Engulfing Basket Core
Engulfing Basket Core is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor based on closed-candle engulfing signals and internal basket management with a maximum of five weighted entries per direction.
The officially tested and recommended setup is EURUSD M15 on a Hedging account. The EA can technically be used on other Forex pairs, but those configurations are not part of the official benchmark and may produce materially different results.
Main Features
- Engulfing signals calculated on closed candles.
- Recommended operating timeframe: M15.
- Officially tested setup: EURUSD M15.
- Required account type: Hedging.
- Maximum five entries per direction.
- Independent LONG and SHORT basket management.
- No traditional fixed Stop Loss or Take Profit.
- Internal basket profit and recovery closing logic.
- Margin, spread and broker volume specification checks.
- Minimum volume, maximum volume and volume-step validation.
- Protection against duplicate loading with the same account, symbol and Magic Number.
- Basket management recovery after terminal restart.
- No external indicators, DLLs or external files required.
Strategy Profile
The strategy uses a weighted sequence of up to five entries. On the 10,000 USD reference operating capital, the Standard x1 profile uses the following theoretical volumes:
- 1st entry: 0.01 lots
- 2nd entry: 0.22 lots
- 3rd entry: 0.87 lots
- 4th entry: 0.90 lots
- 5th entry: 0.78 lots
The maximum theoretical exposure per direction is 2.78 lots on the reference operating capital.
Entry distances are normalized in pips to preserve consistent logic across common 4-digit, 5-digit and JPY-style Forex symbols.
Capital Sizing
The default mode is Fixed Operating Capital. The recommended value for the official benchmark is 10,000 USD.
If the available equity at startup is lower than the selected operating capital, the EA limits position sizing to the equity actually available. Trading remains subject to broker volume rules and margin protection checks.
On smaller accounts, the broker minimum lot may prevent perfectly proportional risk scaling. For this reason, no safe or guaranteed minimum deposit is claimed.
Equity at Startup Compounding is available as an advanced option. It uses the equity available when the EA starts and recalculates volumes only after the next EA restart.

Risk Warning
Engulfing Basket Core uses weighted basket management and does not place a traditional fixed Stop Loss. Floating drawdown can become significant during prolonged directional movements, market gaps, abnormal spreads or low-liquidity conditions.
The Growth x1.5 profile increases both potential return and risk compared with the Standard x1 profile.
Before live use, always test the EA using your own broker specifications, including leverage, spread, commissions, swaps, minimum volume and execution conditions.
FAQ
Can the EA be used on pairs other than EURUSD?
Technically yes. However, EURUSD M15 is the only officially tested and recommended setup. Other pairs require independent testing.
Is a Hedging account required?
Yes. The EA manages independent LONG and SHORT baskets and therefore requires a Hedging account.
What is the minimum deposit?
No guaranteed minimum deposit is claimed. The official benchmark uses 10,000 USD. The EA can initialize with lower equity when broker and margin requirements allow it.
Is it compatible with cent accounts?
Cent-account compatibility has not been officially validated and is not guaranteed.
Does it use a volume progression?
Yes. It uses a weighted sequence of up to five entries per basket. This risk model should be fully understood before use.
Does it use a traditional Stop Loss?
No. Positions are managed through internal basket-profit and recovery logic.
Are the results guaranteed?
No. The published results are historical backtests and do not guarantee future performance.
