🔢 Edge Boost Pro EA MT5 Settings Guide – Complete Inputs Explained
Edge Boost Pro EA is an automated trading Expert Advisor designed around Support and Resistance market levels. According to the developer, the EA continuously analyzes important market levels and can trade both breakouts and rebounds, while additional filters help control trading conditions. The settings panel provides detailed controls for trade direction, Risk/Reward, position sizing, drawdown protection, break-even, trailing stop, news filtering, spread filtering, trading sessions, trading days, and EA identification.
The guide below explains every parameter visible in the Edge Boost Pro EA MT5 settings panel, while keeping the original values and numerical details unchanged.
⚙️ TRADING Settings
🔹 Allowed Trading Directions = ALL — Allows the EA to trade in all available directions rather than restricting it to a specific direction.
🔹 Trades Comment = Edge Boost Pro — Sets the comment attached to trades opened by the EA, making them easier to identify in the MT5 terminal.
🔹 Risk Reward Ratio, TP = RRR x SL (0 => TP OFF) = 2.5 — Sets the Take Profit target according to the selected Stop Loss distance. With 2.5, the TP target is calculated at 2.5× the SL distance; 0 would disable TP.
🔹 Partial Take Profit, points (0 => OFF) = 0 — Controls the point distance used for partial Take Profit. A value of 0 disables this feature.
🔹 Close Part, % (0 => OFF) = 0.0 — Determines what percentage of a position should be closed when the partial Take Profit condition is reached. 0.0 disables partial closing.
🔹 Max Daily Loss, % (0 => OFF) = 0.0 — Sets the maximum permitted daily loss as a percentage. 0.0 means the daily-loss limit is disabled.
🔹 Close Trades when Max Daily Loss reached = false — Determines whether open trades should be closed when the configured maximum daily loss is reached. false means this action is disabled.
🔹 Max DrawDown from Highest Balance, % (0 => OFF) = 0.0 — Sets a maximum drawdown threshold measured from the highest balance. 0.0 disables this protection.
🔹 Close Trades when Max DD reached = false — Determines whether existing positions should be closed after the maximum drawdown condition is reached. false disables automatic closing.
🔹 Max Trade Holding Time, minutes (0 => OFF) = 0 — Sets the maximum time a trade can remain open. 0 disables the holding-time limit.
🔹 Close at Opposite signal = false — Determines whether an open trade should be closed when an opposite trading signal appears. false means the EA will not close trades based on this condition.
⚙️ TRADE SIZE Settings
🔹 Use Dynamic Lots = true — Enables dynamic position sizing so the EA can calculate lot size according to the configured risk-per-trade setting.
🔹 Fixed Lot, lots (if Dynamic Lots = false) = 0.01 — Defines the fixed trading volume when Dynamic Lots is disabled. The configured value is 0.01 lots.
🔹 Risk per Trade, % of Balance (if Dynamic Lots = true) = 2.0 — Sets the percentage of account balance used by the dynamic lot calculation. The current setting is 2.0%.
🔹 Use Martingale (increased lot size after a losing trade) = false — Controls the Martingale function. false means increased lot sizing after a losing trade is disabled.
🔹 Start Martingale after X Consecutive losses = 1 — Specifies how many consecutive losing trades would trigger the Martingale mechanism if it were enabled. The configured value is 1.
🔹 Martingale Multiplier = 2.0 — Defines the multiplier applied to the lot size when Martingale is enabled. The configured multiplier is 2.0.
🔹 Min Lot Size = 0.01 — Sets the minimum lot size allowed by the EA's position-sizing logic.
🔹 Max Lot Size = 100.0 — Sets the maximum lot size allowed by the EA's position-sizing logic.
⚙️ BREAK EVEN Settings
🔹 Use Break Even = false — Enables or disables automatic movement of the Stop Loss toward the entry price. false means Break Even is currently disabled.
🔹 BE Level, points = 300 — Defines the price-distance threshold in 300 points at which the Break Even mechanism can become active when enabled.
🔹 BE Profit, points = 10 — Defines the additional profit distance of 10 points used when positioning the Stop Loss beyond the entry price under the Break Even function.
⚙️ TRAILING STOP Settings
🔹 Use Trailing Stop = false — Controls whether the EA automatically follows profitable positions with a trailing Stop Loss. false means Trailing Stop is disabled.
🔹 TSL Start, points = 500 — Sets the profit distance of 500 points required before the trailing-stop mechanism starts, when enabled.
🔹 TSL Distance, points = 300 — Sets the trailing distance to 300 points, determining how far the Stop Loss remains from the relevant market price when trailing is active.
⚙️ NEWS FILTER Settings
🔹 Copy and Paste into allowed URLs for WebRequests = https://nfs.faireconomy.media — Specifies the external URL that should be permitted in MT5 WebRequest settings for the EA's news-data access.
🔹 Use News Filter (live chart only) = true — Enables the news filter during live chart operation. The panel specifically indicates that this function is for live chart only.
🔹 News Data Source = MT5 Calendar — Selects the MT5 Calendar as the economic-news data source.
🔹 Broker UTC/GMT Offset, hours = 2 — Sets the broker's time offset relative to UTC/GMT to 2 hours, allowing news-event timing to be interpreted correctly.
🔹 News Importance (from and higher) = High — Filters economic events according to the selected importance level, starting from High importance and higher.
🔹 Minutes Before = 30 — Defines a 30-minute news protection window before a qualifying economic event.

The official Edge Boost Pro description also lists a news filter among its trade-control features and states that important news can be displayed on the chart.
⚙️ SPREAD FILTER Settings
🔹 Use Spread Filter = true — Enables spread protection so the EA can prevent new trades when the current spread exceeds the configured limit.
🔹 Maximum Spread, points = 100 — Sets the maximum permitted spread at 100 points. When the spread exceeds this threshold, the spread filter can block new entries.
The developer describes the Spread Filter as a mechanism that prevents new trades when the spread exceeds the allowed value.

The official product documentation also describes the Magic Number as a unique EA identifier and recommends using different Magic Numbers when running multiple instances on the same symbol.
🔢 Edge Boost Pro EA MT5 Risk Management Overview
🔹 Dynamic Lot Control = true — The current configuration uses dynamic lot sizing instead of relying on the 0.01 Fixed Lot setting.
🔹 Risk Per Trade = 2.0% — The dynamic sizing configuration is set to use 2.0% of Balance as the risk-per-trade input.

🔹 Daily Loss Protection = 0.0% — The maximum daily loss threshold is disabled because the value is 0.0.
🔹 Maximum Drawdown Protection = 0.0% — The maximum drawdown threshold is also disabled because the value is 0.0.

🔢 Conclusion
The Edge Boost Pro EA MT5 settings provide a broad control framework covering trading direction, Risk/Reward, position sizing, Martingale behavior, Break Even, Trailing Stop, economic news, spread conditions, trading sessions, trading days, and EA identification.
With the current configuration, Dynamic Lots = true, Risk per Trade = 2.0%, Martingale = false, Break Even = false, Trailing Stop = false, News Filter = true, and Spread Filter = true. The Risk/Reward setting is 2.5, while both daily-loss and maximum-drawdown percentage protections are set to 0.0, meaning those specific limits are disabled.
Traders should remember that changing EA inputs can materially change its trade frequency, position sizing, and risk characteristics. The developer specifically notes that changing the Risk/Reward configuration can also affect which setups qualify for trading.
