1 ForexRealProfitEA - real money proven Forex robot (EA) Current version: updated December 2010 Developer: ForexRealProfitEA team Currencies: multiple currency pairs Timeframe: M15 Website: We would like to thank you for purchasing the ForexRealProfitEA robot, the robot that doesn t talk much, but does much, the robot that doesn t need internet marketing to be sold, but real live accounts published. We truly believe that our robot will become one of the best robots in the world, because prior to purchase anyone can see it at work by following our and our clients live account links, right here. As you can see, by the time our robot was available for purchase, it was already at v5.09. If you are asking yourself why this happened, the answer is simple. This is a robot that has been tested on live real money accounts BEFORE it has been released. With the above in mind, it is very important to read this entire manual thoroughly before making any attempt to use or back-test the robot, as there are some critical things that need to be understood about risk and other robot settings. 1

4 Getting started with ForexRealProfitEA The ForexRealProfitEA robot requires a MetaTrader4 trading platform which is freely available from a wide selection of Forex brokers. New users If you do not have MetaTrader4 installed on your computer then you can download a copy by going here and request a demo account. We personally like MB Trading because they have tight spreads that we need in order to make true profits and because they are a true ECN broker that operates directly on the FOREX market and are not a dealing desk like most commercial brokers. And also we prefer them because ForexRealProfitEA was developed on their MetaTrader 4 platform and it is having the best results here, however you are free to use any MetaTrader 4 broker you wish, but keep in mind to find a broker that offers minimum spreads for best performance of ForexRealProfitEA and also make sure the broker has a good reputation worldwide between its customers. Broker requirements ForexRealProfitEA works basically with any broker that can offer a MetaTrader4 platform, regardless of the account type, if it uses micro or mini lots, 4 or 5 decimal quotations. 4

5 Installing the MetaTrader4 platform Visit (or your broker website) if you have decided to use MB Trading as your forex broker, and click downloads tab and then the download link for the MetaTrader4 platform. A window similar to the one below should appear. Note: With browsers different from Internet Explorer the Run option may not appear. Choose the Save option instead, save the file on the desktop or any folder on the hard drive and run it from that location. 5

6 You will very likely be asked if you trust the source of the file you are running and if it is OK to continue. This is a Windows built-in security system and it is perfectly normal. Just agree and click Run in any similar window that might appear at this time. Note: Some anti virus software might give you some false virus alarms because MetaTrader4 platform includes a protection code that prevents hackers to reverseengineer the software. This protection code looks like a virus and any warning about this issue should be ignored. 6

7 Next you will see a window similar to this one, where you have to choose your preferred language. Click Next to continue. Read the License Agreement and check the box to agree with the terms. Click next to continue ( Next button is inactive until you check the box). 7

8 Choose the folder where you want MetaTrader4 to be installed. It is recommended to install it in the default folder as you can find it anytime when reading this manual. You will need to remember this folder in order to install the ForexRealProfitEA expert advisor. As you make your way through to the installation process, different windows should appear. Just click Next to all of them until you finish the setup process. 8

9 Leave the Launch MBT MetaTrader box checked in order to start the application. After clicking the Finish button, your MT4 will launch. Assuming that you already have an account open with your broker, go to the File menu Login submenu, like in the picture above, to login into your account. In the Login box type in your account number, also type in your password, choose either MBTrading-Demo Server or MBTrading-Live Server, depending on which account you want to login to, and check the Save account information box in order to login to your account automatically each time you start the MetaTrader4 application. 9

10 Existing Users If you already have MetaTrader4 installed on your computer, make sure that you have the most recent version, under Help menu About submenu. At the time ForexRealProfitEA is being launched this version is build 229. Under normal circumstances, each time you start the application it will auto check for the latest build and offer you the opportunity to update the version. If you find out that an earlier version in installed on your system and you are not being offered the option to upgrade, please check with the broker for assistance. Assuming a newer build is available and everything works correctly, a window like this one should appear. Please click the Start button to update your MetaTrader4 platform. Once the update is finished, click the Update and restart button. 10

11 Configuring the MetaTrader4 platform Once MetaTrader4 has been installed, the next thing to do is go to the Tools - Options Menu Select the Expert Advisors tab and make sure to set the checks exactly like in the picture below. Click OK button to continue. The next step is to install ForexRealProfitEA, but before that you have to close the MetaTrader4 application. 11

12 Installing the ForexRealProfitEA ForexRealProfitEA consist of 2 files: - the robot file (ForexRealProfitEA.ex4) - the support file (ForexRealProfitEA.dll) First step in to logon to your own member account on After doing so, go to the Download section and click on the robot setup file. Either save the file on your computer desktop, or in a random folder at your choice or run it directly from the window that pops up. In the next window enter the following installation serial number for demo accounts only: 7LHN-8FBR-J7BL-FN77 12

