NeuroPrice Navigator 2.0 — intelligent trading advisor based on the TCNN-LSTM neural network model with an attention mechanism
Brief description
NeuroPrice Navigator 2.0 is a fully automated trading advisor for MetaTrader 4 that uses a hybrid TCNN-LSTM neural network architecture with a Feature Attention mechanism to predict the direction of price movement and make trading decisions. The advisor trains itself on historical data, adapts to changing market conditions, and is equipped with a built-in risk management system.
Principle of operation
The advisor is based on its own neural network model, which combines three key components:
-
Temporal Convolutional Neural Networks (TCNN) — analyze a sequence of 64 previous bars, identifying local patterns and impulsive market movements. Two convolutional layers with 24 and 12 filters allow the model to recognize short-term and medium-term structures in price data.
-
Feature Attention mechanism — evaluates the importance of each feature at each moment in time, automatically focusing on the most significant signals. This allows the model to ignore market noise and highlight truly important patterns.
-
Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) — processes the time sequence after the convolutional layers and the attention mechanism, remembering long-term dependencies and market context. A recurrent layer of 12 LSTM blocks allows the model to take history into account when forming a forecast.
The model outputs the probability of price growth (P(up)) in the range from 0 to 1. Based on this value, a trading signal is formed:
-
P(up) ≥ 0.65 — strong BUY signal;
-
P(up) ≤ 0.35 — strong SELL signal;
-
0.35 < P(up) < 0.65 — uncertainty zone, no trade is opened.
The advisor automatically retrains every 12 bars on a rolling history window (600 bars by default), using backpropagation through time (BPTT) with an adaptive learning rate and L2 regularization. The training process includes cross-validation with chronological fold splitting, which prevents overfitting and ensures the model’s robustness to market changes.
Advantages
-
Self-learning and adaptability. The advisor does not require manual optimization for a specific currency pair — it trains directly on the chart data where it is installed and automatically rebuilds the model weights when the market regime changes.
-
Hybrid architecture. The combination of convolutional layers, an attention mechanism, and LSTM allows it to simultaneously capture short-term impulses, medium-term trends, and long-term context, which produces more accurate forecasts compared to single-type models.
-
Multi-level deposit protection. Built-in risk management mechanisms include adaptive lot calculation based on free margin, drawdown protection (volume reduction when a specified level is reached), a limit on the maximum number of concurrent positions, spread control, and a volatility filter.
-
Flexible position management. Real and virtual stop losses and take profits are supported, along with a trailing stop with activation and step settings, as well as dynamic distance between orders based on ATR.
-
Information panel. The chart displays a detailed panel with the current signal, model confidence, account status, drawdown, and training progress. The panel also contains manual control buttons (BUY / SELL / CLOSE).
-
State saving. All model parameters, optimizer parameters, and the feature cache are saved to a single file, which allows training to continue after restarting the terminal without losing accumulated knowledge.

Usage recommendations
The advisor is intended for trading currency pairs with moderate volatility (for example, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY). Before launching on a live account, it is recommended to test the advisor in the MetaTrader 4 Strategy Tester with a fixed initial deposit (for example, $10,000) and 1:100 leverage. The default parameters are optimized for the M15 timeframe and can be used without additional configuration.
