## Introduction



EA31337 is a free and open-source Forex autonomous trading robot

designed for the MetaTrader 4 and 5 (MT4/MT5) platforms.



## About the project



EA31337 provides a comprehensive framework for traders to develop, test, and automate their trading strategies.



It leverages the capabilities of MetaTrader platforms, including the MQL

programming language, backtesting, optimization, and automation features for

executing trading robots.



The aim of the project is to implement a wide array of technical analysis

strategies and custom indicators, facilitating the development of robust

trading systems.

## Features



See: [Features](https://github.com/EA31337/EA31337/wiki/Features).



## Best practises



See: [Best practices](https://github.com/EA31337/EA31337/wiki/Best-practices).



### Key Best Practices



See: [Best practices](https://github.com/EA31337/EA31337/wiki/Best-practices).



## Important Considerations Before Use



See: [IMPORTANT NOTES](https://github.com/EA31337/EA31337/wiki/IMPORTANT-NOTES).



## Documentation and usage



Documentation can be found at the [wiki page][gh-wiki].



### Customization



The default parameters are optimized for EURUSD symbol pair. However, there are

many adjustable inputs allowing customization across symbols.



These configuration options are documented on [Input parameters wiki

page][gh-wiki-inputs]. Modifications can optimize performance for alternate

currency pairs when rigorously backtested.



We strongly advise thorough demo testing or backtesting before attempting live

trading with new settings. Each symbol and broker combination can behave

differently. Optimize parameter changes carefully based on evidence from

extensive simulations across diverse market conditions.



Live execution should only be considered once the risk-adjusted profile proves

robust during demo trading or backtesting. Please trade live at your own risk,

only with full confidence in the strategy's integrity across settings,

brokers, and pairs based on your own rigorous testing.



### SET files



The SET files represent the best performing input values found during

pre-release optimization testing.



The EA ships already with optimized parameter files tailored specifically for

EURUSD trading. These SET files represent the best performing input values

found during pre-release optimization testing.



Each release could have slightly different parameters, so don't mix old SET

files between different releases.



Please use the SET files included with your downloaded release package rather

than older versions. Optimization is performed before major updates, so

parameters evolve across releases to adapt to changing market dynamics.



## Key Capabilities



This expert advisor provides a wide range of integrated trading functionality:



- Numerous Strategies: Choose from dozens of pre-built algorithmic trading

  strategies across various timeframes and technical indicators.

- Risk Controls: Configure price and trade stop limits along with customizable

  filters for opening or closing trades based on market conditions.

- Tunable Parameters: Fine-tune behaviors by adjusting dozens of input settings

  for elements like risk limits, position sizing, indicators, and more.



### Filtering System



The unique filtering system offers precise control over trade entry and exit

timing. Filters can be configured around account metrics, chart data, market

volatility, active orders, indicators like Moving Averages or RSI, and more.



You are free to customize these filters using Advanced version of EA.



### Risk Management



Intelligent trade management utilizes indicators and rules to determine ideal

times to take profits or close losing positions. The dynamic price stop system

aids risk mitigation in rapidly moving markets.



### Strategies



Each EA's strategy includes self-contained algorithms that analyze the markets

using popular technical indicators across multiple timeframes. Traders can

mix-and-match strategies or code custom logic taking advantage of included

functions and events.



You are free to write your own custom strategies.



### Timeframe



For the trading purposes, any timeframe can be used since EA reads data from

multiple timeframes independently from the current chart.



## Downloads



### Releases



Compiled binaries can be downloaded from [GitHub's Release page][github-release-link].



For installation steps, refer to [Installation][gh-wiki-installation] wiki page.



### Compilation



To download the source code along with all dependencies, use the following Git command:



    git clone --branch master --recursive https://github.com/EA31337/EA31337.git



After cloning, place the EA31337 directory into the `Experts` folder located in

your MetaTrader platform's MQL directory.



For more detailed compilation steps, refer to [Compilation][gh-wiki-compile] wiki page.



## Testing



### Backtesting & optimization



It is recommended to use MetaTrader 5 platform for backtesting and optimization.



Backtesting is the process of evaluating a trading strategy by applying it to

historical market data. It allows traders to simulate how a strategy might have

performed in the past across many market conditions.



Optimization takes this one step further by systematically tweaking a

strategy's parameters to determine which configurations may have produced the

best historical results. The goal is to fine-tune inputs related to elements

like risk, position sizing and strategy params to maximize a given performance

metric.



By combining an automated strategy with backtesting and optimization, traders

can rigorously analyze huge amounts of market data efficiently. This provides

statistical insights to build conviction in the strategy's edge while finding

optimal inputs without putting capital at risk.



Please be aware that backtesting cannot reliabily simulate the future outcome.



The backtesting for MT4

has been documented at [Backtesting using MT4][gh-wiki-backtest] wiki page.
