Pepperstone Broker Notes

This page records neutral setup notes for traders who use Pepperstone with BananaEA.

It is not a recommendation to open an account, and it does not claim that Pepperstone will produce better trading results. Always verify conditions on your own account.

What To Check​

For Pepperstone MT4 accounts, confirm:

  • Server name
  • Account type
  • Symbol name, such as GER40, GER40.r, US30, or broker-specific variants
  • Spread during the session you intend to trade
  • Contract size
  • Tick value
  • Minimum lot and lot step
  • Stop level and freeze level

Strategy Tester Notes​

When backtesting:

  • Use the same symbol name that appears in Market Watch.
  • Download or refresh historical data before testing.
  • Prefer Pepperstone MT4 server history for the exact symbol and server. Generic DAX or Germany 40 data is not the same as Pepperstone CFD history.
  • Use realistic spread and commission assumptions.
  • Save the Strategy Tester report if you need support.
  • Do not treat one broker backtest as a live performance forecast.

Demo Test​

Before live use:

  1. Attach BananaEA to the intended symbol.
  2. Load the correct .set file, if using one.
  3. Use a small risk setting.
  4. Confirm order placement and stop levels on demo.
  5. Review Experts and Journal tabs for errors.

Support Information To Provide​

If you contact support, include:

  • Pepperstone entity and server name
  • Account type
  • Symbol name
  • BananaEA version
  • Preset file name
  • Screenshot of the chart
  • Experts and Journal messages
  • Any broker specification values shown by the EA
