Tab: Advanced

Dashboard, time filter, default SL/TP, signal handling, and architecture settings

Show Dashboard

Default: true

Shows or hides the visual information panel overlaid on the MT5 chart. The dashboard displays current signal status, active trades, connection status, and daily P&L.

Dashboard Theme

Default: DARK

Visual theme for the dashboard overlay. Options: DARK, LIGHT, MATRIX (green on black), TRADINGVIEW (matches TradingView color scheme).

Dashboard X / Y Position

Default: X=10, Y=30

Pixel position of the dashboard panel on the chart. Adjust to avoid overlapping with price action or other indicators.

Use Time Filter

Default: false

Restricts the EA to only open new trades during specific hours. Signals received outside the allowed window are ignored. Does not affect management of already-open trades.

Start Hour / End Hour

Default: 8 / 22 (broker server time)

Hour range during which the EA accepts new signals. Times are in broker server time (visible in MT5's Market Watch clock).

💡 Example: Start=8, End=20: the EA only trades between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM broker time. Outside those hours, signals are received and logged but no orders are placed.

Fixed SL (pips) / Fixed TP (pips)

Default: SL=50 / TP=100

Default Stop Loss and Take Profit in pips applied when a signal does not include these values. Ensures trades always have risk management even when signal providers omit SL/TP.

💡 Tip: Set Fixed SL to a value you are comfortable with. If a signal provides its own SL, that takes priority over the fixed value.

Require SL

Default: false

If true, the EA rejects any signal that does not include a Stop Loss value. No trade will be opened without a defined SL. Use this with strict risk management requirements.

Wait for Complete Signal

Default: false

When enabled, if an initial message has direction but no SL/TP, the EA waits for a follow-up message with complete information before opening any orders. Useful for channels that send signals in two parts.

Wait Timeout (seconds)

Default: 60

Maximum seconds to wait for the complete signal follow-up. If no completion message arrives within this time, the EA either proceeds with the partial information or cancels the entry (depending on the Require SL setting).

Enable Multi-Cycle Architecture

Default: true

Enables the advanced concurrent cycle management engine. Each unique combination of channel + symbol + direction gets its own independent trading cycle, allowing the EA to simultaneously manage 100+ active cycles without conflicts.

✅ Recommendation: Always leave this enabled. It is required for multi-channel, multi-symbol operation and has no performance downside.

Manual TP Levels

Default: disabled

When enabled, the EA completely ignores the Take Profit levels provided in the signal and instead uses up to 10 fixed TP levels defined here (in pips from the entry price). This is useful when you want consistent TP distances regardless of what the signal provider sends.

  • Enable Manual TPs — Master toggle. When ON, signal TPs are ignored and these fixed levels are used instead.
  • TP1–TP10 (pips) — Distance in pips from the entry price for each TP level. Levels set to 0 are skipped.
💡 Example: Manual TP1 = 30 pips, TP2 = 60 pips, TP3 = 100 pips. Regardless of the signal's TPs, the EA will target these exact distances for partial closes and full exits.
⚠️ Note: This override applies only to main cycle trades, not to Pre-Signal orders. Pre-signals always use their own independent Take Profit for Pre-Signals (Pips) parameter. To optionally close pre-signals in sync with a Manual TP level, use Close Pre-Signal at TP (e.g. set to 2 to close all pre-signals when the cycle hits TP2). The existing Break Even and Trailing Stop triggers still work with these manual TP levels.

R:R Ratio TP Levels

Default: disabled New in v17.3

Dynamic TP mode where each Take Profit level is automatically calculated as a multiple of the signal's Stop Loss distance. Instead of fixed pip values, you configure multipliers (ratios) and the EA adapts to every signal's SL automatically.

  • Enable R:R Ratio TPs — Master toggle. When ON, signal TPs are ignored and R:R-calculated levels are used instead.
  • R:R Ratio 1–10 — Multipliers applied to the SL distance. 1.0 = 1:1 (TP at same distance as SL), 2.0 = 1:2, 3.0 = 1:3. Set to 0 to skip a slot.
💡 Example: SL = 150 pips, R:R Ratio 1 = 1.0, Ratio 2 = 2.0, Ratio 3 = 3.0 → TP1 = 150 pips, TP2 = 300 pips, TP3 = 450 pips. The distances adapt automatically to every signal.
⚠️ Priority: Manual TPs take priority over R:R Ratio TPs. If both are enabled simultaneously, R:R Ratio TPs are ignored. R:R Ratio TPs do not apply to Pre-Signal orders.
