Know the EA F1 screen
EA F1 is a semi-automatic trading assistant used on MetaTrader 5 (MT5). You read the market, choose a mode and set your risk; the system helps manage orders according to its settings. Start on Demo, a practice account that does not use real money.

Read structure before signals
Read price from left to right across several swings. A peak is where price rises and starts to fall; a low is where it falls and starts to rise. A pullback moves temporarily against the main direction.

Check everything before START
Read direction → wait for the yellow candle to close → check time and news → check entry and risk → decide whether to START. START begins the selected workflow; you do not have to begin whenever a signal appears.

When to choose Wait
Wait means not starting a new round while conditions are unsuitable or unclear. Waiting is a decision, not a failure. Existing positions still need their own management plan.
Read lesson →
Blue mode: manage the whole round
The blue mode is considered for Sideway conditions. Learn to view all positions of a round together rather than celebrating one winning order while forgetting the rest.
Read lesson →
Green / red modes: total exposure
Green and red modes are considered alongside upward and downward structure. Manage total exposure—the complete size you are holding—not merely the colour of the button or the number of orders.

Plan your profit exit
Decide what will end the round before starting. A profitable display is not yet a realised profit, and a profitable individual order does not tell you the result of the whole basket.

When the trade goes against you
Separate a normal pullback from a change that invalidates the original plan. When structure changes, try to end the round with a small profit or small loss to lock risk; the EA F1 workflow uses STOP to close all.

See the complete money picture
Money management begins with knowing what you can afford to risk and what remains exposed. A withdrawal or one profitable day does not prove the whole system has made money.

Practise decisions before seeing the future
Eight decisions with answers. Read the v1.9.9 chart before revealing the future.
Read lesson →Review before starting a new round
Missing a check? Choose Wait before a new round. If structure changes during an open round, follow the plan: try to finish with a small profit or small loss, use STOP to close all, and verify execution. This does not guarantee a small loss or the closing price.
UTC+00:00 is the course time reference
New York changes between UTC−04:00 (daylight saving) and UTC−05:00 (standard time). Scheduled US releases therefore shift in UTC. Check the actual event date and calendar time. The broker chart clock may use a different offset.
Read the chart and the calendar separately. Convert your local clock from UTC for the event date; do not assume broker time is UTC.
New York · UTC−04:00 / UTC−05:00Check high-impact USD news
Set the economic calendar to UTC+00:00, select the trading date, then find USD events with a red high-impact symbol in the Impact column. Red result numbers alone do not indicate high impact.
Illustrative calendar example · not live news
Example release 12:30 UTC → no new round from 12:25 UTC
Do not start a new round from 5 minutes before the release. After the release, wait until volatility settles, then reassess structure, entry and risk. There is no fixed number of minutes that makes trading safe.

Trading can cause substantial losses, including all allocated funds. Past results do not guarantee future performance. Practise on Demo and define your risk before trading.
EA F1 + Radar v.1.9.21 · Read the screen and new features
Read three things: trend gives direction · Liquidity marks an event to investigate · Smart Hedge manages a running basket when confirmed direction conflicts with existing positions. Gold uses M1 as its main trend; Bitcoin uses M5. Other timeframe trends provide context. A Buy Liquidity label does not replace the main trend.
In this screenshot, Buy Liquidity M5 and M15 appear while M1 and M5 still show Down and START is red. Buy Liquidity does not prove an uptrend reversal. Check structure, closed candles, news and your risk plan together.
Once Hedge takes control, legacy exits—including Dynamic TP, Initial Stop and the money Take Profit—are bypassed. Do not expect those settings to close the basket automatically. Positive total Profit brings a take-profit advisory; Sideway or a state needing reset brings a reset advisory. These messages do not close trades. Use STOP to end the round and close all EA positions, then verify completion. There is no automatic restart.
