Description of parameters – Trading Systems – 28 February 2022

License key number. Generated automatically at the time of payment for the product. After payment, a link to a personal page with a key will be sent to your email. Also, you can always see the key number on this site in your personal account. The key is generated based on your name.

Thus, you can use the purchased adviser on any account issued in your name. The Expert Advisor cannot be used on demo accounts, as demo accounts can be opened in any name. To test strategies in real market conditions without risk, use cent accounts. When buying this Expert Advisor in the MQL5 market, this parameter is inactive and can take any value.

Used during Expert Advisor optimization. During the optimization of the Expert Advisor, its separate copy is launched on a real-time chart with the Accountant parameter enabled. As a result, the robot will display on the graph the number of optimized files in each created folder, and opposite the number of days – the oldest file.

The number of rows in each individual column. The number must be specified taking into account the resolution of your monitor. The more rows in each column, the more of them will fit on the graph.

Table font size in Accountant mode. It is set depending on the monitor resolution and computer settings.

Sandbox folder where files are saved during optimization before they are transferred to the main folder. Before transferring the settings files, you can check for stability and only then transfer the settings files to the main folder. To transfer it is necessary to press the button (Moving) on the chart (the button is located in the lower right corner of the chart). Provided that an Expert Advisor in (Accountant) mode is installed on the chart.

Delete all files from the main folder before transferring files from the sandbox to it. This is necessary if you want to exclude the possibility that some files that were previously used will remain and will not be updated due to changes in the strategy, currency pairs, period and other criteria.

In the case of direct recalculation (Straight), the function allows you to determine which trading instruments of those that the broker has are not in the list of the adviser. When recalculating (Back), on the contrary, the function determines which trading instruments from those that are on your list are not available from the broker.

Confirmation of actions in case of moving or deleting files using the buttons from the chart. Disabling may be needed in case of speeding up the process.

If enabled, the optimized currency pair will be displayed on the left side of the chart during the optimization of the Expert Advisor. This is necessary solely for the visualization of the process, there is no need for this.

Trading with automatic loading of settings from the server. In this case, the robot is launched on only one chart, and trading will be carried out in a multi-currency mode on a variety of currency pairs and with different periods. The robot will determine the number of pairs automatically according to the loaded settings. Typically, 10 to 30 currency pairs are used. At the same time, the robot does not allow deposit overload and can trade with an amount of $100 or more.

If LocalFolder the robot will try to load files with settings from the local folder of the terminal otherwise from the shared folder of all terminals. During testing and optimization, the robot has access only to the shared folder of all terminals.

Sending files with settings to the server (for example, the server of your site, you must first configure the terminal to send files via FTP protocol with a login and password) for subsequent download by an adviser from anywhere in the world (you must first specify the address of your server in the terminal settings). Files are sent at the time of loading the adviser and every 24 hours. This may be necessary if you are optimizing on your computer, and trading is carried out on a VPS, from where the robot will independently download the latest settings from your site, the restart is also carried out every 24 hours. Any person can download files with settings from your site, for this it will be enough to specify the address of your server in the terminal settings.

Trims the names of folders with files. This may be necessary when, according to the rules of some servers, the name of folders with files cannot exceed a certain number of characters.

If you turn on the robot will work in turbo mode. Such work involves bypassing all available files in different folders, the number of folders can reach up to 200. In this mode, the robot is able to open a huge number of transactions, depending on other settings.

The maximum number of positions in the terminal for all instruments.

Comments about the state of the trading process. It is better not to turn it off, in the case of using strategies that require maximum data processing speed, information is updated only at opening prices.

Loading settings from the server. Naturally, files with settings must first be uploaded to the server. This is done using the FTP protocol (you must first configure the terminal with the login and password of the FTP server). By default, the address of our server is indicated, but you can change it to your own.

The number of repetitions of the cycle of loading files with settings. In case of an unsuccessful attempt due to bad internet. If greater than 0, the cycles are repeated as control, even if the previous ones were successful. In the case of repeated cycles, this process takes longer, but the guarantee that all files will be downloaded increases significantly. The next process of reloading files with settings, regardless of the result, will be completed in a day.

Specifies the number of folders when downloading files from the server, or sending them to the server (sending files is mainly done by leaders, professional traders who want to share their settings with other users, or for their own convenience). It is necessary to determine the number of folders when files with settings are loaded with the turbo mode enabled, where the EA uses several folders with files at once. 1 – will mean only one folder, the first in turn, 2 – two folders and so on. Typically, 10 folders (sets) are used on average in turbo mode. The maximum number is 200 folders.

