Product overview
Not an indicator. Not a basic EA.
TRDR.PRO is an institutional-style market intelligence and execution platform. It continuously converts live MT5 market data into context, probability, risk validation, execution decisions and managed trade outcomes.
01
Understands context
Combines time, sessions, higher-timeframe bias, structure, liquidity, volatility and price location rather than reacting to a single indicator.
02
Makes one final decision
Dashboard, Trading Operations, risk preview, Telegram and MT5 execution are designed to use the same authoritative BUY, SELL, WAIT or BLOCKED decision.
03
Manages the lifecycle
Executes grouped TP1/TP2/TP3 positions, applies protection rules, records history and reports lifecycle events through the private Telegram channel.

Core principle: MT5 is the source of truth for live account state and broker-confirmed positions. A public setup alert is not the same as a confirmed private VIP trade alert.
Getting started
Go from installation to controlled live operation.
Prepare MT5
Install and log into MetaTrader 5. Enable Algo Trading and confirm the broker’s gold symbol is visible. TRDR.PRO can auto-detect common XAUUSD symbol variants.
Install and start TRDR.PRO
TRDR.PRO Setup.exeRun the official installer, then launch TRDR.PRO from the desktop shortcut or Windows Start Menu. Verify the header displays MT5 CONNECTED and the correct symbol, mode and live quote stream.
Configure risk
Set automation mode, confidence threshold, allowed sessions, maximum positions/groups, daily loss, drawdown and lot sizing before enabling live execution.
Test alerts
Save the bot token and public/private Telegram channel IDs, then use Send Test Alert to verify delivery to both destinations.
Observe first
Run analysis and compare the Dashboard decision with Trading Operations. Confirm risk status, execution route and blockers before the first live order.
Enable full automation
Auto Trading must be enabled and Execution Mode must be Fully Automatic before an approved decision can reach the MT5 order pipeline.
Main dashboard

Market Intelligence
See what price is doing—and where.
- BOS: break of structure supporting continuation.
- CHOCH: change of character suggesting a possible shift.
- FVG: fair value gap or price imbalance.
- Liquidity levels: highs, lows and likely stop pools.
- Premium / Discount: price location within the active range.
- Session overlays: Sydney, Asia/Tokyo, London and New York.
- Reference levels: previous day, week and month highs/lows where available.
- Timeframes: choose the analysis timeframe from the page controls.
- Overlay preset: Clean or other chart presets to control visual density.
Decision Engine
One final decision, with reasons.
Directional evidence supports long execution and risk validation passes.
Directional evidence supports short execution and risk validation passes.
The market idea may be valid, but timing, confirmation or price location is not ready.
A decision exists, but execution is prevented by automation, risk, capacity, news, broker or validation rules.
Evidence
Reasons supporting the decision: higher-timeframe bias, market structure, liquidity sweep, session alignment, location and momentum.
Counter-evidence and invalidation
Reasons for caution and the condition that would make the scenario invalid, such as a candle close beyond a structural level.
Confidence is not permission by itself. A high-confidence BUY or SELL can still be blocked by maximum capacity, daily loss, drawdown, session restrictions, spread, invalid stops, news or MT5 rejection.
Entry profiles
Choose how early the execution engine is willing to act.
Maximum confirmation
Waits for stronger alignment and clearer confirmation. Produces fewer opportunities and may enter later.
- Best for
- Capital preservation, prop rules, cautious live deployment.
- Behavior
- Prefers confirmed structure, aligned bias and cleaner entry quality.
Default institutional profile
Balances confirmation with opportunity. It can use a qualified early entry when evidence is strong but not perfect.
- Best for
- Normal live operation and most users.
- Behavior
- Moderate threshold, measured aggression and standard risk controls.
Condition-aware timing
Adjusts aggressiveness based on trend strength, volatility, liquidity, session behavior and current opportunity cost.
- Best for
- Experienced users and changing market regimes.
- Behavior
- Can act earlier in strong conditions and become cautious in uncertainty.

Trading Operations
The execution command center.
This page combines the final decision, account risk, live exposure and MT5 execution status.
- Floating P/L: current broker-reported result across open positions.
- Today’s P/L: realized closed-deal result for the day.
- Risk Used: estimated loss if current stops are reached.
- Drawdown and Margin: live account pressure indicators.
- Open Groups: grouped TRDR trades; each group can contain TP1, TP2 and TP3 legs.
- Execution Status: READY, BLOCKED, EXECUTING or confirmed state.
