WeekAnchor Eight is a portfolio-style Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that manages up to 8 FX pairs from a single chart. Each pair is handled independently, with its own magic number, lot settings, maximum-spread filter, and risk configuration. You attach the EA to one liquid FX chart (H1 recommended); the standard preset is easiest to read on a GBPJPY H1 chart, but internally the EA monitors every enabled pair independently.
This is not a martingale, grid, or arbitrage system. Its design combines a price anchor set at the weekly open, D1 ATR-based protective levels, and diversified management across multiple pairs. Entry timing is fixed internally — you do not need to configure day-of-week, time-of-day, or any fine-grained logic yourself.
Version 1.6 makes the on-chart dashboard translucent (the candles stay visible through it) and adds an optional Prop Firm Mode — a daily-loss limit and total-loss floor for prop-firm accounts, with a choice of alert-only or close-this-EA on breach. The dashboard added in 1.5, Crisis Guard from 1.3, and the Portfolio Safety controls and Weekend-Gap Conditioner from 1.2 all remain built in. Every one of these optional trading features is off by default. Unless you explicitly enable them, the EA behaves exactly as previous versions did. (The dashboard defaults to on, but it is display-only — it cannot place, modify or close a trade.)

What's New in v1.6
Prop Firm Mode (input = InpPropMode, default OFF)
An optional guard for prop-firm accounts. You enter your firm's rules and the EA polices itself against them:
- Daily loss limit — measured on account equity from a day-start anchor (reset hour configurable; on IC Markets the default equals 17:00 New York year-round). A daily halt resumes automatically the next day.
- Total loss floor — measured from the starting balance you enter. A floor halt persists until you reload the EA.
- Breach action, your choice — CLOSE THIS EA (closes this EA's own positions and halts its entries) or ALERT ONLY (pops a terminal alert, turns the dashboard row red and logs — it never closes or blocks anything). Switchable live via a button on the dashboard.
Read this before relying on it. The limits are measured on your whole account's equity, because that is how prop firms measure — but the action only ever touches this EA's own positions, identified by magic number. Other EAs' and manual positions are never closed. It reduces the chance of breaching your firm's rules; it does not eliminate it (gaps and slippage can carry equity through a limit), and it does not guarantee you pass anything.
One-click Risk Profile dropdown
A new Risk Profile input at the top of the risk settings: pick Fixed 0.01 (as the live signal) / Conservative 1% / Standard 2% / Aggressive 3% and it applies to all 8 pairs at once — no set file needed for the standard ladder. The default, Manual, changes nothing (your per-pair settings apply exactly as before). Each dropdown label states the profile's measured practical minimum account size, and if your equity is below the profile you picked, the EA warns you at startup instead of silently skipping trades. This came directly from a customer suggestion.
Translucent dashboard + equity row
The panel is now genuinely translucent (adjustable via InpDashboardOpacity) so your candles stay visible. It shows per-pair floating and realized P/L, trades closed, the sizing each pair is using, the current spread, guard state, and totals. A new equity row shows Balance / Credit / Equity and warns you when broker bonus credit is present, because risk-% sizing and the equity stop read MT5's equity figure, which includes credit. The panel is display-only and draws nothing during a non-visual backtest.
Crisis Guard (added in v1.3; optional, off by default)
This EA is a long-only portfolio in which 6 of the 8 supported pairs are JPY crosses. Its largest tail risk is therefore a sharp, one-directional yen-strength shock at intervention scale, or a carry-trade unwind, in which all JPY crosses fall together. Crisis Guard (input = InpUseCrisisGuard, default OFF) is an optional, insurance-style protection for exactly that situation. It acts in stages: on the first signs of crisis it skips new entries and raises the stop-loss to break-even on positions already in profit; if the shock broadens across several JPY crosses it then closes all of this EA's positions at market in one batch. When the crisis clears it returns to normal automatically. The detection method is fixed internally and not disclosed; the only control exposed to you is ON/OFF.
An honest framing (please read). Crisis Guard is insurance, not a profit booster. Enabling it can reduce drawdown during tail (crash) events, but in exchange you give up part of your profit during normal conditions. It is a past / simulation reference only and does not promise any specific figures or future performance — an optional feature to choose according to your own risk tolerance.
Safety. Including the batch close, the only positions this feature touches are those opened by this EA itself, identified by magic number — never other EAs' or manual positions. Crisis Guard mitigates the tail risk; it does not eliminate it — during violent moves price can gap through the stop.
Set Files (.set)
Risk-level set files (for example, 1% / 2% / 3% risk) plus a fixed-lot file matching the live signal are posted in the Comments section of this product page. Download the one that fits your account size and risk tolerance, and validate it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account. If you can't find a configuration you need, just ask in the Comments.
Please match the file to your balance — this matters more than it looks. The stop-loss is 3× the daily ATR (a deliberately wide stop), so on a small account the lot computed from a risk % can fall below the broker minimum (0.01), and the EA then skips the trade entirely rather than rounding up. It shows no error; you simply get fewer trades than you expected. Measured over a 3.5-year backtest, the balance each risk-% file needs before it takes every trade: 1% → about $10,000 (at $1,000 it took none at all), 2% → about $5,000 (at $1,000 it took only ~41% of its trades), 3% → about $1,500. On an account around $1,000 or smaller, use a fixed-lot file instead — 0.01 never changes, so it works at any balance. Note that RiskPercent is specified per pair, not across the whole portfolio, so combined risk grows when several pairs open at once. The manual has the full table and the drawdown figures for each.
Parameter Overview

- News Filter (optional, off by default): InpUseNewsFilter, InpNewsFilterFomc, InpNewsFilterNfp, InpNewsFilterFix, InpServerGmtWinter, InpServerUsesUsDst — honest note: in a 3.5-year backtest this filter never actually blocked an entry (every entry is on a Monday; FOMC is a Wednesday and NFP a Friday, so the windows do not overlap). It ships for completeness and is not a reason to buy this EA.

Before You Use It
Attach the EA once (not more than once) to a single H1 chart, and confirm that each supported symbol is available in Market Watch. Pairs that lack sufficient history are automatically excluded from that run after logging WAE8_PAIR_DISABLED, in which case the results will not include all 8 pairs.
Risk Disclosure
This product is an automated trading tool. It is not investment advice. It does not guarantee profits, nor does it guarantee against losses. The descriptions, configuration examples, Strategy Tester results, screenshots, and manual on this page are all reference information and do not guarantee future profit, win rate, drawdown, or number of trades. The screenshots are historical Strategy Tester simulations (modeling quality 100%) run with Crisis Guard OFF; "Conservative / Aggressive" denote per-pair RiskPercent differences, not an expected-return size.
FX and CFD trading carry various risks of loss, including market volatility, liquidity, spread widening, slippage, execution delays, system failures, communication failures, and differences between broker environments. JPY crosses in particular can experience sharp, one-directional moves driven by yen-buying intervention or a carry-trade unwind. Depending on your account conditions, losses may exceed your deposited capital. Whether negative-balance protection (zero-cut) applies depends on each broker's account conditions, so please check the specifications of the broker you intend to use. Before live operation, always run a Strategy Tester check in the broker environment you intend to use, then conduct forward testing on a demo account or with minimum lots. All use of this product is at your own responsibility and discretion.
