How to build a prop firm-compliant EA for MT5 — complete guide
Learn how to build trading algorithms that pass prop firm rules with daily loss thresholds, high-water mark trailing stops, and news filters.
A full MT5 trading automation system integrating real-time Forex Factory news data, configurable drawdown protection, trailing stop with breakeven automation, and an on-chart control panel with manual override — designed to avoid high-impact news events without any manual monitoring.
Automated MT5 systems have no native awareness of scheduled high-impact news events — leaving positions open and new entries firing during the most unpredictable market conditions. Manual pausing requires constant monitoring and interrupts fully automated operation.
Automated retrieval and parsing of live Forex Factory economic events without external DLL dependencies.
Configurable pause windows before and after high-impact releases (NFP, CPI, FOMC, Rate Decisions).
Enforces account-level maximum daily loss and trailing drawdown thresholds with emergency auto-flattening.
Dynamic trailing stop logic supporting single orders and multi-order basket trailing across active positions.
Moveable GUI with instant quick-action controls for manual override, bulk closing, and algo toggling.
A full MT5 trading panel and automation system integrating a real-time Forex Factory news filter that displays upcoming high-impact events directly on the chart and automatically pauses algo trading during configurable pre/post-news windows. Configurable stop loss activation, maximum drawdown protection, trailing stop with breakeven automation, and MA filters enforce risk rules during normal conditions. The on-chart control panel provides quick-action buttons for TP management, bulk close, and instant algo disable — with full manual override capability.
Parses economic event data via asynchronous HTTP requests, caching high-impact releases locally for zero-latency lookups.
Plots upcoming event countdowns and impact badges on-chart, automatically halting algo execution during configured news buffers.
Monitors real-time equity drawdown, activates breakeven buffers, and enforces hard risk cutoffs across open tickets.
Custom MQL5 canvas providing instant manual override, quick TP/SL adjustment, bulk position closing, and one-click algo pause.
A breakdown of the live news ingestion architecture, event filter logic, and drawdown controls engineered for this MT5 deployment.
Risk mitigation benchmarks and operational reliability validated across live market conditions.
High-impact news events are avoided automatically based on live Forex Factory data — with no manual monitoring required. Drawdown and trailing stop automation enforce risk rules consistently, while the on-chart panel provides instant override capability at all times.
