AIMS LOBOT EA (MT4) — Quickstart
AIMS LOBOT EA is an automated algorithmic execution system engineered for MetaTrader 4. The software automates the London Open Breakout Trading (LOBOT) model by identifying candle compression patterns (Inside Bars) relative to a configurable daily session benchmark line, executing pending stop orders, and managing positions through automated partial liquidation and volatility-based trailing stop algorithms.
Open an H1 chart for your target asset (e.g. GBPUSD or GER40) and drag AIMSLOBOTEA from the Navigator.
Paste your assigned iTradeAIMS license key into InpSerialKey (leave blank when running Strategy Tester).
Click Load in Inputs and select the pre-calibrated parameter file from MQL4/Presets/AIMSLOBOT/.
Confirm Allow live trading and Allow DLL imports in Common tab, then toggle terminal AutoTrading ON.

Backtested and simulated results have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading and cannot account for market liquidity, broker execution slippage, latency, or spread expansion during news events. Use simulated metrics strictly for algorithmic calibration and risk management verification.
