Suggested range

—

The ID the EA stamps on its own orders so it never touches positions it did not open. Change it only if another EA on the same account happens to use the same number.

Default

3

Suggested range

—

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

Default

true

Suggested range

—

The setup is evaluated once per closed M5 bar. The published record was measured this way; turning it off lets the same run of falling bars fire repeatedly inside one bar.

Default

25

Suggested range

—

The fastest of the three simple moving averages read on M30. All three must be stacked in order before any entry is allowed.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = simple moving average, the measured setting. The other methods change which pullbacks pass the filter.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = close price, the measured setting.

Default

50

Suggested range

—

The middle average of the stack. Its position between the 25 and the 75 is what defines an ordered trend for this EA.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = simple moving average, the measured setting.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = close price, the measured setting.

Default

75

Suggested range

—

The slowest average of the stack. Raising it makes the filter harder to satisfy and cuts the trade count; the published rate of about five trades a month is measured at 75.

Default

0

—

0 = simple moving average, the measured setting.

0

0 = close price, the measured setting.

Default

0.1

Suggested range

0.1 per $10,000 of balance

Fixed lot per trade. The published record is 0.1 lot on a $10,000 balance; scaling both together keeps the drawdown percentage the same.

Default

100

Suggested range

—

Attached when the order is sent and never widened. It was hit in full 144 times in the published record, which is more often than the target was reached.

Default

200

Suggested range

—

Twice the stop, but the rarer of the two outcomes — reached 92 times in the published record. Most winners are closed earlier at the break-even stop.

Default

1

Suggested range

—

One. A setup that appears while a position is open is ignored rather than queued. Across the whole published record the measured maximum of simultaneously open positions is one.

Default

40

Suggested range

—

Entries are skipped while the spread is wider than 40 points. On a broker with a persistently wider USD/JPY spread this reduces the number of trades rather than the quality of each one.

Default

60

Suggested range

—

Once a trade is 60 pips ahead the stop is moved to entry. This is what closes most of the winning trades in the published record, well before the 200-pip target.

Default

1

Suggested range

—

The stop is set one pip beyond entry rather than exactly at it, so a trade that comes back cannot close at a small loss after costs.
