⚠️ IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE: The DAX Quant V1 Expert Advisor works strictly in tandem with the TurnAround Indicator. You must place the indicator file into your MQL4/5 -> Indicators folder and the EA file into your MQL4/5 -> Experts folder. Ensure "Allow DLL imports" and "AutoTrading" are enabled.
⚙️ Entry & Risk Settings
| Trade Direction (dir) |
Choose whether the bot should execute Buy, Sell, or Both. |
| Market Entry |
If true, the EA enters directly at the current market price upon signal. If false, it uses pending orders for better pricing. |
| Fixed Lot Size (lot0) |
The static lot size used if dynamic risk calculation is disabled. |
| Use Risk (userisk) |
If true, the EA calculates lot sizes dynamically based on your account balance and the Stop Loss distance. |
| Risk Percent (riskpct) |
The percentage of your total account balance to risk per single trade (e.g., 2.0 = 2%). |
🛡️ Dynamic Protection (SL & TP)
| Fixed SL / TP Points |
Fallback fixed point distances for Stop Loss (slp) and Take Profit (tpp). |
| Use ATR (use_atr) |
If true, the EA uses the Average True Range to calculate dynamic Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, adapting to current market volatility. |
| SL / TP ATR Multiplier |
Determines how wide the stops are. A multiplier of 3.0 means the SL/TP is placed at 3x the current ATR value. |
🎯 Trade Management & Exits
Break-Even & Trailing
| Close Opposite / Turn |
Allows the EA to close open trades or reverse the position if a valid opposite signal is generated. |
| Use Break-Even (use_be) |
Moves the Stop Loss to your entry price once the trade is in profit. be_trig defines the activation points, be_dist adds a buffer for commissions. |
| Partial Close (be_partclose) |
Secures a percentage of the volume (e.g., 50%) when Break-Even is triggered. |
| Trailing Stop (use_trail) |
Activates a dynamic trailing stop. trail_start defines when trailing begins, and trail_dist defines the following distance. |
| Profit Trailing |
Secures overall account profit. profit_start_points activates it, and profit_pct defines how much of the peak profit is locked in. |
Pyramiding & Equity Protection
| Pyramiding (use_pmd) |
Allows the bot to scale into winning trends by adding new positions. pmd_gap defines the distance between added trades. |
| Cumulative Target (use_cum) |
Closes all open positions once a combined target of cum_tgt points is reached. |
| Emergency DD (use_eme) |
Hard equity protection. Closes all open trades immediately if the account reaches the specified drawdown percentage (eme_dd). |
⏳ Trading Sessions & Time Filters
| Max Trades (maxt) |
Maximum allowed number of trades per trading session. |
| Start / End Hour |
Defines the daily operating window of the algorithm (e.g., 09:00 to 21:00). |
| Close Timer (closetimer) |
If true, the EA forcibly closes all open positions at a specified time (close_at) to avoid overnight rollover fees. |
| Trading Days & Months |
Toggle specific days (e.g., Monday-Friday) or months on/off to avoid trading during historically bad market conditions. |
🧠 Algorithmic Signal Engine (TurnAround)
These parameters communicate directly with the TurnAround indicator to filter out bad market noise.
| Setup Candles |
The lookback period to confirm a High-Low/Low-High structure before validating an entry arrow. |
| Max Row Signals |
Limits how many consecutive signals in the same direction the bot is allowed to take. |
| Candle Sentiment |
Analyzes the body-to-wick ratio. Only takes trades if the institutional price action confirms the direction. |
| MACD Settings |
Advanced momentum confirmation (Fast, Slow, Signal). Enables continuation or reversal logic (defer_MACD). |
| RSI Filters |
Trend continuation (rsi_continuation) or reversal (rsi_reversal) logic based on standard oscillator thresholds. |
| Moving Average (ma_filter) |
Filters trades against a baseline trend direction (e.g., 50 EMA). |
| Heiken Ashi Filter |
Smooths out price action using Heiken Ashi mathematics to ensure entries during established micro-trends. |

🛠️ Troubleshooting & FAQ
| The EA doesn't trade / Smiley face is frowning |
Ensure the "AutoTrading" button at the top of your MetaTrader terminal is green (enabled). Right-click the chart, go to Expert Advisors -> Properties, and ensure "Allow live trading" is checked. |
| License Verification Error / DLL Error |
The EA must verify your account number. You must enable "Allow DLL imports" in your MetaTrader options. If you still get an error, ensure your account number matches the one you registered. |
| Missing Indicator Error |
The EA will not function if it cannot read the TurnAround indicator. Ensure the indicator file is placed correctly in the Indicators folder. |
