An Expert Advisor that never leaves a position unprotected.

We build MetaTrader EAs the careful way: the stop ships in the same request as the entry, fills worse than your slippage are refused, and requotes are handled instead of swallowed. Most of the work in a real EA is the gap between a strategy on paper and how a broker actually fills, and that's exactly the part we sweat.

The EA, in real MQL5.

The whole logic is a small file you can read: on a closed bar, if price breaks the range, send the order with its stop and target attached in the same request. No position is ever open without an exit.

The stop ships with the order.

Plenty of EAs open a position, then send the stop as a second step. If that step lags on a fast move, you're naked. The stop and target go in the same request, so the position is protected from its very first tick. A requote is caught and re-priced, not ignored.

A position that's never unprotected.

Here it is on the terminal: the stop and the target were set the instant the order filled, and the profit ticks between them. There's no window where the trade is running without a plan to exit.

stop and target attached at entry · a fast move can't catch it naked

An EA does exactly what you told it, forever, without getting bored or scared.

That's the strength: precise, tireless execution of your rules, 24/5, with a stop attached to every order and every action logged. And that's the whole limitation too. It executes your edge, it doesn't invent one. A tireless machine running a losing strategy just loses faster. We build the machine well. The strategy is the part that has to be yours.
