ROUGE & NOIR — The Casino Inside Your Terminal
Let's be honest: sometimes you don't want a strategy. You want a spin.
Rouge & Noir turns any MT5 chart into a roulette table. No indicators to interpret, no signals to wait for, no promises of riches. Just you, two big buttons, and a ball that settles in seconds.
HOW A SPIN WORKS
Every bet opens a market order with a stop loss and a take profit placed at exactly the same ATR distance — two rails, same gap, pure 50/50. Whichever rail price touches first decides the spin. Black is long. Red is short. That's the whole rulebook.
Because the rails are measured in ATR and the bet is sized in money, the game feels identical on every table: EURUSD, NAS100, Gold — same spin speed, same stakes, same thrill.
TWO WAYS TO PLAY
BUTTON MODE — You are the gambler. Tap BLACK or RED and watch the ball roll.
CROUPIER MODE — You are the spectator. The EA spins automatically, round after round, while you sip your coffee.
Feeling lucky? Hit LUCKY 37: a long-shot side bet that pays 5x when it lands.
CALL BETS — THE WHEEL MEETS THE CHART
In French roulette, special bets announced to the croupier are called "call bets." Ours are made of pure price action:
BREAKOUT — the EA finds the nearest swing high and swing low, draws them on your chart, and arms your bet. The moment price breaks either level (plus an ATR buffer), your bet fires WITH the break.
FAKEOUT — same trigger, opposite conviction: when the break comes, you bet AGAINST it.
While armed, you watch price drift between the two golden rails — the most delicious wait in trading. No break within the timeout? Your chips come straight back. Call bets pay even money through the same symmetric bracket, so they work with every betting system.
And here is the twist for the curious: the scoreboard tracks win rate PER BET TYPE. Red/black, breakout, fakeout, Lucky 37 — all separately. Run a hundred spins and discover something real about your market: does it trend, or does it fake? The only roulette wheel with memory.
SEVEN LEGENDARY BETTING SYSTEMS
Gamblers have spent three centuries inventing ways to ride a coin flip. We built all the famous ones into a single button:
FLAT — same bet every spin. Roulette in its purest form.
MARTINGALE — double after every loss. Legendary. Reckless. Capped here.
PAROLI — double after every win, bank the streak at three.
D'ALEMBERT — one step up on a loss, one step down on a win.
FIBONACCI — losses climb the sequence, wins walk it back.
LABOUCHERE — write a line, clear the line, hit your session goal. The panel shows your remaining line live.
OSCAR'S GRIND — slow, patient grinding toward one quiet unit.
None of them beats the math — every one of them changes the ride. All seven share a hard max-bet cap you control, the panel always previews your next bet, and Lucky 37 always stays a flat side bet that never feeds the progression.
THE TABLE
Live ball bar — watch price race between LOSS and WIN, tick by tick
Full scoreboard — wins, losses, win rate, hot and cold streaks
Session bankroll — start with 20 chips; bust them and the table closes
Last 12 spins board — gold wins, red losses, green lucky hits, blue call-bet wins
CASH OUT button — close a spin early or cancel an armed call bet
Sound effects and a one-click dark casino chart theme
AN HONEST CASINO
Here is the part no casino will ever tell you, printed right on the panel: the house edge is the spread, and Rouge & Noir displays it live before every spin. The math is simple and the math is negative — this is entertainment, not an investment. Think of it as the arcade machine of your trading room: a contained, fun place to burn the urge to click, while your serious systems run in peace.
Many traders run it on a demo account as a "dopamine sandbox." If you play it live, play it like a night out: only with money you'd happily spend on fun.

DISCLAIMER
Rouge & Noir is an entertainment product. Every spin has a negative expected value equal to trading costs (spread/commission). It is not a trading strategy, does not predict markets, and will not make you money over time — by design. Betting progressions do not change the expected value; they only change the distribution of outcomes, and aggressive ones increase the risk of large losses. Trading involves risk; never play with funds you cannot afford to lose.
