Prop Master Expert Advisor works according to the classical strategy and follows all the rules set by Prop firms for their clients. The Expert Advisor can be traded both on funded accounts of Prop firms and on your own accounts. There is no restriction on the type of trading account.
How to test the Expert Advisor?
It is important for the Expert Advisor to operate in the correct time zone, so before testing you should correctly set the GMT parameter.
How to set the GMT parameter correctly?
- The setting should be made at the time when the market is open and ticks are received in the trading terminal.
- Open Google and search for "Current GMT time," then open the first website that appears and note the time (for example, it's 10:53).
- Open the trading terminal in which you will be testing and using the Expert Advisor.Open the data window Market watch, and at the top of this window you will see the time of your broker's trading server (let's say it's 12:53).
- Subtract the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) from the broker's time and get the parameter to be set in the Expert Advisor (Example: 12-10=2, set +2 in the Expert Advisor).
IMPORTANT !!!
Check the spread size on your trading account. If the average spread is greater than 5 then you will get results that will be much worse compared to those with a spread size between 0 and 4. Open an ECN or Prime account in your trading terminal and make sure that the spread is between 0-4 pips.
Do not test the Expert Advisor on weekends. Brokers worsen trading conditions in the last seconds of trading on Friday, and trading conditions are fixed for the whole weekend. You may get different results than usual on weekends.
Prop Master respects all requirements of Prop firms
- StopLoss and TakeProfit are set in each trade
- Classic breakout strategy (does NOT use averaging and martingale)
- Does NOT use high frequency trading
- You can set a limit on the maximum number of open trades
- Magic Number and Comment parameters of the order are displayed in the settings. (Set these values to unique to avoid Copy trading blocking)
- The module for tracking drawdowns is already inside the Expert Advisor
How does the drawdown tracking module work?
Especially for working on Prop Firm accounts, the Expert Advisor has a module for monitoring drawdowns on the account. The module takes into account negative trades from the history, as well as current trades that are still in the market. If the drawdown exceeds the maximum specified drawdown on the account or the maximum specified drawdown for the day, the Expert Advisor will close all orders at the market price.
IMPORTANT !!! Prop controller works with all orders on the account and in case of exceeding the drawdown, it will close not only the orders of Prop Master Expert Advisor, but also the orders of other Expert Advisor, which can also work on your account.
How to configure Prop Master for trading on Prop account
- You need to enable the Prop Controller module - "Challenge On" = true.
- Set the value of maximum drawdown for the day "Max. daily drawdown (%)".
- IMPORTANT !!! Set the value a little less than the broker allows, because at times of a very active market you may catch slippage, and the drawdown may slightly exceed the allowed values. In case you set it a little less, you will have a small reserve so that you do not violate the rules.
- Set the maximum drawdown value "Max. equity drawdown (%)" (The rules for setting the drawdown are the same as for the daily drawdown).
- Set the profit target value in percentage "Phase Target (%)". If the profit target value will be reached, the Expert Advisor will stop trading so as not to spoil the situation.
Key advantages of the Prop Master Expert Advisor
The Prop Master Expert Advisor sets adequate small StopLoss and TakeProfit in each order.
It is important to pay attention to this, because some Expert Advisors set a very large StopLoss in the order and just wait for the wrong entry into the trade or do not set StopLoss at all. Thus, you can constantly get profitable trades, but if the market goes wrong, you can get a loss of half of your deposit or lose your entire deposit if StopLoss is not set at all.
A proper money management strategy limits the loss on each trade to a percentage of your deposit.
I believe this is the most correct trading, when you open a trade, you calculate the lot size in such a way that your maximum loss on the trade is from 1 to 7% of your deposit (everyone chooses for himself an acceptable risk per trade). Therefore, the Prop Master Expert Advisor calculates the lot size for each trade individually, based on the StopLoss size calculated by the strategy and the size of your deposit.
The Prop Master uses high-performance trailing stop in trading.
It is necessary to fix the profit, and trailing stop allows you to fix the profit on the trade in case the market suddenly turns to the side against the open trade. Even if in this case you will not always get profit from a larger market movement, but using trailing stop allows you to reduce the number of losses and thus increases the stability and profitability of the Prop Master Expert Advisor.

Der PM MT4 ist seit 18.06 am Handeln, bzw. nicht am Handeln! Dieser gibt zwar BuyLimit und SellStop Positionen ein, werden aber nicht ausgeführt. Ich habe den EA auf vier verschiedenen EURUSD raw 1h Konten, mit und ohne Challenge laufen lassen. Am Anfang war der Händler interessiert zu helfen. Er hat auch am 01.08 das Journal zum Check erhalten... bis heute keine Nachricht.
