Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the EA right after purchase?

Yes. The EA file (.ex4/.ex5) becomes available for download from your account page immediately after payment completes.

Does it support MT4 or MT5?

Platform compatibility varies by product. Please check the "Supported Platform" field on each product page. Many EAs support both MT4 and MT5.

Can I try EAs on a demo account?

Most EAs do not support running on demo accounts. To help you decide before purchase, every EA's backtest results are shown in the "Backtest" tab and forward test performance in the "Performance" tab on each product page.

What is the recommended margin or lot size?

Recommended settings are listed for each EA in the "Product Details" section of its product page. Excessive lot sizing can cause catastrophic losses at maximum drawdown.

Can I change my licensed account?

After purchase, go to "Licensed Account Switch" on My Page and enter the MT4/MT5 account number you want to bind. The change applies immediately. You can change once per 24 hours.

Are refunds or returns available?

Due to the nature of digital products, we generally cannot refund or accept returns after the authentication code has been issued. However, if the EA itself has a critical defect that prevents operation and the fault lies with us, we will handle the case individually. Please contact us via the inquiry page.

Do backtest results match live performance?

Backtest results are theoretical values based on historical data, while forward tests reflect live environment performance. Systre publishes forward test data for every EA on its product page so you can verify live performance before purchase. Spread and execution delays typically cause some divergence between backtest and live results.

Entry Condition

A trend-following type that targets the initial breakout on GOLD (XAUUSD) M15.
For a buy (long):
- After the Bollinger Bands (period 20) contract (a squeeze), price closes above the upper band (the initial breakout)
- Short EMA (21) is above long EMA (55), and price is above EMA 200 (uptrend direction)
- ADX (14) is above a threshold, showing trend momentum
- The breakout candle body is large enough (a strong, genuine break)
- The spread is within tolerance
When all of these line up, it enters in the breakout direction. Sells (shorts) use all of the above reversed.
* As a supplement, in low-ADX ranging markets it also makes a restrained counter-trend trade on band touches with RSI extremes (buy only by default).
* Evaluation is on candle close; as a rule only one position is held at a time.

Close Condition

No fixed take-profit; it is designed to let profit run as long as the trend continues. Exits happen through one of the following.
- Initial stop-loss (SL): set automatically at entry at ATR (average range) x 1.5
- Break-even stop: once open profit reaches ATR x 1.0, the stop is raised to around entry so a winning trade cannot turn into a loss
- Trailing stop: chandelier style (ATR x 4.0 from the recent high/low) that follows the trend; when price pulls back from the peak it exits to lock in profit
- Partial take-profit: once open profit reaches ATR x 1.0, about 50% is taken, the rest is trailed
No averaging (adding without cutting losses) at all; every trade carries a stop-loss. The range-assist trades close on small ATR-based TP/SL.

Favorable Market

Markets with a clear trend, especially phases that extend strongly in one direction. It is strongest when price shifts from contraction (a squeeze) to expansion and breaks out, and the longer the trend runs the more the trailing stop extends the profit. In testing, it grew profit substantially during the strong gold uptrend (2023-2026). High-volatility, directional markets suit it best.

Unfavorable Market

Sideways (ranging) and choppy markets are its weakness. Without direction, false breakouts that snap straight back increase, and it tends to take repeated small losses. In extremely low-volatility markets entry opportunities also fall and results stall. In testing, the period when trends were scarce (2020-2023) was roughly flat, and range-leaning months and years can be negative.
