Markets aren’t static—volatility shifts, spreads stretch, and yesterday’s setup stops working. TPC Bot EA v3.2 for MT5 is designed for that reality. It blends adaptive, volatility-aware entries with strict money management so you can trade the most liquid symbols on MetaTrader 5 without martingale drama. If you’ve been searching for a rules-driven Expert Advisor that’s prop-firm friendly and VPS-ready, this guide will get you from download to a safe first run—demo first → validate → go small live.


What Is TPC Bot EA v3.2 (MT5)?


TPC Bot EA v3.2 is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor engineered for intraday and short swing trading on major FX pairs and XAUUSD. It uses momentum confirmation plus volatility normalization (ATR-aware logic) to seek higher-quality entries and then manages trades with hard SL/TP, break-even, and trailing. Execution is safeguarded by a spread/slippage filter, and account-level risk is controlled by daily loss caps and an equity protector.



  • Best Symbols: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, XAUUSD (Gold)

  • Timeframes: M5–M15 for active trading; M30–H1 for calmer intraday

  • Account Types: ECN/Raw with tight spreads and fast fills

  • Approach: Linear risk (no martingale, no unlimited grid)


Key Features



  1. Adaptive Entry Engine: Confirms impulse with structure so you’re not just chasing candles.

  2. No Martingale / No Unlimited Grid: Each trade stands alone with a hard stop.

  3. ATR-Aware Stops: SL scales with volatility; your risk % stays consistent across regimes.

  4. Break-Even & Trailing: Lock risk as price moves in your favor; let winners run with rules.

  5. Spread & Slippage Guard: Skip low-quality fills during spikes or thin sessions.

  6. Session Filters: Trade London/NY overlap or define your own windows.

  7. Daily Loss Cap + Equity Stop: Account-level safety switch for crisis control.

  8. Magic Number Safe: Multi-chart operation without order conflicts.

  9. VPS-Ready: Built for low-latency execution (target <20 ms to broker).


Recommended Environment



  1. Minimum Deposit: $200–$500 to start; scale only on proof

  2. Leverage: 1:200–1:500 (follow your broker/prop rules)

  3. Broker: ECN/Raw, tight spreads, fair commissions, stable crypto/FX liquidity

  4. VPS: Recommended—improves fill quality and stability

  5. Symbols to Start: EURUSD (learn behavior), then XAUUSD once comfortable


Performance Expectations (Straight Talk)



  1. EURUSD M15/M30: Often yields steadier curves with moderate, repeatable gains when risk ≤1% per trade.

  2. XAUUSD M15: Fewer but stronger pushes—keep ATR SL wider and risk 0.5–0.8% to control spikes.


Plan: demo 2–4 weeks across different sessions and news days, then go small live and scale on consistent data. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Quick-Start Settings (Practical Defaults)


Risk & Protection



  • Risk_Percent: 0.50–1.00% per trade (start 0.7% on EURUSD; 0.5–0.7% on XAUUSD)

  • Max_Daily_Loss: 3–5% (EA halts for the day once hit)

  • Equity_Stop: 10–15% overall cap


Filters



  • Max_Spread: ≤15 points (EURUSD), ≤40–50 (XAUUSD) — calibrate to your broker

  • Max_Slippage: 2–5 (lower if you have great execution)

  • Trade_Sessions: true; use London + NY overlap

  • If no automated news filter, block 15–30 mins around CPI/FOMC/NFP via time windows


Stops & Exits



  • SL_Mode: ATR (recommended for regime changes)

  • ATR_Mult: 1.6–2.0 (EURUSD), 2.1–2.5 (XAUUSD)

  • TP_R_Multiple: 1.3–1.7R (avoid greed; aim repeatability)

  • BreakEven_Trigger: +0.8–1.0R | BreakEven_Offset: 2–4 points (wider on Gold)

  • Trailing_Start: Begin trailing ≥ +1.2R; keep the trail modest to avoid shake-outs


Symbol Profiles (Examples)



  • EURUSD M15: Risk 0.7%, MaxSpread 15, ATR SL 1.8×, TP 1.5R, BE at +1R, trail from +1.2R

  • XAUUSD M15: Risk 0.5–0.7%, MaxSpread 45, ATR SL 2.3×, TP 1.4–1.6R, BE at +1R, slightly looser trail


How TPC Bot v3.2 Thinks (Plain English)



  • Impulse + Structure: It looks for directional conviction (not random spikes), then checks structure so you’re not buying the top or selling the bottom.

  • Volatility-Aware Sizing: ATR-based stops keep risk % steady in quiet vs wild regimes.

  • Protection First: Once price confirms, break-even and trailing reduce downside quickly.

  • Quality Screens: Spread/slippage and session filters avoid the ugliest fills.


Prop-Firm Notes



  • Keep risk ≤1% per trade.

  • Match Max_Daily_Loss to firm rules (or stricter).

  • Use hard SL on every order; no martingale or unlimited grids.

  • Stick to liquid hours; respect any news restrictions.



Troubleshooting & Tips



  • Missed entries? Slightly relax Max_Spread or widen Min Candle Range if your set uses one.

  • Whipsaws? Increase ATR_Mult, trim TP_R_Multiple to 1.3–1.4R, and keep to top sessions.

  • Slippage spikes? Use a low-latency VPS near your broker; avoid thin hours.

  • Drawdown cluster? You likely traded through news or off-hours—tighten session windows.

  • Scaling up? Keep the same risk %; let position size grow with equity.