- Risk & Execution: entry, SL, volume, estimated loss, percentage risk and stop basis.
Tabs
Open Trade Groups shows grouped strategies; MT5 Positions shows raw broker legs; Pending Orders, Closed Trades and Execution Log show the remaining lifecycle views.
Auto Trading settings
Every execution control, explained.
Enable automatic trading
The master switch. When off, analysis can continue but no automatic live order should be submitted.
Execution mode: Manual / Semi-Automatic / Fully Automatic
Manual: no automatic execution. Semi-Automatic: requires user confirmation. Fully Automatic: approved final decisions can enter the MT5 pipeline without a manual click.
Minimum confidence
The minimum final-decision confidence required for the configured route. Entry-profile logic can apply additional conditions; reaching this number does not override blockers.
Maximum open positions
Limits concurrent broker exposure. In a three-leg setup, one TRDR trade group normally creates three MT5 positions. Confirm whether the displayed build treats the field as raw positions or grouped trades.
Risk per trade
The maximum permitted estimated loss for a new trade, measured against Equity or Balance according to the selected calculation basis.
Maximum total open risk
Caps the combined estimated stop-loss risk of all open exposure.
Risk calculation basis
Equity responds to floating P/L; Balance uses closed-account value. Equity is generally more conservative during drawdown.
Maximum daily loss
Stops new execution when the day’s loss reaches the configured percentage.
Maximum drawdown
Blocks new trades if account drawdown exceeds the permitted limit.
Block around high-impact news
Prevents execution around loaded high-impact events when the news filter is enabled.
Allowed sessions
Choose Sydney, Tokyo, London and/or New York. A setup outside every enabled session is blocked.
Lot sizing
Manual: fixed preferred lot. Automatic risk-based: computes volume from stop distance and allowed risk. Hybrid: uses the preferred lot but caps it at the risk-safe size.
Manual lot
The preferred total or execution volume, depending on the installed build. For the standard 0.03 group, TRDR.PRO uses 0.01 × 3. Validate the preview before live use.
Maximum lot cap
A hard ceiling that automatic and hybrid sizing may not exceed.
Retry rejected orders / Maximum retries
Allows the executor to retry eligible broker rejections using supported filling modes. It should not retry permanent validation failures indefinitely.
Risk Engine
Approval is a separate stage from prediction.
Daily loss, drawdown, open risk, margin and maximum capacity.
Entry, broker-valid volume, stop distance, TP plan, estimated loss and percentage risk.
Session permission, news filter, spread, stale signals and invalidation.
MT5 connection, Algo Trading, symbol visibility, filling mode and order confirmation.
Risk approved does not mean executed. Capacity and automation gates can still block an otherwise approved trade.
Trade Management
Protect the trade after entry.
Automatic trade managementEnables the live management loop.
TP1 / TP2 / TP3 managementUses staged profit targets and configured close allocation.
R targetA multiple of the initial entry-to-stop risk. TP1 at 1R equals one initial-risk unit of favourable movement.
Move SL to break-even after TP1Protects remaining legs after the first target confirms.
BE trigger / offsetDefines when break-even protection starts and how far beyond entry the stop is placed.
Trailing trigger / distanceDefines when the trailing stop activates and how far it remains from price.
Move SL to BEManual immediate protection for the selected position.
Close Partial / Close PositionManual broker actions; use carefully in live mode.
A standard trade group contains three 0.01 positions. Each leg should have one broker-side target: TP1, TP2 or TP3—not three targets on one 0.01 position.
Alerts and Telegram
Public setup awareness. Private confirmed lifecycle.
PUBLIC CHANNEL
→Setup detected
Market watch, waiting for retest, extra confirmation and non-executed setup messages.
TRDR.PRO
→Risk + MT5 confirmation
The platform validates automation, capacity, risk and broker execution.
PRIVATE / VIP
Confirmed lifecycle
Trade opened, TP/SL/manual closure and execution errors after broker confirmation.
Desktop alerts
Displays local application notifications.
Telegram bot token
The BotFather-issued token. Treat it as a secret.
Public channel ID
Destination for setup and watch alerts. Numeric channel IDs normally begin with -100.
Private/VIP channel ID
Destination for confirmed live entries and trade lifecycle results.
Send Test Alert
Tests both destinations and should display the real Telegram API result.
Email alerts
Optional SMTP notification route configured by host, port, username, password, recipient and TLS setting.
Trade Journal & History
An audit trail for every broker leg.
