Position Sizing

0.10

Minimum lot size per trade. Used as starting size with Auto MM enabled.

0.50

Maximum lot size cap. Safety limit to prevent overexposure regardless of performance.

0.10

Increment size for Auto MM. Higher values = more aggressive compounding.

Auto MM (Money Management) Logic

When Auto MM is enabled, the bot automatically adjusts lot size based on performance:

  • Winning trade → Increase by Lot Step (up to Lot Max)
  • Losing trade → Decrease by Lot Step (down to Lot Min)
// Example progression:
Trade 1: 0.10 lot → Win → 0.20 lot
Trade 2: 0.20 lot → Win → 0.30 lot
Trade 3: 0.30 lot → Loss → 0.20 lot
// Caps at Lot Max (0.50)

Risk Management

Daily Loss Limit

$100

Hard stop for the trading day. When realized + unrealized P&L reaches this negative threshold, all positions close and bot stops.

⚠️ Safety Feature: Prevents emotional revenge trading after bad sessions.

Daily Profit Target

$200

Take profit for the session. When reached, bot closes all positions and stops — locking in gains.

✅ Best Practice: Set at 2-3x your loss limit for positive risk/reward.

TP/SL Configuration

Auto (ATR-adaptive)
|
Manual (Fixed points)

Auto Mode (Recommended)

Dynamically calculates Take Profit and Stop Loss based on Average True Range (ATR) — adapts to current market volatility.

ATR Period: 14 bars
Volatility Multiplier: 1.0x - 2.0x (instrument-based)
Min Distance: Broker stops level

Manual Mode

Fixed point values for TP and SL. Same distance for every trade regardless of market conditions.

2000
2000

💡 Why Auto Mode? Forex pairs might need 50-100 points while Indices need 1000+ points. ATR automatically scales to the instrument's natural volatility, preventing stops that are too tight (whipsawed) or too loose (excessive risk).

🎯 Trading Modes

Three distinct strategies, each optimized for different market conditions and trading styles.

📈 EMA Mode

Classic Trend Following

  • Triple EMA crossover (5/13/21)
  • Momentum confirmation (>0.02%)
  • Best for trending markets
Signal Logic:
Price > EMA5 > EMA13 > EMA21 + Momentum = BUY

📚 AI Learning Phases

1

LEARNING Phase

First 30 samples — AI observes and builds initial dataset. Relies heavily on base EMA signal (50% weight).

0-30 samples Passive collection
2

GROWING Phase

30-60 samples — Ensemble begins voting but with reduced confidence. Balanced weight between AI and traditional signals.

30-60 samples Active training
3

MATURE Phase

60+ samples — Full AI autonomy. Ensemble drives 75% of decision weight. High confidence predictions with multi-timeframe consensus.

🔐 License & Security

Machine Binding

Each license is cryptographically bound to a single machine. This prevents unauthorized sharing and ensures secure access.

Your Machine ID: 06b8f5...ee04
One license = One computer
Hardware fingerprinting (CPU, disk, OS)
12-hour local cache for offline use

Validation Process

1
Local Cache Check

First checks if license was validated within last 12 hours

2
Machine ID Verification

Compares current hardware fingerprint with registered machine

3
Server Validation

POST request to metaquantuniverse.com with encrypted payload

⚠️ Warning: If you see "BOUND_OTHER" error, your license is already active on another machine. Contact support for transfer requests.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

This error means your license key is already registered to a different computer. Each license is bound to one machine's hardware fingerprint. To transfer to a new computer, contact MetaQuantUniverse support with your license key and new Machine ID.

The AI requires approximately 60 labeled samples to reach the Mature phase. In passive learning mode (observing without trading), this takes roughly 2-3 hours of market data. With active trading, it can mature faster (30-40 trades). You'll see the phase indicator in the AI Brain panel change from LEARNING → GROWING → MATURE.

Currently, one license supports one active instance. However, you can switch between instruments without restarting — just change the Instrument field and the AI will adapt using MAML (Meta-Learning). For true multi-chart trading, multiple licenses are required.

The bot has a 12-hour license cache, so brief disconnections won't stop trading. However, real-time data from MT5 is required for signals. If MT5 disconnects, the bot will pause and retry connection every 5 seconds. Open positions remain managed by MT5's server-side stops even if the bot is disconnected.

Check these common causes:

  • Spread exceeds Max Spread setting (try increasing to 50+ for volatile pairs)
  • Insufficient margin (check MT5's margin level)
  • Market closed or trading session restricted
  • Symbol name mismatch (must match MT5 exactly, e.g., "US30" vs "US30.cash")
  • Cool-down period active (wait for timer)

The AI automatically saves to two files in the bot's directory: liqbot_v10_ensemble.pkl (machine learning models) and liqbot_v10_rl_agent.pkl (reinforcement learning agent). Copy these files to backup your AI's "brain." To restore, simply place them back in the bot folder before launching.

Recommendations by experience level:

  • EMA: Best for beginners. Simple, predictable, works well in trending markets (London/NY sessions).
  • HUNT: Best for scalpers. Catches reversals at liquidity zones. Requires understanding of support/resistance.
  • AI Ensemble: Best for advanced users. Self-improving but requires patience during learning phase. Most powerful long-term.