Search for symbols available for download, among those offered by the broker, or among those specified in the parameters of the adviser. Local search significantly reduces the time it takes to enumerate characters.

Periods available for download, all existing in the terminal, or a specific period. If you select PERIOD_CURRENT, all periods will be searched, otherwise a certain period (search time is significantly reduced).

URL address of the server from which the settings will be loaded. The default address is our address, but you can change it to your own. Upload settings to your server and conduct completely independent trading. One of the most powerful systems of this Expert Advisor is fully automatic optimization and uploading of settings to the server (via FTP), after which these settings are also automatically loaded by this robot from anywhere in the world.

Server name of your broker. If you leave the field empty, the robot will read the name of your broker’s server otherwise ServerName. It is necessary to fill in the field if you use the settings obtained in a foreign trading environment (for example, ours) where the server name is necessarily taken into account.

File folder number. This number allows you to find the folder with files you need on the server and upload these files to the robot code. If this number is entered incorrectly, the robot will either download the wrong folder with files, or will not download anything due to its absence. Initially, this number is set during the optimization of the Expert Advisor, and the same number is subsequently used to find these files.

The ID of the EA’s positions as well as the initial number of subfolders located in the folder with the number ForderNumber. During optimization, subfolders receive difference numbers, where the starting number is exactly Magic_Number, all subsequent folders have numbers in ascending order by one digit. Magic_Number is also directly involved in searching for files inside the folder with the ForderNumber number. Initially set during Expert Advisor optimization.

If enabled, the robot will change the position identifiers so that they do not repeat based on the Magic_Number parameter and the sequence number of the location of each individual file. Let Magic_Number = 1 with subsequent recalculation (1)1,(1)2,(1)3,(1)4,(1)5,(1)6,(1)7,(1)8,(1) 9,(1)10,(1)11,(1)12,(1)13,(1)14,(1)15,(1)16,(1)17,(1)18,(1) 19,(1)20 and so on. Normal recalculation with the addition of Magic_Number as a prefix. Thus, if the number of Magic_Number differs, the numbers in the recalculation will never be repeated when using several copies of the adviser within the same terminal.

However, if the TotalPass parameter is used during the optimization of the Expert Advisor, then in this case the ordering of the files is not respected, and as a result of the next optimization, the robot will simply lose control over a number of open positions. Therefore, the DifferentMagic and TotalPass options are incompatible. You need to choose which of the options is more important to you and disable the second one. To disable TotalPass, it must be set to zero.

If greater than 0, then the adviser will trade only if the amount of funds allocated to him for trading equals or exceeds this value, otherwise trading is suspended until the deposit is replenished. If 0 then not used.

the number of currency pairs that can be traded simultaneously;
Several orders can be opened in one series for one currency. The robot counts the number of currency pairs for which positions are open. This is necessary in order to prevent an overload of the deposit. Let’s say 2 positions are open for EURUSD and 3 positions for GBPUSD, the robot will give a value of – 2. This means that there are 2 currency pairs in total.

If several copies of the Expert Advisor work within the same terminal, you can turn off this parameter so that the positions opened by different copies of the Expert Advisor are counted separately, taking into account the ID of ExpertNumber copies of the Expert Advisor. Otherwise, all positions in the terminal will be counted together.

This is a very useful feature that identifies all positions based on friend-foe principle. If you accidentally or intentionally change the settings of the Expert Advisor with open positions, as a result of which the robot will no longer recognize and control some positions in the terminal (this can happen if you change parameters such as ExpertNumber, MagicNumber or currency pairs with open positions), the robot will detect these positions as someone else’s , will display their number on the chart in red and wait for them to close. Until the uncontrolled positions are closed, the robot will not trade.

The number of positions in one pair after which trading in other pairs will be prohibited. If the number of positions in a series for one currency pair exceeds this value, trading in other pairs will be suspended until the drawdown series closes.

Drawdown for all pairs after which trading in other pairs will be prohibited. The total drawdown of the deposit, at which the opening of new positions (except for averaging ones) is suspended.

If enabled, the robot will not open opposite positions.

Buy_Sell – buy and sell market positions, Buy_Sell_Stop – pending positions for a market breakout, Buy_Sell_Limit – pending positions for a market breakout.

Distance from the current price in points from which pending orders are placed. OrderTime – pending orders expiration time in minutes, 11 minutes+OrderTime. If 0 then orders will be placed with the minimum possible time of 11 minutes. However, the EA has an additional built-in function that allows you to delete pending orders forcibly after OrderTime (minimum 1 minute). The difference between the forced deletion of orders by the adviser and the established one is that at the set time, orders are deleted by the broker even when the terminal is closed.

