Size before entry
Default nominal risk: 0.25% per order, capped at 0.1 lots. Stops default to twice ATR with a 2:1 target distance. Spread and margin filters can prevent entry.
VCM / BOT LAB / DEMO RESEARCH RELEASES
Five workflows.
A clearer path to testing.
MT5 prototypes for the five existing VCM packages, plus our separate cTrader Trend Guard bot. Read how each works, agree your purchase with customer care, and download only after payment is verified. Evaluate the release on a dedicated broker demo.
Demo-only research · no verified profitability · not the completed paid deliverables · no account connected to VCM.
YOUR EXISTING VCM PACKAGES
Choose your MT5 prototype
Each file has a distinct decision workflow and shared execution safeguards. All five currently support EUR/USD H1 only, including broker symbol suffixes. Full paid scopes require written agreement and further development.
| VCM package | Implemented prototype | Current limits | Paid access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | Session breakout Build the 00:00–06:59 UTC range from seven completed H1 bars. Enter on a closed-bar crossing beyond that range. MT5 compilation passed · broker performance untested | One EUR/USD workflow. Gold is not enabled. | Purchase Core access → |
| Plus | Trend + pullback Use 50/200 EMA alignment, a pullback to the faster average and a close beyond the previous bar to qualify an entry. MT5 compilation passed · broker performance untested | One EUR/USD workflow. Trailing stops and two-instrument coverage are not included. | Purchase Plus access → |
| Custom | Configurable strategy template Configure breakout lookback, trend period, ATR stop multiple, reward multiple, entry hours and allowed directions. MT5 compilation passed · broker performance untested | A configurable template, not a completed bespoke commission. Original client rules still need implementation. | Purchase Custom access → |
| Advanced | Trend / range filters ADX 25+ enables trend breakouts. ADX below 20 enables RSI recovery/reversal entries. The transition band stays out. MT5 compilation passed · broker performance untested | One EUR/USD prototype. Four-instrument coordination and validated regime detection are not delivered. | Purchase Advanced access → |
| Signature | Shared-control workflows Select session breakouts at ADX 25+, trend pullbacks at ADX 20–25, or RSI recovery/reversal below 20, using shared order and risk controls. MT5 compilation passed · broker performance untested | One-account, one-symbol prototype. Cross-platform orchestration, multiple accounts and bespoke reporting remain separate work. | Purchase Signature access → |
Bot files are protected. Sign in, request a bot and contact VCM in the website customer-care chat, email or Telegram. Only VCM’s verified owner account can record confirmed payment and unlock that bot for your VCM email. Source-code rights, full deliverables and pricing must be agreed separately.
One EA at a time
At most three order submissions per day. No new position alongside existing account exposure. Use one EA on a dedicated demo account, not all five together.
Pause and review
Default 2% daily equity-loss pause and 8% peak-drawdown halt request closure of the EA’s positions. Gaps, failed exits and disconnections can cause larger losses.
Install without copying code
METATRADER 5 / DESKTOP
MT5 setup, step by step
- After customer care verifies payment, download your approved .ex5 from Bot Purchase & Access. Open MT5 desktop and sign in to a dedicated broker demo account.
- Choose File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Experts. Create a VCM folder and put the chosen .ex5 file inside it.
- In Navigator, right-click Expert Advisors and select Refresh. Open an EUR/USD H1 chart and drag the selected VCM EA onto it.
- Keep EnableDemoEntries = false during setup. Set BrokerUtcOffsetHours to your broker’s server UTC offset; confirm it with the broker and update it for daylight-saving changes.
- Open View → Strategy Tester. Select the EA, EUR/USD and H1. For the historical test, set EnableDemoEntries to true, choose a period and suitable broker tick data, and review costs and results.
- Review an untouched period and losing trades. If you choose to forward-test, enable Algo Trading and the EA’s trading permission on the demo, then set EnableDemoEntries to true. Watch Experts and Journal logs.
- Keep MT5 running and connected. To pause entries, set EnableDemoEntries to false. Removing the EA or disabling Algo Trading does not close positions and prevents active exit retries.
Why is my EA not placing trades?
Check Demo account, EUR/USD H1, EnableDemoEntries and MT5 trading permission. Confirm broker UTC offset and entry hours. A complete range or valid signal, enough history, acceptable spread, sufficient margin and no existing account exposure are required. Saved loss pauses and order errors can block entry. No trade can be the correct decision; do not increase risk to force activity.
CTRADER / SEPARATE TREND GUARD RESEARCH BOT
cTrader setup
This is the existing Trend Guard breakout bot, not a cTrader conversion of all five packages.
- Once payment is verified, download your approved .algo, open it in cTrader and select a dedicated broker demo.
- Add one instance on EUR/USD H1. Leave “Enable demo entries” off during setup.
- Run historical tests before enabling demo entries. Downloading does not start a bot or connect your account to VCM.
MT5 uses its native ATR calculation; cTrader Trend Guard uses exponential ATR. Their results can differ. Test each separately.
Platform compatibility
MT5
Five compiled EUR/USD demo prototypes as .ex5 files. Install and test them in MT5 desktop. Use the mobile app to monitor the broker account while the desktop terminal runs the EA.
cTrader
Standalone Trend Guard .algo available. The five package workflows have not been ported to cTrader.
TradingView
No VCM Pine Script or execution bridge is delivered. TradingView states its strategies cannot directly automate orders through integrated broker accounts.
TradingView’s explanation ↗Other brokers and exchanges
Separate supported APIs, authorisation and execution adapters are required. No single download runs on every platform, and no universal connection is claimed.
Evidence status
All five MT5 prototypes and the standalone MT5 Trend Guard compiled without errors or warnings. Shared decision rules passed synthetic checks; the cTrader bot also compiled. No broker-data backtest, forward-demo performance, win rate or profitability has been established.
These prototypes are narrower than the paid package proposals. Custom requires original client rules; Advanced and Signature need further integration for their broader scopes. No annual return or account-growth target is promised.
MT5 saved state is local to the terminal and keyed to account, server, symbol and profile. It is not a cross-platform risk service. Do not switch profiles, clear storage or create instances to bypass a halt. Trading permission, connectivity and market conditions affect protective exits.
