Sprint FX Demo — Experimental MT5 Forex EA

Sprint FX Demo is an experimental multi-currency MT5 expert advisor developed by TradEApro. It trades hourly price re-entry into a range with aggressive sizing: up to 15% of active capital per position including expense reserves. Demo accounts and the strategy tester only.

Very high risk. Maximum individual-account drawdown reached 44.5% in the historical check periods. Additional trading costs turned the aggregate profit negative. Reliable doubling or tripling has not been demonstrated. The program refuses real-money accounts.

Strategy and risk controls

The EA scans EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, USDCAD, EURGBP and EURJPY in that fixed order. These are not eight independent risks: currencies overlap. Only one position may be open across the portfolio. There is no grid, averaging down or martingale.

A completed H1 candle must re-enter Bollinger Bands (20, 2) after the preceding close was outside; ADX(14) must be at or below 20. Entry can occur on the next hourly bar when history and fresh quotes are available within 120 seconds. Missed signals are not chased.

• Initial demo: USD 1,000, hedging account, 1:500 leverage.
• Position risk budget: up to 15% of current active capital including commission, swap and slippage reserves. Margin constraints may reduce volume. This sizing budget does not guarantee a maximum realized loss.
• Native stop loss: 1.5 ATR(20); requested take profit: 1R from entry. Execution and net returns can differ.
• Entry window: 07:00–19:59 broker-server time. From 20:00 the EA attempts to flatten; outages and missing quotes can delay closure.
• Other exits: after 12 H1 bars or an opposite 10-bar channel breakout.
• At active equity of USD 100 or below, entries stop and an exact-owned position close is attempted. This software rule is not a guaranteed account-level stop.

Historical evidence

The research build ran in MT5 on XM generated ticks, with an independent USD 1,000 initial deposit for each window. The entry policy was selected on 2022–2024 periods and then checked unchanged on three 2025 windows. The 2025 history had been used in other research, so it was not wholly blind market data.

Simulated withdrawals totaled $765.03 and final equity across the three independent accounts was $2,676.49. Maximum individual-account drawdown was 44.535%, not the drawdown of a combined portfolio. No doubling or tripling was observed in these check windows. Two windows had no withdrawals.

A conditional higher-cost calculation produced −$169.45 on the same fills. It adds commission, swap, spread and slippage allowances, without replaying the full trading sequence. Zero explicit native tester fees do not establish zero real trading costs. The archive contains the original reports and the cost-scenario description.

Current demo forward test

Version 4.01 retains the selected entry and exit rules with a separate running-terminal adapter. Its broker and current execution differ from the historical tests. This is a new experiment; its results must not be merged into the backtest.

At 125% of active equity, the EA freezes entries and attempts to close its own position. Once flatness and history are verified, profit above $1,000 is booked to a virtual reserve and excluded from subsequent position sizing. Execution may leave less than $250 to reserve; touching the target does not guarantee a realized 25% gain.

No money is withdrawn from the broker. The standard monitoring chart shows the full demo balance and equity, including the virtual reserve. Do not add the reserve to that chart again. Logs and the heartbeat file separately report active equity and reserved profit. Because reserved funds physically remain as broker collateral, this demo does not exactly reproduce stop-out dynamics after a real withdrawal.

Account-bound, checksummed state is restored on restart. Uncertain execution, foreign trades, top-ups, manual withdrawals or damaged state block new entries. Do not delete state files or run another EA on the account.

Installation and archive

1. Use a separate empty MT5 demo: USD, hedging, $1,000, 1:500. Real-money and contest accounts are unsupported.
2. Copy the SprintFXDemo folder to MQL5/Experts, load the supplied SET and attach one instance to EURUSD H1. It monitors all eight pairs. Enable Algo Trading; no DLL imports or WebRequest are required.
3. The RoboForex SET uses symbols without suffixes. Another demo broker requires a consistent suffix across all eight pairs and a specification check. Results are broker-dependent.
4. Inspect the journal and SprintFXDemo-heartbeat.json in MQL5/Files. The +25% target is virtual reservation, not a real withdrawal instruction.

The package includes EX5, MQ5 source and headers, a full SET, RU/EN instructions, research reports and a demo-research license. The preset starts on 2 November 2026 and ends on 1 February 2027 in broker-server time; an extension requires an explicit configuration change. Signals may be absent for weeks. Copying remains available under the standard TradEApro eligibility rules. Connecting is a voluntary decision with a risk of losing the deposit. The demo-only restriction applies to this EA itself: the separate copying service may execute its signals on a real-money account, so copier sizing and risk require separate assessment.
