I've downloaded and backtested the VeritasX Expert Advisor (EA), and it looks very promising. However, I've detected a serious character encoding problem in the EA's input parameters.
The variable names appear corrupted (e.g., ÇÃʪÿfbfg, ꛃƒbƒy•ipipsj, etc.), making them unintelligible and unusable in MetaTrader.
This isn't a language issue, but rather an encoding error (likely UTF-8 with BOM vs. ANSI/Windows-1252) in the source code strings. MetaTrader is very sensitive to this, and when the encoding doesn't match, it displays exactly these kinds of garbled characters.
Impact:
Inability to correctly identify the parameters.
High risk of incorrect EA configuration.
Poor user experience and potential operational errors in live trading.
Specific technical requirement:
Review the source file (.mq4) and explicitly save it in ANSI or UTF-8 encoding without BOM.
Avoid accents, ñ, and special characters in input names. Use only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and underscores (_).
Recompile the Expert Advisor (EA) and verify that the inputs are displayed correctly in MetaTrader.
This must be corrected in the source code; it is not a user terminal issue.
I look forward to receiving the corrected version.
Here is the set file.
Kindly consider the risk ％.

Very interesting thanks.
It would help if the language in the EA was English - I can't see what anything is... or how to adjust anything including the risk.
I would like it to have a fixed lot size of 0.01....

Thank you for your comment:)
I'll work on it. Please wait a moment.
