Ducat is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that follows trends across a small portfolio of instruments. It is attached to one chart, yet it manages each symbol separately, opening positions only in the direction of the current move and closing out when that move fades.
The core idea is simple: join an existing trend, build the position in measured steps, and leave when the trend ends. Rather than entering against the market, Ducat looks for momentum in the instrument it is watching and adds to the position in a controlled grid sequence while that momentum continues.
Each cycle has a maximum number of steps. Once that limit is reached, a hard stop closes the basket and the cycle resets. An account-level drawdown limit is also available as an option, and it can keep its baseline when the EA is restarted so the threshold does not quietly move between sessions.
When price becomes erratic, for example around major news, the filter pauses trading. The pause is designed to persist through EA restarts and chart reloads, so it is not bypassed by accident.
This optional feature checks open baskets as each symbol approaches the end of its trading day. If a basket is in net profit, it can be closed before overnight swap is charged. USDJPY is excluded automatically.
Index and gold symbol names differ between brokers, so check how your broker names each instrument.
The exact input names and defaults can differ between builds, so open the inputs tab and read each one before going live. The areas below are the ones to review.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Symbol names | Each must match the Market Watch name exactly, including any suffix |
| Symbol slots | Which instruments are enabled, and whether you want XAUUSD or USDCHF on |
| Lot sizing | Default sizing against your balance, or a supplied set file |
| Hard stop and drawdown limit | Whether they are on and how much room your account gives them |
| Swap avoidance | Optional, switch on or off to suit your account |
| Base magic number | Use a unique value to avoid clashes with other EAs |
Grid-style accumulation can build large exposure during a strong adverse move, and the hard stop only limits that after the fact. Drawdown depends on balance, lot size and market conditions, so allow enough room in the account for it. If you use the hard stop, leave enough balance for the drawdown you might see before it triggers.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including any live signal or backtest, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first.
Check the panel on the chart to confirm each symbol is active, and run a demo account first to see how it behaves with your broker's spreads and symbol specifications.

No. Ducat is written for MetaTrader 5 only. It needs an MT5 terminal and an account type that supports the symbols you want to trade.
Any chart and any timeframe. The EA manages its listed symbols from a single attachment, so the chart you pick does not decide which instruments it trades. Make sure each symbol is visible in Market Watch first.
The most common cause is a symbol name mismatch. Brokers often add suffixes or use different names for indices, for example for the S&P 500 or the DAX. Open the EA inputs and make each symbol name match the Market Watch name exactly, and confirm the instrument is tradable on your account.
XAUUSD has a slot in the EA, but it is switched off by default, as is USDCHF. You can enable either one in the inputs. Test any change on a demo account before using it live, because it changes the overall risk profile.
Set a unique base magic number in the inputs. Ducat uses it to identify its own orders, so a distinct value keeps it separate from other EAs running on the same account.
Position sizing depends on your balance and the lot settings you choose. Smaller balances carry a higher relative drawdown with default sizing, so read the product's sizing guidance and any supplied set files, and test on a demo account. Trading carries risk and past results do not predict future ones.
