Banana EA MT5: Automated Algorithmic Trading & Prop Firm Expert Advisor
What is Banana EA MT5?
Banana EA MT5 is a professional-grade, fully automated Expert Advisor engineered specifically for MetaTrader 5. Built by iTradeAIMS, it automates the proven Banana Strategy: a disciplined price-action framework that detects impulse-and-pullback continuation structures strictly on completed candle closes.
Whether you trade Forex majors, stock indices (DAX40, US30, NAS100), or commodities, Banana EA provides institutional-grade risk management, automated order routing, and multi-stage trade scaling.
Banana EA is engineered for sustainable longevity. It never uses martingale, averaging-down, or grid strategies. Every position is protected by a hard Stop Loss, dynamic position sizing, and automated risk circuit breakers.

Engineered for Prop Firms & Challenge Mode
Passing funded trader challenges requires strict risk adherence rather than high gamble ratios. Banana EA MT5 features a dedicated Challenge Mode Suite:
- Daily Drawdown Limit: Automatically halts new entries and liquidates open trades if total daily loss touches your threshold (e.g., 4% max daily loss).
- Trailing High-Water Mark: Locks in trailing profits and calculates drawdown from peak equity rather than initial balance.
- Consecutive Loss Breaker: Enforces a mandatory cooldown period if 2 or 3 trades hit stops in a single session.
- Session Profit Target Lock: Ceases trading automatically once your daily or weekly target is reached, preventing over-trading give-backs.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) & Price Action Alignment
Banana EA translates institutional order flow and market structure into automated rules:
- Impulse Leg = Institutional Displacement / Momentum Push
- Pullback Phase = Liquidity Retracement / Fair Value Fill
- Banana Trigger = Order Flow Resumption / Break of Structure (BOS)
- Partial Take Profits = Scaling into Liquidity Pools (Equal Highs / Lows)
