How to install

Requirements

MM & Risk settings

• Check for Instances of the Perceptrader AI EA checks that only one instance of the EA is running at a time. If EA detects other instances with the same UID, trading will be disabled.
• Allow Opening a new Initial Trade? – on/off opening of new grids. It does not affect the already open grids.
• Allow Manual Trading Buttons – enable/disable manual trading buttons that allow you to manually open an initial trade: the EA will pick up the manually opened trade and manage it as usual. The buttons are affected by the following parameters: Symbols, Maximum Spread, and Maximum Symbols at a time.
• Lot-sizing Method – select the lot sizing method according to the risk you want to take: Fixed Lots will use fixed lot size from the “Fixed lot” parameter, Dynamic Lots will use ‘Dynamic Lot’ parameter, Deposit load will calculate lots based on deposit load%, and 4 predefined presets will calculate risk automatically for you.
• Fixed Lot – fixed trading lot for the initial trade.
• Dynamic Lot (Balance/Equity based) – balance/equity to be used per 0.01 lot.
• Deposit Load % – % of the deposit that will be totally used to open the initial trade.
• Fixed Initial Deposit? (Tester only) – lot size will be calculated based on the initial deposit; new profits will not be considered.
• Tester Withdrawal (Tester only) – the withdrawal will take place if the account equity exceeds the specified value. For MT5 only.
• Withdrawal Amount (Tester only) – amount to withdrawal.  For MT5 only.
• Rounding Method – allows you to choose the method of rounding fractional lots to calculate trading lot sizes.
• Max Lot per Order – maximum size of a single order.
• Auto Split? – option allowing the EA to trade with any lot size/volume without limits. Most brokers have a limit of 100 lots per order, so if the option is enabled, the EA will automatically split a large trading volume (e.g. 10000 lots) into multiple smaller orders (not more than 100 lots per the child order). It is intended to be used in tester to allow testing the EA on all the available history.
• Maximum Spread, in pips – maximal allowed spread.
• Maximum Slippage for a non-ECN acc, in pips – max allowed slippage for a non-ECN account.
• Maximum Symbols at a time – maximal allowed number of symbols that can be opened at the same time.

• Disable Trades on the Same Side of a Currency – this option disables the opening of new initial trades on the same side of a currency. For example, it can help prevent having 2 shorts for CAD at the same time to protect accounts from a strong trend for the CAD currency.
• Allow Hedging? – allow opening multi-directional trades on the same symbol.
• Allow Trading on Holidays? – on/off Christmas/New Year trading filter.
• Allow to Buy/Sell – on/off Buy/Sell trades.
• Minimum Free Margin % [0-disabled] – if Free Margin% falls below the specified value, the EA will not place new pending orders and will cancel already placed ones.

• Handle Max Drawdown Events on Every Tick – enable/disable drawdown event handling on every tick (instead of once a minute which is used by default, it may consume more CPU resources).

TakeProfit settings

• TakeProfit for Initial Trade, in pips – take profit for the initial trade (if no grid trades opened).
• Weighted TakeProfit? – if true, then Grid TP is weighted by volume so TP in pips decreases in proportion to the open volume of the grid levels. This allows keeping the initial TP in money unchanged after adding new averaging trades.

• Grid Level to Start (1-initial trade) – allows you to skip a certain number of grid levels, trading will start from the specified level. To calculate entries correctly, the EA opens “marker” orders at skipped levels with a minimum lot size.
