# AIMS Momentum EA — Settings & Parameter Reference

**AIMS Momentum EA** is built with a streamlined **3-Bucket Parameter Architecture** to eliminate curve-fitting and parameter bloat.

## 2. Invariant Strategy Constants (Locked Internal)[​](#2-invariant-strategy-constants-locked-internal "Direct link to 2. Invariant Strategy Constants (Locked Internal)")

These parameters are mathematically locked inside the engine to prevent curve-fitting:

* **`InpUseFreeTrade = true`**: Always bank 50% cash profit at $+1.0R$.
* **`InpMoveToBEAt1R = false`**: Never move SL to Break-Even at 1R (preserves runners during structural retests).
* **`InpTakeProfitR = 0.0`**: No artificial Take Profit cap (unlimited upside).
* **`InpTrailingMethod = TEETH`**: Trails along the Alligator Red Line (Teeth).
* **`InpExitOnLipsClose = true`**: Exits early if price closes across the Green Line (Lips) while in profit.
* **`InpPendingExpiryBars = 3`**: Automatically cancels stale pending stop orders after 3 bars.

## 3. Auto-Symbol Profile Mapping Table (v1.10)[​](#3-auto-symbol-profile-mapping-table-v110 "Direct link to 3. Auto-Symbol Profile Mapping Table (v1.10)")

When `InpAutoDetectProfile` is set to `true` (default), the EA automatically detects the chart symbol upon attach, allocates a unique non-colliding Magic Number, and activates the calibrated Stop Loss model:
