🔢 Conclusion
Luna AI Pro MT5 provides an extensive configuration framework that goes beyond basic lot sizing and entry management. Its settings include automatic and performance-based position sizing, pair ranking, historical performance evaluation, rollover filtering, GMT adjustment, trading-session controls, spread protection, pending-order management, swap filtering, and economic-news protection.
The displayed configuration uses 0.01 StartLots, a 0.5 Risk_Per_Trade value, a 90-day performance evaluation period, a 50.0% maximum lot-size reduction, and a 99-trade maximum. It also uses 23:00–01:00 trading hours, applies rollover filtering from 23:55–00:10, and enables High-Risk news filtering.
Before deploying these settings on a live MT5 account, traders should carefully test how the EA's performance-based lot sizing, 0.5 risk setting, 99-trade limit, spread thresholds, and news-filter timing interact with their broker's execution conditions. Backtesting and forward testing on a demo account can help verify that the configuration behaves as expected before live deployment.
