EA Safe-Mode Setup & Risk-Budgeted Growth
We can’t remove losses — we can make them small, rare, and pre-budgeted. Tiny controlled losses, frequent small wins, strict equity rules.
1) Run in “Safe Mode” (Core Settings)
ST_Prox_StrictAlways = true • UseSpreadFilter = false (your call) • AutoSlippage = true
Hard SL
HardSL_Enable = true • HardSL_Source = HSL_BOX_EDGE (or HSL_TIGHTER_OF_BOTH)
HardSL_ManageExistingNow = false • HardSL_ForceOppRemoval = true
Sequencing
OnlyOneEntryPerBar = true • Step_CloseOnNextFlipAfterMax = true • Step_ReenterAfterMaxClose = true
Equity Protection
GlobalTP_% = 0.6–1.0 • GlobalSL_% = 0.8–1.2 • TP_or_Percent_Either = true • SL_or_Percent_Either = true
EquityStopPercent = 10–15
Prefer money targets? Use GlobalTP_Money ≈ 0.6–1.0% of equity and GlobalSL_Money ≈ 0.8–1.2% (can co-exist with %).
2) Start Capital & Lot Sizes (Realistic)
Symbol | Minimum to Run | Comfortable | Start / Increment / Max Lot |
---|---|---|---|
XAUUSD (Gold) M1/M5 | $150–$200 | $300–$500 | 0.01 / 0.01 / 0.05–0.10 |
Major FX (EURUSD, GBPUSD) | $100–$150 | $200–$400 | 0.01 / 0.01 / 0.05 |
Synthetics (e.g., V75) | $300+ | $500–$1,000 | 0.001–0.005 / small inc / small max |
Gold from $50 → $168 is great, but thin margin. With $300+, the same logic survives spikes and compounds smoother.
3) Daily Loop (Compound Without Blowing Up)
- Small daily target: GlobalTP_% ≈ +0.6–1.0% then stop. Example: $300 → TP ≈ $2–$3.
- Firm daily loss cap: GlobalSL_% ≈ 0.8–1.2%, then stop. One bad day ≠ bad month.
- One symbol per account: keeps baskets predictable.
- Lot growth: don’t raise Step_StartLot until equity is +25% from base. Then tweak MaxLot or increment (not both).
- Withdraw on milestones: at +50% growth, withdraw 25%, set a new base.
4) Realistic Compounding (Illustrative)
- ~20 trading days ≈ +10–16% (~$30–$50 on $300)
- ~60 trading days ≈ +33–58% (~$100–$175)
- ~120 trading days ≈ +77–171% (~$230–$510)
Not a promise. The edge is repetition and hard daily stops, not moonshots.
5) Extra Safety Levers
- Raise the box (ST_Prox_ATR_Multiplier +1) on news weeks.
- Shrink the sequence (lower Step_MaxLot) in high volatility.
- BE/Trailing only after months of data — can clip good runs early.
6) Operating Checklist
- VPS near broker (Gold is latency-sensitive)
- One chart = one symbol per account
- Keep logs “English-only” for MQL5 Market
- Walk-forward: train 2021–2023, test 2024–2025
- Forward demo 1 week with your exact broker/contract
Bottom Line
You can’t remove losses — you can budget them. Start $150–$300 on Gold micro-lots, daily TP ~0.6–1.0%, SL ~0.8–1.2%. Scale lots only after +25% equity; withdraw along the way.
