GerFX Crypto Maniac is an MT5 expert advisor for BTCUSD. It looks for a period of consolidation, then trades the breakout from that range in the hope of catching a larger directional move. It is a medium-term system, so it does not trade every day and can hold a position for several days.
The EA watches the M5 chart for a price range that has formed after consolidation and enters when price breaks out of it. Every trade is opened with a stop loss and a take profit. Normally it holds one position per direction at a time. That changes when you run several sets together, because each set trades independently.
Six sets are available, and they can all be active on the same chart. The activeSets parameter takes a list of set numbers. Entering 235, for example, runs only sets 2, 3 and 5. Each set uses its own magic number, which is the baseMagicNumber plus the set number.
The default values are the ones the developer recommends, so review any change carefully before using it on a live account. The main inputs are listed below.
| Parameter | Purpose |
|---|---|
| riskType | Fixed lot size or percentage risk per trade |
| fixedContracts | Lot size used when riskType is fixed |
| percentageRisk | Risk per trade when riskType is percentage |
| useMinimumSizeIfBelow | Uses the broker minimum lot if the calculated size is smaller, which can raise real risk on small balances |
| baseMagicNumber | Starting magic number, increased by the set number |
| activeSets | Which of the six sets are switched on |
| autoGMT | Detects the broker GMT offset automatically; needs WebRequest permission |
| manualGMToffsetWinter and manualGMToffsetSummer | Offsets used when autoGMT is off and in backtests |
| oderComment and addMagicToComment | Custom order comment and an option to append the magic number |
Be aware that with all six sets active, the percentage risk applies to each set and orders can open in both directions at once. Your combined exposure can therefore be much larger than the figure for a single trade.
Stop losses are sent to your broker, but how they are filled depends on the broker. Slippage and gaps can make a loss larger than planned, and a minimum lot size can also change the real risk. Expect losing periods and drawdowns, and test on a demo account first.
Trading carries risk and you can lose money. Past results, including backtests and live records, do not predict future ones. Backtests tuned on historical data are especially unreliable as a guide.

The EA is built for BTCUSD on the M5 chart. Attach it to one chart only. The different sets are handled inside the EA, so you do not need extra charts to run them.
No. This product is an MT5 expert advisor and will not run on MetaTrader 4. Check that your broker offers MT5 and a BTCUSD symbol before you buy.
A hedging account is recommended, because the EA can hold positions in both directions and several sets at the same time. Most brokers offer hedging by default, but confirm this with yours.
Only if you set autoGMT to true. In that case add the addresses fxdata.cc and backup.fxdata.cc under Tools, Options, Expert Advisors, Allow WebRequest for listed URL. If autoGMT is false, you enter the GMT offsets yourself and no web access is needed.
Set manualGMToffsetWinter and manualGMToffsetSummer to the offsets used by your tick data. Many brokers use GMT+2 in US winter and GMT+3 in US summer, but this differs between brokers, so check yours. Backtests are tuned on past data and do not predict future results.
Each active set applies the risk you configure, and the sets can open positions in both directions. With six sets running, total exposure can be several times the single-trade risk. Lower the lot size or percentage, or reduce the active sets, if that is too much for your account.
