• Local TCN: focuses on shorter sequences, identifying recent price behavior, volatility conditions and momentum patterns
• Wide TCN: examines a broader historical window, adding longer-term context to the analysis
• Causal Transformer: processes the combined representation and helps the model evaluate relationships across the available sequence

The output layer produces separate LONG and SHORT estimates in net R. The complete architecture — both TCN branches and the Transformer — is trained jointly.

From Neural Analysis to Trading Decisions

Astra is not only a model trainer. It is a complete trading system inside MetaTrader 5.

After training, the EA compares the directional estimates with its configured entry threshold and applies execution and risk checks. It can:

• Enter LONG
• Enter SHORT
• Remain out of the market

The EA does not need to open a trade on every bar. Its goal is to act only when the model output and the configured trading conditions align.

Because the output is expressed in net R, the model’s evaluation is directly related to the trade’s stop distance, rather than being a generic probability score.

Train Locally. Keep Full Control.

Use the TRAIN mode in the Strategy Tester to prepare features, targets and train the neural network directly inside MetaTrader 5.

• Select the historical interval using the Strategy Tester dates
• No separate CSV export is required for the standard workflow
• Historical bars and ticks must be available from your broker
• Choose a chronological validation percentage, or train on all eligible samples with validation disabled
• A star beside NEW BEST indicates an improvement in the selected loss metric

TRADE mode uses a saved model with fixed weights. Training and trading are separate operations, so the model does not silently change while the EA is running.

Quick Start

Astra Neural Gold includes a pre-trained, ready-to-use Gold model. For a quick first test, use the following configuration:

1. Disable ExecutionCheck
2. Set the Gold historical period from 1 January 2025 to today
3. Use the included pre-trained model, ready for use
4. Review the Journal during training and trading
5. Check your broker’s spread, commission and execution conditions

The Gold reference uses XAUUSD M30. Other symbols, timeframes and configurations require their own preparation, model training and testing.

Built-In Execution and Risk Controls

Astra includes practical execution controls designed for a more disciplined automated workflow:

• Volatility-based stop loss and take profit
• Position sizing based on configured risk
• Maximum holding period
• Order volume, margin and exposure checks
• Daily loss and drawdown controls that can pause new entries

These controls are designed to support disciplined execution, but they cannot guarantee a maximum realized loss in the event of price gaps, low liquidity or execution differences.

Commission and slippage assumptions are part of model preparation. The reference configuration models 0.0025% commission per side and two points of slippage per side. Actual broker spread, commissions, swaps and execution conditions can affect live results.

Launch Pricing

Launch price: USD 97 for the first 20 licenses.

The price increases automatically as cumulative license sales reach each threshold. Every tier includes the same full product functionality; only the purchase price changes.

Prices apply to future purchases at each threshold. Existing licenses do not require a tier upgrade payment.

Trading involves the risk of capital loss. Historical results do not guarantee future performance.