If more than 0, the balance will be virtual, otherwise the real balance is taken. It is used for calculating the lot and early closing of all positions in case of using the loss limit function. This is necessary in cases where you do not want to risk your entire balance, but only some part of it, or several copies of the adviser work on one account and a certain part of the funds is allocated for each copy.

Early closing of all positions in the terminal, for all currency pairs, without taking into account the position identifier sMagicNumber with the ExpertNumber number. ExpertNumber is written in comments to positions.

Profit/loss for the time specified here for all positions with ExpertNumber. The time is counted in days from the current date. If it is equal to 30, it means that the data will be calculated only for the last 30 days. The resulting value is added to the fixed amount of the VirtualAccountBalance. If 0 then not used.

The percentage (of the virtual/real balance) of drawdown at which all positions in the terminal with ExpertNumber number will be closed ahead of schedule. If the UseBalanceStopAll flag is off, then it is not used. Expert_Number – Expert Advisor ID. If several copies are running within the same terminal, this number must be different for each individual copy. This is necessary in order for the adviser to be able to distinguish positions on the principle of friend or foe.

If more than 0 lot depending on the balance otherwise Lot

For every 0.01 – a fixed lot, $100 (high risk), $500 (medium risk), $1000 (low risk).

Multiplication factor of the lot of averaging positions.

Maximum allowable lot.

Maximum allowable spread.

Maximum allowable slip.

If enabled, virtual stop loss and take profit will be used (stored in the EA’s memory and not transferred to the server).

Market take profit if 0 is not used.

Market stop loss if 0 is not used.

Loss limiter as a percentage of the deposit. If the drawdown exceeds this value, all positions with Expert_Number EA ID will be forced to close.

Depth of history for automatic calculation of the distance between positions.

The maximum number of positions.

Maximum lifetime of positions.

Trading pauses before news releases.

Trading pause before news release in minutes.

Trading pause after news release in minutes.

Consider news of the least importance.

Consider news of medium importance.

Consider news of the greatest importance.

Closing positions before news release.

Automatic time shift.

Time shift.

If you turn it off, the time parameters will not be set automatically during optimization. During optimization, such values as start, step, stop are set automatically, but with the help of a flag.

You can turn off automatic optimization of the time range, and set the time as fixed – in the external parameters of the adviser.

At the same time, it should be borne in mind that until the moment when the values of at least one parameter inside the adviser code are set in automatic mode, the external settings for the start, step, stop values are not active. If you want to set these values yourself, you must disable the fully automatic setting of optimization values using the SetDefault flag.

In this case, full control over the optimization processes will be transferred to you and the strategy tester will be required to set the appropriate values for at least one parameter during optimization.

Trading start time.

Trade end time.

Trade on Wednesday (triple swap day);

Trade on Friday (before the market closes).

automatic time shift relative to GMT.

The function is disabled.

The current deviation of the broker’s time relative to GMT.

Manual time shift. It is best to trade with the broker on whose quotes the adviser is being optimized. This eliminates any confusion, in this case GMTAuto=false, GMTDifer=0, this is due to the fact that the MT5 terminal downloads quotes according to the broker’s time.

If you use these settings in a foreign trading environment, then GMT must be shifted relative to the broker on whose quotes it was optimized.

For example, the robot is optimized on RoboForex quotes, the RoboForex broker has 17.00 at the moment, and the “UNKNOWN” broker has 20.00 at the moment, which means that the adviser’s time must be shifted 3 hours back in such a way as to fit it to the server time of the RoboForex broker.

From all this it follows that you need to adjust the time of the adviser for the broker on whose quotes it was optimized.

Trawl positions

Trawl start;

Stop trawl.

indicator period.

Micro trend direction.

Return signal.

Automatic setting of start, step, stop values during optimization.

Trend indicator.

If enabled, the robot will trade on price rollbacks from the main trend, otherwise strictly following the trend. It is preferable to trade precisely on price rollbacks from the main trend, since the probability of price rollbacks is quite high and in the event of a trend reversal, the probability of opening against the global trend decreases.

However, the EA has a lot of strategies that do not fit well with counter-trend calculation systems. You can easily determine this in the strategy tester by the number of transactions that are very much reduced. In this case, you can turn off UseTrendRoll and work exclusively with the trend.

Used in case of automatic setting of SetDefault optimization values. You can change their enumeration range. On large periods, the range should be larger, on small periods, M1, M2, and so on, the range can be reduced. This largely depends on the number of transactions. If you set a large search range on a small period, then the number of transactions can be reduced to a complete blockade.
