Suggested range

—

The ID this leg stamps on its own orders so it never touches positions it did not open. All five legs carry different numbers; change one only if another EA on the same account uses the same value.

Default

3

Suggested range

—

How far (in pips) a market order may fill from the requested price before it is rejected. 3 is a working default for NZD/USD and does not affect the backtest.

Default

true

Suggested range

—

Allows at most one entry per H4 bar for this leg. The published record was measured with this on.

Default

14

Suggested range

—

Bars in the volatility oscillator this leg reads. The five legs use slightly different periods — that difference is the only thing separating them. Part of the measured record.

Default

10

Suggested range

—

How many bars the oscillator is averaged over before it is read. Part of the measured record.

Default

7

Suggested range

—

The window used to scale the reading by recent volatility, so the same number means the same stretch in a quiet market and a busy one. Part of the measured record.

Default

30.0

Suggested range

—

Below this the leg treats price as stretched to the downside and looks to buy. 30 is the measured setting.

Default

Suggested range

—

Above this the leg treats price as stretched to the upside and looks to sell. 70 is the measured setting.

Default

10.0

Suggested range

Default

5

Suggested range

—

How many bars back the turn is measured over. Part of the measured record.

Default

0.1

Suggested range

—

Fixed lot each leg opens with. One input drives them all, so the balance between legs is preserved whatever you set. The record was measured with every leg at 0.1 on a $10,000 account.

Default

60

Suggested range

—

Fixed stop distance in pips for this leg. Every leg risks 60 pips. Part of the measured record — changing it changes the strategy.

Default

100

Suggested range

—

Fixed target distance in pips for this leg. The targets are larger than the 60-pip stop, which is how the EA can win under half its trades and still finish ahead.

Default

24.0

Suggested range

Hour-of-day marker this leg uses to close on the clock rather than waiting for its stop or target. Only two of the five legs carry it. Part of the record.

Default

0.0

Suggested range

—

Halts all five legs if account drawdown from peak equity reaches this percent. 0 = off, which is how the record was measured. If you turn it on, set it above the record's own worst equity drawdown of 19.35% or it will stop the EA during a drawdown it survived.

Default

5

Suggested range

—

The ceiling across all five legs — this is what makes the EA a portfolio rather than five separate EAs. 5 was the measured setting and the EA did reach it during the test, so lowering it would change the record.

Default

0.0

Suggested range

—

Blocks new entries once the combined open volume reaches this. 0 = off (measured setting).

Default

-1

Suggested range

—

Optional session window applied on top of the legs' own rules. -1 = off (measured setting); this EA reads four-hour bars around the clock.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

Minute part of the optional session window. Only used when the start hour is set.

Default

-1

Suggested range

—

End of the optional session window, exclusive. -1 = off (measured setting).

Default

0.0

Suggested range

—

Closes every leg when total floating profit reaches this amount in account currency. 0 = off.

Default

0.0

Suggested range

—

Closes every leg when total floating loss reaches this amount (positive number). 0 = off.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

Force-closes any of this EA's positions older than this many hours. 0 = off, which the record needs: the median position is held five days and the longest ran 32 days, so a low value here would cut trades the record contains.

Default

0.0

Suggested range

—

Halts all legs for the rest of the day once realised loss reaches this. 0 = off.

Default

0.0

Suggested range

—

Same as the daily limit but for the week, starting Monday 00:00. 0 = off.

Default

0.0

Suggested range

—

Same as the daily limit but for the calendar month. 0 = off.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

Halts all legs for the rest of the day after this many losing trades in a row. 0 = off.

Default

0.0

Suggested range

—

Moves a position's stop to entry once it is this many pips in profit. 0 = off, which is how the record was measured — the legs rely on their fixed stops instead.

Default

1.0

Suggested range

—

Extra pips beyond entry to lock in when the break-even move happens. Only used when the trigger is on.
