The EA listens for executed offers on the hooked up MT5 chart image.
-
If filters go and the reproduction cap permits, it routes a market order to the present entrance tradable month of your chosen futures root.

Prop-firm suggestions

Use Micro futures (MES/MNQ/MYM/FDXS/MGC) and set Mirror Qty = 1 till you’re snug.
-
Think about MAX Open Positions = 1–2 to restrict publicity.
Most prop corporations (together with Apex and comparable) implement day by day session guidelines and will drive flat at finish of day or throughout upkeep home windows. To adapt:
