Four Edge EA Discounted

An independently developed reproduction of the Four Edge trading system, built around four systematic trading strategies and a centralized multi-symbol execution engine.

Four Edge with REA recreates the publicly documented trading concepts and observed behavior of the original Four Edge Expert Advisor through an independent MQL5 implementation.

The objective is to reproduce the original trading decisions as closely as possible while providing a modular architecture, centralized portfolio management and transparent comparative testing.

The software has been evaluated against the Four Edge reference using historical real-tick backtests, including trade-by-trade comparisons of entries, exits, execution prices, position sizing and portfolio performance.

A detailed technical validation report will provide quantitative evidence of the agreement between the two implementations.

Important: Four Edge with REA is an independent reproduction. It is not the original Four Edge product, does not contain its proprietary source code, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original developer.

NOT A HOLY GRAIL — PLEASE READ FIRST

Four Edge with REA is not a guaranteed-profit trading system.

There is no promise of consistent monthly returns, no 100% win rate and no assurance that historical results will continue in the future.

Losing trades, losing weeks and extended drawdowns are part of systematic trading.

The purpose of this Expert Advisor is to combine four logical trading approaches into one portfolio application with configurable risk management and transparent execution rules.

Backtest agreement with a reference system does not demonstrate future profitability.

WHAT IS FOUR EDGE WITH REA?

Four Edge with REA is a multi-symbol, multi-strategy Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5.

Attach the EA to one chart and manage multiple strategy instances across different financial instruments.

Each instance has independent settings, magic numbers, position sizing and trading rules.

One Expert Advisor. One chart. Four strategy concepts. Multiple trading instruments.

The application includes a centralized dashboard for managing and monitoring the portfolio without navigating extensive EA input lists.

• Minimum and maximum range filters

• Automatic pending-order cancellation

• Scheduled position closing

• Optional break-even and trailing stop

• Weekday trading restrictions

3. TURNAROUND TUESDAY — Weekly Reversal Trading

A trading strategy designed around potential market recovery following weakness at the beginning of the week.

Key features:

• Configurable weekly entry and exit days

• Optional moving-average filter

• Optional price breakout confirmation

• One entry per week per strategy instance

• Independent position and risk management

4. ATR BREAKOUT — Volatility Expansion Trading

Identifies unusually strong price movements by comparing candle range with Average True Range.

Key features:

• Configurable ATR period and multiplier

• Candle-close proximity requirements

• Multiple timeframe support

• Optional trend filter

• Stop-loss and take-profit calculations

THE CONTROL PANEL

Four Edge with REA includes a centralized on-chart portfolio dashboard.

Portfolio management

• Add, modify and remove strategy instances

• Monitor active positions

• View floating and realized profit

• Track total portfolio P&L

• Monitor historical profit peaks and drawdown

Strategy management

• Independent strategy configuration

• Individual strategy performance statistics

• Strategy-specific positions and risk settings

• Access to dedicated symbol charts

• Configuration persistence through text files

The portfolio can operate across multiple symbols while being attached to a single chart.

ONLY THREE EA INPUTS

The main Expert Advisor exposes exactly three properties:

1. Panel Width (px)

2. Panel Height (px)

3. Panel Font Size

Trading parameters are managed through the dashboard or external configuration files.

This avoids lengthy EA input menus and allows the trading configuration to remain independent from the EA's display settings.

MULTI-SYMBOL EXECUTION ENGINE

Four Edge with REA uses a centralized symbol-aware execution dispatcher.

The engine monitors configured instruments individually rather than depending exclusively on tick events from the chart hosting the EA.

Features include:

• Per-symbol quote tracking

• Quote freshness validation

• Millisecond-level polling

• Individual strategy scheduling

• Duplicate-entry safeguards

• Independent position management

• Support for instruments with different market hours

These mechanisms are designed to improve multi-symbol execution consistency, although differences in real-time execution and Strategy Tester behavior remain possible.

SAFETY AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Four Edge with REA includes configurable risk and position-management functionality.

Depending on the selected strategy, supported features include:

• Fixed lot sizes

• Capital-based position sizing

• Percentage-based risk sizing

• Fixed monetary risk

• Stop-loss and take-profit

• Break-even protection

• Trailing stops

• Scheduled position closing

• Broker trading-constraint checks

• Quote freshness checks

• Duplicate-order prevention

No martingale or grid trading is used by the four included strategy concepts.

No external DLLs or third-party order-execution services are required.

CONFIGURATION FILES

Strategy instances are stored as text configuration files.

Each file contains the configuration of one strategy instance, including its symbol, magic number, trading parameters and risk settings.

The configuration folder is:

Terminal\Common\Files\ModularEdgeConfigs\

This folder name is retained for compatibility with existing configurations developed during testing.

Configuration files can be prepared manually or through the EA's dashboard on live and demo charts.

In non-visual Strategy Tester runs, configuration files must be available before the test begins.

FOUR EDGE REPRODUCTION — TRADE AGREEMENT

Four Edge with REA was developed with the specific objective of reproducing the publicly documented trading rules and observed behavior of the original Four Edge Expert Advisor.

Development and validation included:

• Independent implementation of the four strategy concepts

• Repeated real-tick Strategy Tester comparisons

• Verification of trading-signal agreement

• Comparison of entry and exit timestamps

• Comparison of execution prices

• Verification of position volumes

• Analysis of profit and drawdown differences

• Investigation of multi-symbol synchronization and stale-quote behavior

A dedicated comparison report will document the measured degree of agreement between the original reference and Four Edge with REA.

Any remaining discrepancies and testing limitations will be disclosed.

Functional agreement in backtests does not imply access to the original proprietary implementation or guarantee identical live execution.

REQUIREMENTS

• MetaTrader 5

• One chart for the portfolio EA

• Compatible broker symbols and contract specifications

• Hedging account recommended when multiple independent strategies trade the same instrument

• Algorithmic trading enabled

• VPS recommended for continuous operation

• Strategy times configured according to broker server time

QUICK START

1. Install Four Edge with REA in MetaTrader 5.

2. Attach it to one chart.

3. Enable algorithmic trading after confirming your risk settings.

4. Add strategy instances through the dashboard or load prepared configuration files.

5. Configure trading symbols, schedules and position sizing.

6. Test on a demo account before using real money.

DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPARENCY

Four Edge with REA was independently implemented in MQL5 using AI-assisted software development, iterative testing and comparative analysis.

The implementation is based on publicly described trading concepts and observed behavior from reference backtests.

The original Four Edge software remains a separate commercial product belonging to its respective developer.

This project does not claim ownership of the original program, its proprietary source code or its commercial track record.

RISK DISCLOSURE

Trading leveraged financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss, including the potential loss of the entire invested capital.

Historical results and backtests are not reliable indicators of future performance.

Execution differences, slippage, liquidity, spread changes and broker-specific conditions may significantly affect live trading results.

Nothing in this description constitutes investment advice or a recommendation to buy or trade financial instruments.
