🧩 Lot Size Configuration
🔹 Lot Size Mode: auto_increase
- The EA uses dynamic position sizing, automatically increasing lot size as the account grows.
- This approach is commonly used in prop firm challenges to scale profits while maintaining proportional risk.
🔹 Fixed Lot Size: 0.5
- This value is ignored because the lot size mode is set to
auto_increase. - Relevant only if switching to
fixedmode.
🔹 Start Contracts per 10k: 2.0
- For every $10,000 in balance, the EA starts with 2.0 contracts.
- This indicates a moderate-to-aggressive starting exposure, suitable for short-term challenges.
🔹 Step Contracts per 10k: 1.0
- Each profit milestone adds 1 contract per $10,000.
- This provides gradual scaling, reducing the risk of sudden overexposure.
🔹 Increase Every X% Profit: 0.5
- The EA increases lot size after every 0.5% account profit.
- This is a high-frequency scaling mechanism, ideal for HFT strategies.
🔹 End Contracts per 10k: 4.0
- Maximum cap of 4 contracts per $10,000.
- This acts as a risk ceiling, preventing runaway position sizing.
🔹 Contract Multiplier for XAUUSD+: 10.0
- Gold (XAUUSD) positions are multiplied by 10.
- This compensates for larger contract values and ensures consistent risk calculation across instruments.
🧩 Daily Loss Limit Settings
🔹 Daily Loss Limit Mode: percent
- Loss control is based on percentage, aligning with most prop firm rules.
🔹 Daily Loss Limit %: 1.5%
- The EA stops trading after a 1.5% daily drawdown.
- This is conservative and challenge-safe, well below typical 5% limits.
🔹 Daily Loss Limit in USD: 350.0
- Ignored since the mode is set to
percent.
Risk Assessment:
✅ Strong capital protection
✅ Low probability of daily rule violation
🧩 Profit Target Configuration
🔹 Profit Target Mode: percent
- Target is calculated automatically based on account balance.
🔹 Challenge Size in $: 0.0
- Auto-detection enabled.
- The EA identifies account size directly from the broker, reducing setup errors.
🔹 Profit Target %: 10.05%
- Matches standard prop firm challenge requirements (usually 10%).
- Slightly above 10% adds a buffer against floating-point inaccuracies.
🔹 Profit Target in USD: 10050.0
- Ignored because percent mode is active.
🧩 Trading Time Settings
🔹 Trading Start Hour Mode: auto_detect
- The EA automatically selects optimal trading hours.
- Best for users unfamiliar with server time differences.
🔹 Trading Start Time: 16:30 (MT5 Server Time)
🔹 Trading End Time: 16:45 (MT5 Server Time)
- A 15-minute trading window, indicating:
- High-impact news scalping
- Liquidity spikes
- HFT execution logic
🔹 Trading on US Holidays: false
- Trading is disabled on US holidays.
- This avoids low-liquidity traps and erratic spreads.
🧩 General EA Settings