13 Note: The Next button will stay inactive until you enter the correct serial number. Click it to continue once it is active. Read and accept the License Agreement to continue. Click Next to do so. In the following window you will have to choose the destination folder of ForexRealProfitEA. If you have multiple instances of MetaTrader4 platform installed on your computer, you have to select the one that you have in mind to use the robot with, because one license gives you the right to use the robot on ONLY 1 live account. 13

14 To continue click Next after you have chosen the right destination folder. Next window is a summary of the installation process; review it and if you need to change anything click Previous ; if all is OK click Next. Following that, you will see the installation progress. Once the process is done, click Next to continue. 14

15 This is the final window of the installation process, where you have to click Finish to complete it. Updating the ForexRealProfitEA In order to install an updated version of ForexRealProfitEA robot, simply visit logon to your member account, download the latest installation file from the Download section, remove the old version from all the charts, close the Metatrader4 platform, uninstall the old version of ForexRealProfitEA, install the latest version and follow the same instructions described in the previous section of this manual. After any installation process restart the MetaTrader4 application in order for the changes to take effect. Note: Do not perform any update or reinstallation process while ForexRealProfitEA trades are open!!! Note: Always check the ForexRealProfitEA settings before letting it open any trade. As with new versions, new setting parameter can become available and you need to know what each parameter does, and how to set it. 15

16 Using and Configuring the ForexRealProfitEA v5.11 Configuration of ForexRealProfitEA robot is a very important step. Having installed the robot, restart the MetaTrader4 and go to the Navigator pane on the left side. Clicking the small [+] will expand the Expert Advisors section and will reveal all your installed robots, including ForexRealProfitEA. Note: Please note that ForexRealProfitEA icon is grey, while other icons in the list are colored. This is a perfectly normal thing. Open source Expert Advisors, like Moving Average for example, have colored icons. ForexRealProfitEA has a grey icon because its source code is not open (the robot is protected). To begin trading you will require any open M15 chart. You either can use an existing chart or open a new one, but do not forget to set it to M15 timeframe by clicking M15 button in MetaTrader4. Left click the ForexRealProfitEA icon and drag it to the chart. Changing the timeframe while the robot is already attached is not a problem. Note: You can change it anytime but don t let the ForexRealProfitEA trade on other timeframes, as this can become dangerous and can produce large losses. Our recommendation is to use the ForexRealProfitEA with the following pairs: EURUSD, EURGBP, EURCHF, USDCAD, USDCHF, and EURCAD. Our robot has the best performance with these pairs. Two other pairs that have good results are CADCHF and GBPCHF. There is no limitation using the robot with any pair, but we strongly advise you to back test any pair before trading live, and choose the best ones for live trading. Other pairs except the recommended ones work well with Trend Filter set true. When you drop the ForexRealProfitEA on the chart, a Properties dialogue will open and one of the two windows below (common or inputs) will pop up (depending which one was last used). This Properties dialogue can be accessed later on by pressing the F7 16

17 key on your keyboard or right clicking on the chart and choosing Expert Advisors and Properties from the menu that appears. Assuming that you followed the instructions given earlier in this manual in the Configuring MetaTrader4 Platform chapter, the common tab should have exactly the same settings as the one in the image. If not, please set it exactly the same. The inputs tab is the one where you set the ForexRealProfitEA s parameters and license keys (provided to you in the License Certificate). To change the values of any setting, double click in the Value column. After you drag the robot on the first chart and finish entering all the license information and settings, use the Save button like in the image below to save all the settings for 17

18 future use. This will make the installment of ForexRealProfitEA on other charts a lot easier. Use the Load button for next pairs to load all the settings that you have previously done. By doing so you will not have to enter the license information each time you attach ForexRealProfitEA to a chart. You will only need to change MaxSpread, MagicNumber, TakeProfit or StopLoss, depending on your needs. Note about the trading range: In the summer time (DST in USA): 21:00 GMT - 21:59 GMT In the winter time (USA): 22:00 GMT - 22:59 GMT 18

19 Next we will give you detailed explanations of each and every variable that can be set. ForexRealProfitEA Settings Account_Number Please type in here your Live Trading account number (found also in the upper left corner of the metatrader4 window) provided by your broker when you opened the live trading account. _Address Type in here the address that you used when you purchased the ForexRealProfitEA (found also on your License Certificate) KeyPrefix Type in here the Key Prefix found on your License Certificate Key1 / Key2 / Key3 Type in here the License Key1, License Key2 and License Key3 found on your License Certificate. TimeFrame = M15 - Our recommended time frame is M15. - Do not use ForexRealProfitEA with other time frames unless you make several back tests to see its results. Attach the robot to other times frames charts only if you are totally satisfied with the back test results. 19

