The default parameters are optimized for EURUSD symbol pair. However, there aremany adjustable inputs allowing customization across symbols.

These configuration options are documented onInput parameters wikipage. Modifications can optimize performance for alternatecurrency pairs when rigorously backtested.

We strongly advise thorough demo testing or backtesting before attempting livetrading with new settings. Each symbol and broker combination can behavedifferently. Optimize parameter changes carefully based on evidence fromextensive simulations across diverse market conditions.

Live execution should only be considered once the risk-adjusted profile provesrobust during demo trading or backtesting. Please trade live at your own risk,only with full confidence in the strategy's integrity across settings,brokers, and pairs based on your own rigorous testing.

The SET files represent the best performing input values found duringpre-release optimization testing.

The EA ships already with optimized parameter files tailored specifically forEURUSD trading. These SET files represent the best performing input valuesfound during pre-release optimization testing.

Each release could have slightly different parameters, so don't mix old SETfiles between different releases.

Please use the SET files included with your downloaded release package ratherthan older versions. Optimization is performed before major updates, soparameters evolve across releases to adapt to changing market dynamics.

This expert advisor provides a wide range of integrated trading functionality:

• Numerous Strategies: Choose from dozens of pre-built algorithmic tradingstrategies across various timeframes and technical indicators.
• Risk Controls: Configure price and trade stop limits along with customizablefilters for opening or closing trades based on market conditions.
• Tunable Parameters: Fine-tune behaviors by adjusting dozens of input settingsfor elements like risk limits, position sizing, indicators, and more.

The unique filtering system offers precise control over trade entry and exittiming. Filters can be configured around account metrics, chart data, marketvolatility, active orders, indicators like Moving Averages or RSI, and more.

You are free to customize these filters using Advanced version of EA.

Intelligent trade management utilizes indicators and rules to determine idealtimes to take profits or close losing positions. The dynamic price stop systemaids risk mitigation in rapidly moving markets.

Each EA's strategy includes self-contained algorithms that analyze the marketsusing popular technical indicators across multiple timeframes. Traders canmix-and-match strategies or code custom logic taking advantage of includedfunctions and events.

It is recommended to use MetaTrader 5 platform for backtesting and optimization.

Backtesting is the process of evaluating a trading strategy by applying it tohistorical market data. It allows traders to simulate how a strategy might haveperformed in the past across many market conditions.

Optimization takes this one step further by systematically tweaking astrategy's parameters to determine which configurations may have produced thebest historical results. The goal is to fine-tune inputs related to elementslike risk, position sizing and strategy params to maximize a given performancemetric.

By combining an automated strategy with backtesting and optimization, traderscan rigorously analyze huge amounts of market data efficiently. This providesstatistical insights to build conviction in the strategy's edge while findingoptimal inputs without putting capital at risk.

Please be aware that backtesting cannot reliabily simulate the future outcome.

The backtesting for MT4has been documented atBacktesting using MT4 wiki page.
