Suggested range

Any unique integer

Identifies this EA's positions so it never touches another EA's trades. Change it only to avoid a collision on the same account.

Default

3

Suggested range

1 or more

How far the fill may deviate from the requested price before the order is rejected. Tightening it can skip fills in fast markets.

Default

true

Suggested range

—

Allows at most one entry per M5 bar. The record was measured with this on; turning it off lets the EA re-enter inside the same bar and changes the strategy.

Default

75

Suggested range

—

The shorter of the two trend filters. Both averages must point the same way before any entry is considered, so changing this changes what counts as a trend.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 is a simple moving average. The record was measured on simple averages.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

The price series the average reads: 0 is the close.

Default

225

Suggested range

—

The longer trend filter. On M5 this covers roughly a full trading day, which is what keeps the EA out of counter-trend dips.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 is a simple moving average, the same method as the fast filter.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

The price series the slow average reads: 0 is the close.

Default

20

Suggested range

—

Lookback for the Bollinger calculation. The band is what defines the pullback the EA buys, so this is part of the recorded strategy.

Default

2.0

Suggested range

—

How far the band sits from its middle. Widening it makes the EA wait for deeper pullbacks and trade less.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

The price series the band reads: 0 is the close.

Default

20

Suggested range

—

The lower band's lookback, matched to the upper. The buy trigger is measured against this one.

Default

2.0

Suggested range

—

How far the lower band sits below the middle. This is the level price has to reach before a buy is allowed.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

The price series the lower band reads: 0 is the close.

Default

0.1

Suggested range

Broker min lot or more

Fixed size for every trade — the EA does not scale it to your balance. The record is 0.1 lot per $10,000; keep that ratio (0.05 on $5,000, 0.01 on $1,000).

Default

70

Suggested range

—

Attached at entry and never widened. Half the target distance by design — narrowing it would cut into the break-even move below.

Default

140

Suggested range

—

Twice the stop. The published win rate only means anything against this two-to-one payoff.

Default

1

Suggested range

—

One position at a time. A fresh signal that appears while a trade is open is ignored — this is what keeps the EA off any grid or averaging behaviour.

Default

50

Suggested range

1 or more

Entries are skipped while the spread is above this. Lowering it is safe; raising it lets the EA enter in conditions the record was not measured in.

Default

42

Suggested range

—

Once a trade is this far ahead the stop moves to entry. This single input decides how most trades on this page ended, so changing it changes the record's shape more than anything else here.

Default

1

Suggested range

—

How far past entry the moved stop sits, so a break-even exit closes fractionally green rather than exactly flat.

Default

0

Suggested range

-12 to 14

Your broker server's offset from UTC outside daylight saving. The record was measured on UTC-based tick data, which is why it is 0 here — on a GMT+2 server set 2, or the weekday filter reads the wrong day.

Default

0

Suggested range

-12 to 14

The same offset during daylight saving. Most European-hours brokers run 2 in winter and 3 in summer.

Default

0

Suggested range

0 (US) / 1 (EU) / 2 (none)

Which switch dates the offset above follows. 0 matches the dates the tested history was built on; use 1 for an EU-schedule server and 2 for one that never shifts.