20 Currency = any - Our recommendation is to use the robot with the following pairs: EURUSD, EURGBP, EURCHF, USDCAD, USDCHF, EURCAD and GBPCHF. - You can use other pairs too, there is no limit in doing that, but before you trade you have to back-test anything that is not recommended by us. Magic Number Use a different MagicNumber for the same traded pair at the same time on different charts. UseAutoGMT It is recommended to set the UseAutoGMT to true so the ForexRealProfitEA can calculate correctly the difference between the GMT hour and the broker hour. Do not forget to set the UseAutoGMT to false when you are doing back tests. Set_StartHour This is the hour when the robot starts trading. The recommended StartHour for trading is 21 GMT for the summer time and 22 GMT for the winter time. Important note: If you are using the robot with UseAutoGMT set to false, when setting StartHour, you have to calculate the difference (called GMT offset) between GMT hour and broker hour and add it to the GMT hour!!! Example given: If your broker hour is GMT+2, then recommended StartHour is 21+2=23 If your broker hour is GMT-4, then recommended StartHour is 21-4=17 For the hour 24 use

21 Note: If you are not sure about GMT offset please double check with your broker, because failing to set this parameter correctly can cause big losses. Set_StartMinute: This is the minute after the StartHour when the robot starts trading. The recommended StartMinute is 0. Set_EndHour: This is the hour when the robot stops trading. The recommended EndHour for trading is 21 GMT for the summer time and 22 GMT for the winter time. Important note: If you are using the robot with UseAutoGMT set to false, when setting EndHour, you have to calculate the difference (called GMT offset) between GMT hour and broker hour and add it to the GMT hour!!! Example given: If your broker hour is GMT+2, then recommended StartHour is 21+2=23 in the summer time and 22+2=00 in the winter time. If your broker hour is GMT-4, then recommended StartHour is 21-4=17 in the summer time and 22-4=18 in the winter time. For the hour 24 use

22 Set_EndMinute: This is the minute after the EndHour when the robot stops trading. The recommended EndMinute is 59. Very important note for Set_StartHour and Set_EndHour: Do not forget to check the GMT offset of your broker when daylight changes occur and adjust the Set_StartHour and Set_EndHour accordingly. Set_Lots This setting defines the dimension of the open position when money management is not used. This parameter has no effect if MoneyManagement is set to true. Note: You have to check if the lot size you intend to use is allowed by the broker. If the lot size you intend to use is not permitted by the broker (it is lower then the minimum permitted lot size or exceeds the maximum permitted lot size), the lot size will be adjusted automatically to the assessed limits. For example, if you want to set the lot size to 1 micro lot (0.01 lots), check if your account allows micro lot trading. Recommended SetLots is 0.01 (1 microlot) for each $150-$200 of you account balance. Example given: If your account balance is between $450 and $600 recommended SetLots is

23 Set_MaxSpread (in pips) This input prevents trades to be open if the spread offered by the broker is higher then this value. The lower the spreads, the larger the profit. Recommended values for Set_MaxSpread: - EURUSD = 2.5 pips - EURGBP = 3.0 pips - EURCHF = 4.0 pips - USDCAD = 5.0 pips - USDCHF = 4.0 pips - EURCAD = 7.0 pips - GBPCHF = 6.5 pips Set_Slippage (in pips) If you or a robot make an order to open a position or close an open position, and until the order gets through at the broker the current price for that pair changes, the broker will give you an off quote error message. This usually happens when internet connection is poor or when price changes happen quickly. The Set_Slippage value defines the maximum deviation in pips accepted for opening or closing a position, from the price that the open or close order was placed at. Recommended Set_Slippage is 1. 23

24 UseStopLoss This setting is used to stop the losses when an open order develops against you. You can either choose to use the Stop Loss or not. If you set this parameter to false the ForexRealProfitEA will not let you loose all the money from the account. It has a dynamic Stop Loss in its code that will close a loosing position at a certain time. If you choose to set the UseStopLoss to false, we recommend you to make back tests to see if the performance of the robot is acceptable to you with this setting. Our recommendation is to set the UseStopLoss to true. Set_StopLoss (in pips) This setting defines the maximum value in pips when the robot will close a loosing position. As said before, ForexRealProfitEA uses a dynamic Stop Loss algorithm. Set_StopLoss defines the maximum loosing limit. The higher the StopLoss value is, the bigger the profits are on long term. Of course you don t have to exaggerate with increasing the StopLoss value, as in case of doing so and a disadvantage situation occurs, you can suffer big losses. Our recommendation for Set_StopLoss is 100 pips for any of the recommended pairs, except EURCHF which can be set to 60 pips. Some of the recommended pairs never touched the 100 pips Stop Loss value in 10 years of back test. If you choose to set a different value please make back tests with that setting to check the ForexRealProfitEA s performance. 24