ROUGE & NOIR — USER GUIDE
INSTALLATION
Copy RougeNoir.ex5 to your terminal (or buy/install directly from the Market), open any chart — any symbol, any timeframe — drag the EA onto it and make sure Algo Trading is enabled. The table appears on the left, the casino chart theme is applied automatically (can be disabled with the "Apply casino chart theme" input). Works on demo and live accounts; on a live account the panel shows a red LIVE — REAL MONEY badge.
One chart = one table. You can open several tables on different symbols at the same time. If you want two tables on the SAME symbol, give each instance a different Magic number input.
THE TABLE AT A GLANCE
From top to bottom:
Info block: current bracket distance (in points and ATR), live spread and the house edge it creates, your next bet converted to lots, and the active betting-system state (including the live Labouchere line).
CROUPIER toggle: automatic random red/black spins with a countdown between rounds. The croupier only plays red/black.
SYSTEM button: cycles through the seven betting systems. Can only be changed while the table is idle.
BLACK / RED: instant bets. Black is long, red is short.
BREAKOUT / FAKEOUT: call bets armed on the nearest swing high/low (see section 4).
LUCKY 37: flat 1-unit side bet, random direction, pays about 5x (~1 in 6 chance).
CASH OUT: closes an open spin early at market; while a call bet is armed it becomes CANCEL BET.
Ball bar: live progress of the open spin between LOSS and WIN (or between the two trigger rails while armed).
Scoreboard: spins, wins, losses, win rate, streaks, session P&L, and win rate per bet type (RB / BRK / FKO / L37).
Bankroll bar and LAST 12 SPINS history: gold = red/black win, dark red = loss, green = Lucky 37 hit, blue = call-bet win.
RESET SESSION: refills the chips and clears all stats.
Status line: every message from the table appears here.
PLACING BETS
Tap BLACK or RED and the spin opens instantly with a symmetric stop loss and take profit at the same ATR distance. The first level touched settles the spin. One bet at a time — the table waits for the ball to land before accepting the next one. Switching the croupier ON keeps the table spinning by itself; tapping a bet button during the countdown overrides the croupier with your own bet.
CALL BETS (BREAKOUT / FAKEOUT)
When you tap BREAKOUT or FAKEOUT, the EA finds the nearest confirmed swing high above price and swing low below price, draws the two trigger levels on the chart (swing +/- an ATR buffer) and arms your bet. Whichever level price breaks first fires the spin: BREAKOUT bets with the break, FAKEOUT bets against it. While armed, the ball bar shows price drifting between the rails. If no break comes within the timeout (default 15 minutes), the bet is returned. Cancel any time with CANCEL BET. While idle, the upcoming swing levels are previewed as dotted lines.
BETTING SYSTEMS
All seven systems size your NEXT bet from the result of the previous even-money spin (red/black and call bets count; Lucky 37 never does):
FLAT: same bet every spin.
MARTINGALE: double after a loss, reset after a win.
PAROLI: double after a win, bank and reset after three in a row.
D'ALEMBERT: one unit up after a loss, one unit down after a win.
FIBONACCI: step forward in the sequence on a loss, two steps back on a win.
LABOUCHERE: bet = first + last of your line; a win crosses them off, a loss appends the lost amount. Clear the line, hit your goal. Starting line is configurable.
OSCAR'S GRIND: raise by one unit only after wins, cycle ends at +1 unit.
Every system obeys the Max bet cap input (in multiples of your base bet). The panel always previews the next bet before you tap.
BET SIZING AND BROKER NOTES — PLEASE READ
Your bet is defined in money, not lots: the EA converts "Bet per spin" into a lot size so that hitting the stop loses roughly that amount. IMPORTANT: the actual stake depends on your broker's minimum lot, lot step and contract size. The EA rounds the computed lot down to the broker's volume step and clamps it between the broker's minimum and maximum lot. On symbols with large contract sizes or coarse lot steps, even the SMALLEST tradable lot may risk more than the bet you configured — in that case your broker, not the input, sets your real table minimum. On other symbols rounding may make the effective bet slightly smaller. The live "Bet -> lot" line on the panel always shows the truth; glance at it before you play a new symbol, and size your bankroll to the effective bet, not the nominal one.
