🔢 Xauron EA MT5 Settings Explained
🔶 Trades Settings
🔹 Lots mode: Fixed lot size — Sets the position-sizing method to Fixed lot size, meaning trades use a predefined lot value rather than dynamically calculating volume from account risk.
🔹 Lots/Risk: 0.01 — Sets the trading volume to 0.01 lots under the selected Fixed lot size mode.
🔹 Balance step (for Balance Step mode): 200.0 — Sets the balance increment to 200.0 for the Balance Step sizing mode. This parameter is not the active sizing method because Fixed lot size is selected.
🔹 Timeframe: 5 Minutes — Sets the EA's operating timeframe to 5 Minutes (M5).
🔹 Magic number: 100001 — Uses 100001 as the unique Magic Number for identifying and managing trades opened by Xauron EA MT5.
🔹 Trades comment: XAURON — Sets the trade comment to XAURON, making positions generated by the EA easier to identify.
🔹 Take Profit points: 2000 — Sets the Take Profit distance to 2,000 points.
🔹 Stop Loss points: 1000 — Sets the Stop Loss distance to 1,000 points.
🔶 Trailing Stop Settings
🔹 Trailing stop enabled: true — Activates the trailing-stop system.
🔹 1) Trailing trigger points (profit to activate): 100 — The trailing stop becomes active after the trade reaches 100 points of profit.
🔹 2) Trailing distance points (SL from price): 70 — Maintains the Stop Loss approximately 70 points away from the current market price once trailing is active.
🔹 3) Price step points (price move to update): 50 — Requires a 50-point favorable price movement before the trailing Stop Loss is updated again.
🔹 4) Trailing move points (SL move per update): 50 — Moves the Stop Loss by 50 points for each qualifying trailing update.
🔶 Break-Even Settings
🔹 Breakeven enabled: false — Disables the break-even function in the displayed configuration.
🔹 Breakeven trigger points: 50 — Sets the break-even activation threshold to 50 points if the break-even function is enabled.
🔹 Breakeven additional points on SL: 10 — Adds 10 points beyond the entry price when the Stop Loss is moved to break-even, if the feature is activated.
🔶 Chart Display Settings
🔹 Chart color when EA is idle: Pink — Sets the chart color to Pink when the EA is in its idle state.
🔹 Chart color when EA is active: Black — Sets the chart color to Black when the EA is actively trading.
🔶 Strategy Settings
🔹 Lookback period: 150 — Uses a 150-bar lookback period for the EA's broader market and breakout analysis.
🔹 Highest/Lowest lookback period: 30 — Uses 30 bars to determine the relevant recent highest and lowest price levels for breakout calculations.
🔹 Price mode: High/Low — Uses the candle High/Low prices as the selected price reference for the strategy.
🔹 Buy stops enabled: true — Enables Buy Stop pending orders for upside breakout opportunities.
🔹 Sell stops enabled: true — Enables Sell Stop pending orders for downside breakout opportunities.
🔹 Minimum candle size (0 = disabled): 10 — Requires a minimum candle size of 10 points. A value of 0 would disable this filter, but the current configuration uses 10.
🔹 Maximum spread points (0 = disabled): 0 — Sets the maximum spread filter to 0 points. According to the parameter description, 0 = disabled, so no maximum spread restriction is configured through this setting.
🔹 Min. breakout size points (0 = disabled): 0 — Sets the minimum breakout-size requirement to 0 points. Because 0 = disabled, this minimum breakout filter is not active.
🔹 Max. breakout size points (0 = disabled): 10 — Sets the maximum breakout size to 10 points. This limits qualifying breakout movement according to the EA's internal breakout logic.
🔶 Volume & Confirmation Filters
🔹 Check for volume increase: false — Disables the volume-increase confirmation filter.
🔹 Minimum volume ratio: 1.5 — Sets the minimum required volume ratio to 1.5 if volume confirmation is enabled.
🔹 Check confirmation candle: false — Disables the confirmation-candle filter.
🔹 Min. confirmation candle size points: 0 — Sets the minimum confirmation-candle size to 0 points. Since confirmation-candle checking is disabled, this value is currently inactive.
🔶 Pending Order Management
🔹 Expiration minutes: 720 — Sets pending-order expiration to 720 minutes, equivalent to 12 hours, unless the EA removes the order earlier according to its strategy rules.
🔹 Remove pendings when HL changes: false — Disables automatic removal of pending orders when the calculated High/Low levels change.
🔶 ATR Filter
🔹 ATR filter: Low > High — Configures the ATR filter mode as Low > High, using the relationship between the lower and higher ATR calculations as the selected volatility condition.
🔹 ATR filter base period: 20 — Sets the base ATR calculation period to 20.
🔹 ATR filter higher period multiplier: 5.0 — Multiplies the base ATR period by 5.0 for the higher-period comparison, resulting in a longer volatility reference based on the EA's internal calculation.

🔢 Conclusion
Xauron EA MT5 provides a structured breakout-trading framework with extensive controls for entries, position management, volatility filtering, pending orders, trading schedules, and economic-news protection. The displayed configuration uses a 5-Minute timeframe, 0.01 fixed lot size, 2,000-point Take Profit, 1,000-point Stop Loss, and an active trailing-stop system.
Its breakout engine uses a 150-period lookback together with a 30-period High/Low calculation, while both Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders are enabled. Pending orders can remain active for up to 720 minutes, and the ATR filter uses a 20-period base with a 5.0 multiplier.
For traders evaluating this configuration, particular attention should be given to the relationship between the 2,000-point Take Profit and 1,000-point Stop Loss, the 100-point trailing trigger, 70-point trailing distance, 10-point minimum candle size, and the 0-point spread/breakout filters. The news filter is currently disabled, so traders who want additional protection around economic releases should review those settings before live deployment.
