04 / Configure

Configure your inputs

GBP Master excels in simplicity — everything is managed internally. Your main task is the Account Balance Percentage.

Basic settings
ParameterDefaultDescription
Magic NumberAutoUnique identifier for this EA's trades. Set a different value per EA if running several on one account.
Override Balance with Initial Account SizefalseEnable to use a custom balance for risk calculations instead of your actual balance.
Initial Account Size0Used when Override Balance = true. The account size the EA uses for risk (e.g. a prop firm starting balance).
Account Balance Percentage10Percentage of balance to risk per trade. Thanks to the compensating risk system you can safely use higher values than traditional EAs — try 10%, 20%, even 50%.
Monitor ResolutionAutoAdjusts the on-chart interface to your monitor for the best display.
About the risk management system. GBP Master eliminates reliance on traditional stop losses. Each trade includes a 2500-point safety SL for risk accounting, but it is rarely triggered — and even then the full lot size is almost never used. The EA compensates losing trades with partial profits from winners, giving smoother growth. That's why you can risk higher percentages (10–50%) than the traditional 1–2%.
05 / Prop firm

PropFirm settings

Dedicated features for prop firm challenges and funded accounts.

Available settings
ParameterDefaultDescription
Stop on Profit ReachedfalseAutomatically stops the EA once the target profit is reached — ideal for signalling you've passed a validation challenge.
Max Daily DD (Drawdown)DisabledCloses all trades if daily drawdown exceeds your threshold. Modes:
  • % of Account Balance
  • % of Initial Account Size
  • Fixed Amount (USD)
How Stop on Profit works
  1. 1Set your target in the EA settings.
  2. 2The EA monitors profit continuously.
  3. 3Target reached — the EA closes all positions and stops trading.
  4. 4Challenge passed — you've hit your prop firm profit target.
How Max Daily DD works
  1. 1Set your threshold — choose the DD mode and value.
  2. 2The EA tracks drawdown in real time.
  3. 3Threshold exceeded — all trades are immediately closed.
  4. 4Account protected — further losses for the day are prevented.
PropFirm tip: set Max Daily DD slightly below your firm's actual limit to absorb slippage and spread widening — e.g. if the firm allows 5% daily DD, set the EA to 4%.
Recommended prop firm setup:
  • Enable Stop on Profit with your challenge target.
  • Set Max Daily DD to 80% of your firm's actual limit.
  • Use Initial Account Size = your challenge starting balance.
  • Start with a conservative Account Balance Percentage (10–20%).
FAQ

Hard questions, direct answers

It compensates losing trades with partial profits from winning trades, eliminating reliance on traditional stop losses. Each trade carries a 2500-point safety SL for risk accounting, but it is rarely triggered — and even then the full lot size is almost never used. The result is smoother, more consistent growth, and you can safely risk higher percentages per trade (10–50% vs the typical 1–2%).

Thanks to the risk system you can use higher values than traditional EAs:

  • Conservative (10–15%): prop firm challenges or risk-averse traders.
  • Moderate (20–30%): balanced risk/reward for most traders.
  • Aggressive (40–50%): maximum growth on personal accounts.

Tip: start at 10% on demo to learn the EA's behaviour, then adjust upward.

Possible, but each EA works best as the only one active. If you do run several:

  • Set unique Magic Numbers to avoid conflicts.
  • Calculate the required margin for each EA.
  • Ensure enough free margin for all to operate.
  • Consider separate accounts for cleaner portfolio management.

MT5: a green hat icon (top-right of the chart) = running; red or gray = stopped.

MT4: a smiley face = running; a sad face = stopped.

Make sure Algo Trading (MT5) / AutoTrading (MT4) is green in the toolbar.

Any timeframe. GBP Master detects and uses the correct one internally — switch freely on the chart. The only requirement is that you're on a GBPUSD chart.

Yes — download the demo from MQL5 and test it in the Strategy Tester: open MetaTrader, go to View → Strategy Tester (or Ctrl+R), select the EA, choose GBPUSD, set a period (e.g. 1 year) and run.

Yes. GBP Master ships Stop on Profit Reached, Max Daily Drawdown, and Initial Account Size for accurate risk on funded balances. See the PropFirm settings above for the recommended configuration.

No. GBP Master uses traditional algorithmic strategies — no AI, no API keys, no monthly costs, no external connections. If you want an AI EA, see DoIt Alpha Pulse AI, which connects to 6 AI providers.
