What LOBOT EA does
AIMS LOBOT EA trades the first moves of the session. It marks the open of the 09:00 server-time bar, waits for an inside bar (the Seed) that sits fully on one side of that line, and places a stop order beyond it.
Seed on the Open Line
A closed inside bar entirely above the 09:00 open is a buy setup; entirely below it is a sell setup. A Seed that touches the line is ignored.
Free Trade at +1R
At +1R the EA closes half the position. The stop is not moved to break-even first.
ATR Trail and Pyramids
After the half is banked, the stop trails 2 ATR(14) behind the last close, forward only. A second runner can open when the first is Free.
How to trade LOBOT EA
Attach and License
Attach the EA to the chart of the symbol you want to trade and enter your Serial Key in Inputs. Until then the chart shows LOCKED and no orders are placed.
Check Server Time
The open line is the 09:00 bar in your broker’s server time. Check what that is in your local time before you set the session window.
Set Risk and Session
Choose risk % or a fixed lot, and the session window in server time. New entries only happen inside the session.
Let It Manage
Pending stops expire after 3 bars, and are deleted if price trades through their stop loss before they fill. An opposite signal cancels the other side.
Setups and chart grammar
The EA checks for a Seed once per closed bar. It manages open positions on every tick.
| Setup | Context | What the EA sees | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy Stop | Closed inside bar entirely above the 09:00 open | Seed high and low | Buy Stop 1 pip above the Seed high, stop loss 1 pip below the Seed low |
| Sell Stop | Closed inside bar entirely below the 09:00 open | Seed high and low | Sell Stop 1 pip below the Seed low, stop loss above the Seed high |
| Free Pyramid | Runner open on the same side and already Free | A new Seed on the same side | A second runner (maximum 2) |
| Exit | Runner open | Price hits the 2 ATR trailing stop | Close the runner |
Seed above the 09:00 open line.
Seed below the 09:00 open line.
Half banked at +1R; the runner trails 2 ATR.
No valid Serial Key: no orders, no management.
The Risk Gate
Before placing an order the EA checks the spread, how far price has already moved past the Seed, and the distance to the stop. If any check fails, the setup is skipped.
risk = |entry - stop| skip if risk > 2.5 x ATR(14) skip if spread > Max spread skip if price is already > 5 pips beyond the Seed
