How to Run the EA on a Chart

The EA is designed to run on any symbol and any timeframe. It automatically detects the appropriate parameters for the chart it’s attached to, so there’s no need for manual configuration.

For General details, refer to the blog post:

Backtest

For the most reliable results, I recommend backtesting on MT5.

MT4 backtests are not reliable because:

    •     MT4 is old and outdated.
    •     It lacks the “Every Tick Based on Real Ticks” option.
    •     It can only run backtests for one symbol at a time, requiring you to test each symbol in the input list separately.
    •     For better accuracy and a modern approach, switch to MT5 for your testing.

Changing Symbols of Trade

To change the trading symbols:

  •     Modify the list of symbols in the Inputs section of the EA.
  •     There’s no need to include any suffixes or prefixes, as the EA automatically detects them.
  •     For example, if your broker’s symbol is EURUSD.m, simply enter EURUSD.

Running the EA Alongside Other EAs

The EA can run alongside other EAs without issues as long as you assign a unique Magic Number for each EA. This ensures their trades are tracked separately and avoid interference.

What is the Best Setfile?

The default settings are optimized and are the best starting point.

However:

  •     You can optimize the EA or create a setfile tailored to your broker’s conditions.
  •     Any additional setfiles will be shared in our Telegram or MQL5 channels.

What Risk and Deposit Should I Use?

While the EA can run on any deposit size, I recommend keeping the risk per trade between 1% and 2% for optimal safety and growth. Adjust this based on your trading goals and risk tolerance.

Inputs Details

Here are detailed descriptions of the inputs:

    Symbols for Trading: Define the list of symbols for the EA to trade, e.g., GBPCAD, AUDUSD.

How to enable news filter in MT4/MT5
