- Prop-Firm / Copy-Trade Management (Magic Number 0 Mode)
- Setup:
- Set Magic Number to 0 in EA settings to enable Trade Management Mode for external/manual trades
- This allows the EA to manage trades you place manually or copy from another source
- Preservation Settings:
- Enable the preserve-existing-SL/TP settings, if available, to keep your manually set SL/TP levels
- EA will manage break-even, trailing, and partial closes without changing your entry levels
- Session Control:
- Use the pending-order session close option, if available, to avoid unwanted overnight pending orders
- Keep the close-trades-at-session-end option off if you want to hold positions overnight
- Risk Limits:
- Set daily drawdown limits to comply with prop firm rules
- Enable Strict Margin Rejection (Backtest Realism) for more realistic margin behavior
- Trailing Settings:
- Set Trailing Stop Method to Pips for straightforward trailing
- Set Distance to 10.0 for a 10 pip trailing distance
- Set Activation to 15.0 to activate after 15 pips profit
- Session Control:
- Enable Session 1 for your active trading hours
- Use the close-trades-at-session-end option if your build exposes it and you want automatic session-end closure
- Use the pending-order session close option if your build exposes it and you want to avoid overnight pending orders
- Automated Signal + Manual Overrides (Hybrid Approach)
- Normal Operation: TC = AUTO to let signal orchestration run automatically
- Manual Intervention:
- If you need to intervene on a specific trade:
- Switch TC to MANAGE (stops new signals)
- Open the trade panel for the position you want to modify
- Adjust SL/TP, add trailing, or close position via panel buttons
- Switch TC back to AUTO to resume signal detection
- If you need to intervene on a specific trade:
- Use Case: Great for when you want automation but need to override specific trades based on news or price action
- Risk-Limited Session (Daily Drawdown Protection)
- Setup:
- Enable Daily DD Control and set Max Daily Loss % in EA settings
- Once daily drawdown limit is hit, dashboard automatically enters PAUSED state
- Behavior:
- All trade execution blocked
- Existing trades remain open (or can be auto-closed based on settings)
- Dashboard displays "PAUSED - DD LIMIT" status
- Manual reset required or waits for next trading day
- Prop Firm Compliance: Essential for staying within daily loss limits