The Journal records trade-group identity, leg, MT5 ticket, symbol, side, volume, entry, exit, P/L, status, source and timestamps.
- Open live positions should appear after broker confirmation.
- Closed deals should reconcile from MT5 history, including closures while the app was offline.
- TP1/TP2/TP3 legs share one trade-group ID.
- Export CSV creates a portable history file.
- MT5 remains the authoritative source for live and closed broker events.
Analytics & Performance
Turn recorded trades into measurable performance.
Reliable analytics depend on successful MT5 history reconciliation and correct grouping. A three-leg trade should generally be evaluated as one strategy group while still retaining leg-level detail.
News & Economic Calendar
Know when event risk can disrupt execution.
- Source: Forex Factory (Free) or Trading Economics where configured.
- Auto refresh: periodically reloads the calendar.
- Impact: All, High Only, or Medium + High.
- Currency: all currencies or USD-only filtering.
- Import CSV: load a supported calendar export.
- Risk banner: summarizes nearby events for XAUUSD.
- Block around high-impact news: controlled from Auto Trading.
Multi-Market
Scan configured symbols and timeframes.
Enter comma-separated symbols and timeframes, then run Scan Markets Now. Results include Symbol, Timeframe, Decision, Confidence, Scenario and any Error.
Example
Symbols: XAUUSD, EURUSD
Timeframes: M15, H1TRDR.PRO is XAUUSD-first. Additional symbols must be validated for broker naming, point value, stop rules and strategy suitability before live automation.
Backtest & Replay
Validate logic before trusting it live.
The replay and strategy-lab tools support historical validation, current MT5 candle snapshots, scenario review and performance export. Use them to compare profiles, thresholds, sessions and management policies without risking a live account.
Replay
Step through historical market sequences and inspect decisions.
Validation
Measure decision quality, execution frequency and strategy behaviour.
Export
Save results for external review and comparison.
Diagnostics
When something fails, make the reason visible.
- MT5 connection and symbol readiness
- Database status
- Runtime health and scheduler
- Execution errors and broker retcodes
- Log level and output destinations
- Crash reports and recovery state
Log level
DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR or CRITICAL. INFO is suitable for normal operation; DEBUG is useful during troubleshooting.
Write logs to console
Displays runtime events in the terminal used to start TRDR.PRO.
Write logs to file
Persists logs for later review.
Refresh diagnostics
Reloads current service and connection health.
Workspace and data reset
Separate configuration from trading history.
Workspace controls
New, Open, Save and Export Runtime Snapshot manage application workspace and layout functions according to the installed build.
Reset Trading Data
Clears journal, analytics, trade groups and runtime caches while preserving automation, risk, Telegram, license and UI settings. For safety, close active MT5 positions before resetting.
Troubleshooting
Common questions and the first place to look.
Interactive diagnostic
Why did TRDR.PRO not trade?
Choose the current state and the Academy will identify the most likely blocker.
Likely outcomeREADY FOR EXECUTION
An executable BUY or SELL may proceed to MT5 confirmation.
Why did the public channel receive a setup but MT5 did not trade?
The public message is pre-execution. Check Trading Operations for blockers: FULL mode, Auto Trading enabled, capacity, confidence, session, daily loss, drawdown, news, margin, spread, stops and broker rejection.
Why was no private Telegram message sent?
The private trade-opened alert is sent only after MT5 confirms a live position. No broker-confirmed position means no confirmed VIP entry alert.
Why does it say maximum positions/groups reached?
Compare the configured limit with both trade-group count and raw MT5 position count. One three-leg trade usually consumes three MT5 positions.
Why does MT5 report Invalid “comment” argument?
The order comment must be a short broker-safe string. Full strategy metadata belongs in the journal, not the MT5 comment.
Why is Today’s P/L zero?
Verify MT5 Account History contains closed deals for the selected day, then inspect history reconciliation and timezone handling. Today’s P/L should sum trading-deal profit, commission, swap and fees while excluding deposits and credits.
Why do Floating P/L values differ between pages?
All live pages should read the same MT5-backed state. A mismatch usually indicates one page is displaying stale database or cached data.
Why does the application show WAIT despite strong confidence?
Confidence and timing are different. Price may be extended, confirmation incomplete, counter-evidence present or the selected entry profile may require a retest.
Why did one leg fail in a three-leg group?
Check the Execution Log and MT5 Journal for invalid volume, invalid stops, filling mode, margin, market closure or broker-specific restrictions. A robust build should roll back incomplete groups.
