Jones Locker – Multi-Engine Dow Jones / US30 Trading EA for MT5
Jones Locker is an automated MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor developed specifically for trading the Dow Jones / US30 market.
Rather than relying on a single entry pattern, Jones Locker combines four independent price-action engines built around the behaviour of the US cash session. Each engine targets a different type of market movement, while trade execution, position sizing, trailing-stop management, spread protection, economic-news protection and trading-session control are handled through a common framework.
The supplied default trading timeframe is M15, while the timeframe remains fully selectable by the user.
Entry Engines
Opening Momentum
Looks for a meaningful directional move from the New York cash open followed by confirmation that price is continuing in the same direction.
Overnight Reversal
Measures the displacement between the previous US cash-session close and the new session open, then looks for a confirmed retracement of that overnight move.
Opening Extension Failure
Looks for price to extend beyond the initial opening structure and then reclaim back inside it, indicating that the early extension may have failed.
Closing Shock Reversal
Measures strong directional movement into the previous US session close and looks for an opposite move after the following cash session opens.
Each engine can be enabled or disabled independently, and its main entry parameters remain available to the user for further research and configuration.
Position Sizing and Trade Management
Jones Locker supports two position-sizing modes:
Fixed Lot uses the lot size selected by the user.
Risk Money per Trade calculates the required volume from the selected monetary risk and the actual stop-loss distance. Minimum and maximum lot limits can be applied when using Risk Money mode.
Positions are managed using a configurable price-structure trailing stop. Users can adjust swing strength, lookback, trailing buffer and the minimum improvement required before the stop is moved.
Trade direction can also be selected as Buy Only, Sell Only or Both.
Trading Hours and End-of-Session Closing
Jones Locker includes configurable trading hours with support for:
- Broker Server Time
- UTC
- London Time with automatic DST handling
- New York Time with automatic DST handling
- Separate Friday end time
- A configurable period during which new entries are stopped before the session ends
- Individual Monday-to-Friday trading controls
Any Jones Locker position still open when the configured trading window ends is automatically closed.
If the broker is temporarily unable to accept the close request, the EA keeps the position open and attempts the close again while the position remains outside the permitted trading window.
The US cash-session reference used by the entry engines is handled separately from the user's selected strategy timeframe, allowing the strategy to maintain its session references across different trading timeframes.
Spread Protection
The built-in spread protection can prevent new entries when the current broker spread exceeds the selected maximum.
The interactive dashboard also includes an expandable 45-minute spread history graph, allowing the trader to compare recent spread behaviour with the configured limit.
Economic News Protection
Jones Locker includes an integrated multi-source economic-news system.
The native MetaTrader 5 Economic Calendar is the default news source and requires no WebRequest configuration.
An optional external FairEconomy economic-calendar source is also available. The news system also supports an External + MT5 Calendar fallback mode, allowing the MT5 Calendar to act as an alternative source when the external feed cannot be used.
When using the external news source, MetaTrader must allow WebRequest access to:
This is configured in MetaTrader under:
Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → Allow WebRequest for listed URL
News protection can be configured using:
- Minutes before an event
- Minutes after an event
- News currency
- High-impact filtering
- Medium-impact filtering
- Low-impact filtering
- Holiday trading
- External news-source time adjustment
The dashboard can display upcoming economic events together with their currency, impact, event time and countdown.
Interactive Trading Dashboard
Jones Locker includes a custom nautical-themed trading dashboard showing the most useful information without taking over the chart.
The panel displays:
- Current trading status
- Current time and configured trading session
- Open positions
- Monthly trade count
- Realized performance
- Floating performance
- Weekly activity
- Magic Number
- Current news status
Expandable sections provide the economic-news calendar, 45-minute spread diagnostic graph, and monthly realized-performance graph.
The news filter, news source and diagnostic panels can also be controlled directly from the dashboard.
User Configuration
Jones Locker keeps the important strategy and trading controls available to the user, including:
Trading timeframe, trade direction, custom trade comment, Magic Number, position-sizing mode, monetary risk, lot limits, trailing-stop behaviour, spread protection, economic-news protection, trading hours, weekdays, individual entry engines, dashboard position and chart appearance.
Custom trade comments are retained on positions together with a short engine identifier, making it easier to identify which Jones Locker engine generated a trade.
Recommended Starting Point
The supplied settings represent the developed Jones Locker configuration, with M15, Both trade directions, Risk Money sizing, spread protection and economic-news protection enabled.
When using a new broker or account, first confirm that the correct US30 / Dow Jones instrument has been selected and perform your own backtesting and forward testing before considering live trading.
Broker contract specifications, historical data, spreads, execution conditions and symbol naming can differ and may affect trading behaviour.
Important Information
Jones Locker trades the symbol on the chart where it is attached. It was developed and optimized around Dow Jones / US30, but it is not restricted to a specific broker symbol name and can be tested or used on other instruments.
Because different markets have different volatility, trading hours, spreads and price behaviour, the supplied settings should be considered the developed US30 configuration. When using Jones Locker on another symbol, backtesting and forward testing are recommended before live trading.
Trading involves financial risk. Backtests and historical results are research tools and are not guarantees of future performance. Live trading conditions can differ materially from Strategy Tester results.