ANY SYMBOL, ANY TIMEFRAME
Rouge & Noir is symbol-independent by design. The bracket is measured in ATR and the bet in money, so a spin on EURUSD, NAS100 or XAUUSD takes a similar time and risks a similar amount — the same game on every table. The chart timeframe only affects swing detection for call bets; the bracket's ATR timeframe is a separate input (default M1). One honest difference remains: the spread. Wider spread = bigger house edge, and the panel shows it live — instruments and hours with tight spreads give you a fairer wheel.
SESSION, BANKROLL AND THE CLOSED TABLE
Each session starts with a bankroll of chips (default 20 bet units). Every result moves the chips; if they hit zero the table closes and refuses bets until you press RESET SESSION. This is a deliberate stop-loss ritual: when the chips are gone, the night is over.
TROUBLESHOOTING
"Waiting for ATR data": the indicator needs a few bars after attach — wait a moment.
"No swing high/low found nearby": price is at an extreme; increase the swing lookback, lower the swing strength, or simply wait for structure to form.
"Order rejected": market closed, symbol trading disabled, or broker stop level too tight — the status line shows the broker's reason.
Effective lot looks different from your bet: see section 6.
No sounds in the strategy tester: normal, the tester is silent.
Buttons do not work in the tester: also normal — chart events exist only on live charts. In the tester the croupier plays automatically so you can still watch the table run.
INPUT REFERENCE
=== Table Rules ===
Bracket distance (x ATR) [1.0]: Sets how far both rails (SL and TP) sit from entry, in multiples of ATR. Bigger = slower spins and a smaller house edge; smaller = faster spins but the spread bites harder.
ATR timeframe [M1]: The timeframe used to measure ATR for the bracket. Raise it (M5/M15) for calmer, wider brackets independent of the chart you play on.
ATR period [14]: Number of bars in the ATR average. Higher values react slower to volatility spikes.
Bet per spin [10.00]: Your stake per spin in account currency. The EA converts it to a lot so that hitting the stop loses roughly this amount.
Minimum bet [5.00]: The table minimum in account currency. If "Bet per spin" is set lower, the EA bets this amount instead.
Lucky 37: TP = n x SL [5.0]: Payout multiple of the Lucky 37 side bet. Higher payout means a proportionally lower hit chance (about 1 in n+1).
Croupier: seconds between spins [4]: Pause between automatic croupier rounds. Raise it for a slower table.
Croupier ON at start (auto mode) [false]: Starts the EA in fully automatic mode and restores it after terminal restarts. Ideal for unattended runs that only ever close at full TP or SL.
Session bankroll (in bet units) [20]: Chips you start each session with, measured in base bets. Hitting zero closes the table until you reset — your built-in stop ritual.
=== Call Bets ===
Swing strength (bars each side) [2]: Bars required on both sides of a high/low to confirm it as a swing. Smaller = more, tighter swings near price; larger = fewer, more significant levels.
Swing search depth (bars) [300]: How far back the EA scans for valid swings. Increase it on quiet charts if you see "no swing found".
Break buffer (x ATR) [0.10]: Extra ATR distance added beyond the swing before a break counts. Filters out stop-hunt wicks that barely poke the level.
Armed bet timeout (sec) [900]: How long an armed call bet waits for a break before your chips are returned. Set 0 to wait forever.
=== Betting Systems ===
Betting system at start [Flat]: Which of the seven systems is active when the EA loads. You can cycle systems any time with the SYSTEM button.
Max bet cap (x base bet) [32]: Hard ceiling on any system's bet, in multiples of the base bet. The safety rail that stops Martingale-style doubling from running away.
Labouchere starting line [1,2,3,4]: The starting number line for Labouchere, comma-separated in bet units. Clearing the whole line banks its sum as your session goal.
=== System ===
Magic number [373737]: Identifies this table's trades. Use a different value for each instance if you run two tables on the same symbol.
Sound effects [true]: Win/lose/spin sounds on or off.
Apply casino chart theme [true]: Paints the chart in the dark casino palette and hides the grid. Turn off to keep your own chart template.
Panel X / Panel Y [12 / 12]: Pixel position of the table panel's top-left corner on the chart.