25 UseTakeProfit This setting is used to close a winning position at a certain number of pips. You can either choose to use the Take Profit or not. If you set this parameter to false the ForexRealProfitEA will still close the winning positions following its dynamic Take Profit algorithm. Our recommendation is to set the UseTakeProfit to true. Set_TakeProfit (in pips) This setting defines the maximum value in pips when the robot will close a winning position. As said before, ForexRealProfitEA uses a dynamic Take Profit algorithm. Set_TakeProfit defines the maximum number of profit pips when UseTakeProfit is set to true. Our recommendation for Set_TakeProfit is: - EURUSD = 10.0 pips - EURGBP = 10.0 pips - EURCHF = 10.0 pips - USDCAD = 10.0 pips - USDCHF = 10.0 pips - EURCAD = 10.0 pips - GBPCHF = 10.0 pips Note: The Set_TakeProfit can be defined with decimals also. 25

26 InvisibleMode When using the InvisibleMode, the true Take Profit and Stop Loss values are not displayed to your broker. Our recommendation is to use the InvisibleMode only for non ECN brokers. Characteristics of the ECN broker: A type of Forex brokerage firm that provides its clients direct access to other Forex market participants. ECN brokers don't discourage scalping, don't trade against the client, don't charge spread (low spread is defined by current market prices) but charge commissions for every order. Characteristics of the retail or commercial broker: Retail Forex Company acts as the market maker for all your trades. They shade prices, widen spreads arbitrarily, and trade against you. The advantages retail brokers provide are that you can open an account with very little money, they give you crazy leverage, and usually you can demo trade on their platforms until you learn what you're doing. Most of them also have micro and mini lots so you can trade very small sizes. UseTrendFilter When this is set to true, ForexRealProfitEA uses a trend filter and opens transactions only in the direction indicated by the trend of a superior timeframe. It is recommended to set the UseTrendFilter to true for all the other pairs that are not recommended in this manual. It is highly recommended to make back tests even if you set the UseTrendFilter to true. 26

27 NFA ForexRealProfitEA doesn t do hedging, but if you use multiple expert advisors on the same account and the broker doesn t allow hedging, then when NFA is set to true, ForexRealProfitEA doesn t open positions that are in hedging situation even though it has a trading signal. When NFA is set to false, ForexRealProfitEA can come in a hedging situation with other expert advisors installed on the same account. AFMP (account free margin protection - %) Default value for AFMP is 75%. This parameter prevents new positions to be open if, by doing so, more than 75% of the free margin is being used. Example given: - Account balance = 1000 USD - Free margin = 410 USD If AFMP = 60%, next trading signal uses 50 USD margin, resulting into a =360 USD free margin remaining, which is less than 40% free margin so this position will not be open. P01 ForexRealProfitEA internal parameter. Default value is 12. Use only default value or values provided in the member zone area. 27

28 MoneyManagement Money management is a system that automatically calculates the size of the open positions according to the account s balance. Our recommendation is to set MoneyManagement on true because it produces more consistent profits. MM_Option This option calculates the risk according to Account Balance, Account Equity or Account Free Margin. Its settings are as follows: 1 Account Balance 2 Account Equity 3 Account Free Margin Default MM_Option is 1 (risk calculated based on the account s balance). This option is very useful in choosing between conservatory and aggressive risk strategy or when using multiple expert advisors on the same account. Risk percent It calculates the size of the next open position according to the stop loss value. This value defines the maximum amount of money (in percentage) of your current Account Balance, Account Equity or Account Free Margin (depending on MM_Option) that you can loose on a single trade for a certain pair when the stop loss is hit. Example given: - Risk percent=5 and Set_StopLoss=100; ForexRealProfitEA will loose 5% of the money if 100 pips stop loss is hit; 28

29 - Risk percent=8.5 and Set_StopLoss=50; ForexRealProfitEA will loose 8.5% of the money if 50 pips stop loss is hit. DO NOT TRY TO TRADE 8 PAIRS ALL WITH THE RISK SET TO 15% BECAUSE YOU WILL RISK MORE MONEY THAN YOU HAVE INTO YOUR ACCOUNT!!! (15% X 8PAIRS = 120% RISK!!!) Internals As the text says, DO NOT change anything below this line or the robot will stop working.
