Parameter Explanations

Volume (Lots)

Defines the trade size the bot will use for each position. Adjust according to your account balance and risk preference.

Stop Loss (Pips)

Sets a fixed stop‑loss distance in pips for all trades. This value is applied unless temporarily removed by the scheduled SL‑management feature.

Take Profit (Pips)

Sets a fixed take‑profit target in pips for every trade.

EMA Period

Controls the period of the EMA trend filter. Higher values create a smoother long‑term trend reference.

MACD Long Cycle

The long‑term MACD component. Adjusting this changes how the bot interprets broader momentum conditions.

MACD Short Cycle

The short‑term MACD component. Lower values make MACD more sensitive to recent price movement.

MACD Signal

The MACD signal line period. Influences how the bot interprets momentum shifts.

Allow Multiple Positions

Enables or disables the bot’s ability to open more than one trade at a time.

Max Positions

Limits the number of simultaneous trades when multiple positions are allowed.

Loss Threshold (Pips)

If any open position drops below this pip value, the bot begins monitoring for potential late‑session loss protection.

Loss Duration (Minutes)

If losses remain below the threshold for this duration, the bot will close all active bot positions.

Remove SL Hour (UK)

The UK‑time hour at which the bot removes stop‑loss from all active positions.

Remove SL Minute (UK)

The minute component of the SL removal time.

Restore SL Hour (UK)

The UK‑time hour at which the bot restores the original stop‑loss values.

Restore SL Minute (UK)

The minute component of the SL restoration time.

Why Stop‑Loss Remove & Restore Exists

The SL Remove/Restore feature helps protect trades during periods when markets often behave unpredictably — such as rollover, low liquidity, or sudden spread widening. These conditions can trigger stop‑loss levels unfairly, even when the trade direction is still valid.

By removing SL at a scheduled time and restoring it later, the bot avoids unnecessary stop‑outs during these high‑risk windows while returning trades to normal protection once conditions stabilise.

Although the default timing is based on UK market behaviour, traders in any country can adjust the schedule to match their own broker’s volatility patterns. UK users can also modify the times if they prefer a different setup.

Loss‑Protection Parameters

Loss Threshold (Pips)
This setting defines how many pips a trade must be losing before the bot begins monitoring it.
For example, if set to ‑5 pips, the bot will only activate loss‑protection once a position drops below that level.
This value is fully adjustable so users can match it to their own risk tolerance.

Loss Duration (Minutes)
This determines how long a trade must remain below the loss threshold before the bot takes action.
If set to 5 minutes, the bot will only close positions that stay in the losing zone continuously for that amount of time.
Users can increase or decrease this duration depending on how quickly they want the bot to react.
