Tessera

Tessera

Short introduction

Tessera is an automated MetaTrader 5 trading system developed from detailed instrument-level research. It brings signal evaluation, risk-based position sizing and ongoing trade management together in one disciplined workflow, reducing the need to make every decision manually.

How Tessera works for you

Tessera evaluates market conditions using a proprietary approach informed by detailed instrument-specific research. When a qualifying opportunity is present, its execution and management components apply the configured risk settings and protective trade rules. Its chart display makes the system's status and recent activity easier to follow without revealing the underlying strategy.

The system is designed for traders who prefer defined rules and transparent controls rather than discretionary decisions at every price movement.

Key features

• Proprietary entry evaluation developed through instrument-specific research and historical testing.
• Account-risk-based position sizing with configurable risk percentage.
• Automated trade placement and protective position management, subject to broker rules and available margin.
• Break-even/protective management that retains required state across terminal restarts .
• Chart status panel and readable trade-history annotations.
• Instrument/timeframe guidance to help users configure the product correctly.

Intended setup

The strategy's researched configurations use M5 on these instrument families: XAUUSD, US30.cash, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, US500.cash and XAUEUR. Broker instrument names can vary; confirm the exact available symbol/profile mapping before live use. The selected account model and broker execution settings must match the product's documented supported configuration.

Use a demo account and the MetaTrader Strategy Tester to evaluate the product under your broker's conditions before enabling live trading. Start with conservative account-risk settings and allow sufficient funds for margin and normal price variation.

Before using

Tessera is a trading system, not a guarantee of returns. Historical performance does not predict future results. Spread, volatility, trading costs, broker execution constraints, account mode and market conditions can materially affect outcomes. Losses, including losses of trading capital, are possible. The Expert Advisor is not an account-level portfolio risk manager.

For setup questions and product support, use the MQL5 product comments or MQL5 messaging.

Risk and account considerations

The customer risk setting defaults to 0.10% of account equity per trade and is capped at 1.00% in this release. Actual losses can exceed planned stop risk because of gaps, execution conditions and costs. The primarily deployed account model is Retail Hedging; check broker compatibility on demo before enabling live orders.

Historical MT5 Strategy Tester examples

Tessera was tested separately on seven instruments using M5 charts, with example trade-risk settings of 0.15% and 0.50%. Test period: September 1, 2025 through September 25, 2026 at 00:00 server time (exclusive). Each simulation started with USD 100,000 on FTMO-Demo, using MT5 Strategy Tester Model 4; effective tester leverage was 1:100. The figures below are historical net returns and maximum relative equity drawdowns, not live account results.

XAUUSD: 0.15% risk: +18.71% return, 2.20% max equity drawdown; 0.50% risk: +80.99% return, 7.03% max equity drawdown.

US30.cash: 0.15%: +13.03%, 2.49% drawdown; 0.50%: +49.08%, 8.16% drawdown.

US500.cash: 0.15%: +8.62%, 1.75% drawdown; 0.50%: +31.29%, 5.74% drawdown.

XAUEUR: 0.15%: +3.52%, 1.70% drawdown; 0.50%: +12.29%, 5.93% drawdown.

EURUSD: 0.15%: +3.21%, 0.80% drawdown; 0.50%: +11.01%, 2.64% drawdown.

GBPUSD: 0.15%: +1.30%, 1.01% drawdown; 0.50%: +4.30%, 3.34% drawdown.

USDJPY: 0.15%: +2.83%, 0.84% drawdown; 0.50%: +8.83%, 2.98% drawdown.

The figures are separate, single-instrument historical simulations, not annualized returns and not the performance of one combined account. They are sensitive to quote history, broker specifications, spreads, commissions, execution and risk settings. Historical XAUUSD testing included reconstructed tick intervals despite the tester's 100% real-ticks headline. Past results cannot guarantee future outcomes. Use the Strategy Tester and a demo account to assess your own broker conditions before trading.
