Portfolio Builder EA MT4

Portfolio Builder EA MT4 runs a portfolio of channel-based strategies on a single EURUSD H1 chart. Instead of betting on one entry idea, it combines two complementary core systems - and lets you switch on up to three satellite systems - each fully isolated by its own magic number and sized automatically as a percent of balance.

CORE STRATEGY 1 - SWING BREAKOUT
Detects significant swing highs and lows and places pending stop orders at those levels. Positions are protected by a fixed stop loss and managed by a wide trailing stop that locks in trends. Pending orders expire automatically if the market moves away.

CORE STRATEGY 2 - DONCHIAN SCALPER
Tracks the highest-high / lowest-low channel and places a stop order at the channel edge facing away from price. A tight trailing stop converts channel breakouts into a stream of small, high-probability wins.

SATELLITES (off by default)
A Stochastic mean-reversion scalper, an MA slope-flip system with a Bollinger volatility filter, and a Parabolic SAR flip system. Included for transparency and experimentation; the validated configuration keeps them disabled.

AUTOMATIC MONEY MANAGEMENT
Every strategy sizes positions automatically: you set the risk percent per trade, the EA computes the lot size from the stop distance, the broker contract specification and your balance - so position size grows and shrinks with the account. The sizing engine also respects the broker volume limits, free margin and trading sessions automatically.

TESTING METHODOLOGY (please read)
This MetaTrader 4 version was validated end-to-end on Dukascopy real tick data (99.90% modeling quality, variable real spread, every-tick model): 2023 - June 2026 on a 1,000 USD deposit produced +393% net profit, profit factor 1.28, 747 trades and a maximum of 5 consecutive losses. The screenshots are taken directly from the MT4 strategy tester.

The strategy parameters were developed on real-tick data with 2024-2025 used for optimization (last 25% reserved as a forward window) and 2023 kept as a pre-sample validation year. Backtest results are historical and do not guarantee future performance.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Symbol / timeframe: attach to a EURUSD H1 chart (the signal timeframe follows the chart by default; it can be fixed in the Advanced inputs)
• Account: raw-spread / low-commission broker recommended
• Minimum deposit: 100 USD (auto-lots scale down to the broker minimum)
• Leverage: 1:100 or higher recommended for the default risk settings
• Run 24/5 on a VPS
• The default settings are the validated configuration - attach and go; a conservative half-risk set file is available on request

INPUTS - ORGANIZED FOR CLARITY

1. Money management (risk % per strategy) - at the top
2. Strategy on/off switches
3. Per-strategy entry/exit settings, each input explained in plain language
4. Advanced (magic numbers, signal timeframe, lot cap) - rarely need changing

A MetaTrader 5 version of this EA is also available in the Market under the name Portfolio Builder EA.
