Hybrid Masking Instruments and Orders

Instruments & Orders — Parameters Description

Enabled

Activates or deactivates trading for the selected instrument.

✅ Checked — strategy trades this pair.

⬜ Unchecked — trading is disabled for this pair.

Name

The instrument’s symbol (e.g., EURUSD, XAUUSD, etc.) used for order execution and price data collection.

Lot size

Specifies the trading volume per order, if random lots are not enabled.

Example: 0.5 = 0.5 lots per trade.

Lot type – defines how the lot size is determined:

• Fixed – constant volume per order.
• (If supported) Dynamic – volume may depend on balance, risk %, or randomizer.

Decimals

Number of decimal digits used for the symbol’s quotes (e.g., 5 for EURUSD, 3 for USDJPY, 2 for XAUUSD).

Spread SL

If enabled, the Stop Loss value will automatically include the current spread.

Useful for brokers with variable spreads.

S/L (Stop Loss)

Distance from entry price to stop-loss in points.

Example: 65 = 6.5 pips if the broker uses 5-digit pricing.

T/P (Take Profit)

Distance from entry price to take-profit in points.

Min Profit

Minimum profit (in points) that must be reached before closing a trade if other conditions are met.

Pips for Min Profit

Number of pips required to activate profit-protection logic (for partial close or trailing).

Trail distance

Distance (in points) for the trailing stop to follow the price once it moves in profit.

Trail units

Defines whether the trailing distance is measured in Points, Pips, or other units (if supported).

Order Lifetime (minutes)

How long a pending or open order remains valid before it is automatically closed.

Example: 270 = 4.5 hours.

Direction

Defines trade direction

• Buy only
• Sell only
• Both – allows trading in both directions according to trend filters.

Comment

A custom label added to each order (useful for log tracking or identifying strategy instance).

Example: c_EUR... for EURUSD setup.

Fibo% %

The Fibonacci retracement level used to calculate potential pullback entries (for limit orders).

Example: 66 = price will look for retracement near 66% of the previous move.

Loopback period

Defines how many previous bars (candles) are analyzed to identify the last completed trend move before measuring retracement.

Main timeframe

Timeframe used for entry logic (trend + pullback detection).

Example: 5 Minutes.

Fast EMA period / Slow EMA period

Periods for EMA indicators used on the main timeframe:

• Fast EMA – reacts quickly, shows short-term trend.
• Slow EMA – smoother, shows overall direction. Their crossover determines trend direction or pullback start.

High timeframe

A Higher timeframe is used to confirm the main trend direction.

Example: 30 Minutes, 1 Hour, 4 Hours.

High fast MA period / High slow EMA period

EMA or MA periods are used on the higher timeframe for trend confirmation.

Example: if Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA — the trend is considered bullish.

Curr Spread Slow

Displays the current spread (in points) for the “slow” broker or feed.

Useful for comparing latency or spread widening effects.

💡 Tip

To create realistic masking behavior:

• Use different EMAs for each pair.
• Set the Fibo% between 60–70 for believable retracements.
• Adjust Order Lifetime and Trail distance according to volatility (shorter for FX, longer for gold).
