Foundation

FOUNDATION — A NEW CHAPTER

The previous version unfortunately did not withstand changing market conditions as well as I had hoped over the longer term. The development process included extensive historical research and two years of out-of-sample testing. FOUNDATION now takes a different approach: 32 independent, DCA-free, one-shot strategy modules, each with its own Stop Loss and Take Profit.

This new generation is designed for traders who prefer intraday and swing trading, with individual trade management and clearly defined exits.

LIVE SIGNAL ONE FX PAIR SET UP

32 MODULES. ONE CHART.

FOUNDATION is a multicurrency Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5, built around 32 independent modules for intraday and swing trading across 12 Forex pairs.

Each module follows its own entry rules and manages one position at a time.

• No DCA
• No recovery grid
• No martingale lot multiplication
• Individual broker-side SL and TP
• Independent ON/OFF switches for all 32 modules

Different modules may trade the same pair simultaneously. A losing trade does not trigger additional recovery positions from that module.

BUILT FOR INTRADAY AND SWING TRADING

FOUNDATION follows opportunities across 12 Forex pairs:

AUDCAD · AUDJPY · AUDUSD · EURAUD · EURJPY · EURUSD · GBPAUD · NZDJPY · NZDUSD · USDCAD · USDCHF · USDJPY

Some positions close within the trading day; others remain open across sessions. Every module uses its own internally configured timeframe, so one host chart is sufficient.

Modules are organised into Higher R:R and Lower R:R groups based on their configured target-to-stop distances. Each module has a separate ON/OFF switch in Inputs.

REAL TAKE PROFIT AND STOP LOSS

Each module retains its own original Stop Loss and Take Profit base distances. Each new position is submitted with a real Stop Loss and Take Profit stored at the broker. Both levels are visible in MetaTrader 5.

The EA adjusts the TP price to account for recorded trading costs, accumulated swap and estimated closing commission. When swap changes, the EA recalculates and updates the broker-side target.

The latest accepted SL and TP remain active if the terminal disconnects. Further adjustments require the EA to be running and connected. Execution, gaps, rounding and actual closing costs can affect the final net result.

POSITION SIZING YOUR WAY

Choose between three sizing modes:

• Fixed lot: the same selected volume for each trade.
• Equity risk: volume calculated from current equity and the module’s stop distance.
• Fixed money risk: volume calculated from a chosen monetary risk amount.

Control portfolio exposure with maximum active modules, maximum trades per currency, maximum combined lots and estimated stop-risk limits.

The currency limit works across pairs: EURUSD and USDJPY both count toward USD exposure. A zero exposure-limit value means unlimited.

PROP FIRM RISK CONTROLS

FOUNDATION includes configurable daily, total and trailing equity-loss protection, a profit target, an emergency stop, spread filters and a losing-streak pause.

Additional options include:

• News-event entry pauses using the live economic calendar.
• Friday closing and weekend entry protection.
• Rollover entry filtering.
• Random entry delay with a configurable maximum of 300 seconds.
• Optional proportional TP/SL distance variation of up to 5%.

The delay applies after signal recognition; execution requires an eligible tick and approval from the enabled entry controls. News-calendar filtering is intended for live operation and is not supported in Strategy Tester.

These optional controls can support a prop-firm trading setup when configured for the provider’s rules. They do not guarantee compliance or a successful challenge; loss calculations, news restrictions and holding rules differ between providers.

OBSIDIAN DASHBOARD

A lavender and obsidian dashboard brings account equity, free margin, open profit/loss, module activity and open trades onto your chart.

Adjust the panel’s position, scale and colours, or enable the matching chart theme.

GETTING STARTED

1. Use MetaTrader 5 with a hedging account.
2. Make the required Forex symbols available in Market Watch.
3. Attach one instance of FOUNDATION to a liquid Forex chart, such as EURUSD M1.
4. Review position sizing, module switches, exposure limits and optional protections.
5. Enable Algo Trading and keep the terminal or VPS connected.

Broker symbol prefixes and suffixes can be configured in Inputs. No external indicators or DLL imports are required.

TESTING AND RISK

Historical testing, including out-of-sample testing, does not guarantee future performance. Statistics from the previous 30-module portfolio do not describe this new 32-module release. Results depend on the EA revision, settings, broker data, trading costs and execution conditions. Risk-based sizing does not eliminate losses, and trading can result in loss of capital.
