Market Cycles Order Flow is an automated trading system for MetaTrader 5. It looks for trend phases on gold and a small group of yen pairs, and it uses a retail sentiment model alongside several standard indicators to decide when a trend entry is worth taking.
The EA combines two kinds of input. The first is a set of familiar technical indicators, including MACD, a smoothed moving average, RSI, the Traders Dynamic Index and ADX. These help it judge whether the market is in an up or down phase and where within that phase an entry might sit. The second is a model built on retail trader positioning data, which the author says is used to lean against the crowd rather than follow it.
The author describes the logic as a collection of separate strategies running across several symbols and timeframes. The author also states that it does not use grid or martingale methods and does not hold losing trades indefinitely. Check the input list and your own demo results to confirm how positions are sized and closed on your broker.
The inputs you are most likely to change are listed below. Exact names and defaults can differ, so check the input tab after loading the EA.
| Input | Purpose | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Risk percent | Share of account balance risked per trade | Start low on a demo account and review drawdown before raising it |
| TradeXAUJPY | Turns the XAUJPY system on or off | Set to false if your broker does not list the pair |
| ValidationOnly | Switches the EA between validation and live trading | Set to false for backtests and for live trading |
The EA places real trades, and drawdowns are part of any trend strategy. Higher risk percentages enlarge both gains and losses. The author notes that losing periods occur, so size your risk to an amount you can tolerate.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, whether from backtests or live accounts, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account before using real funds.
For backtesting, use the Strategy Tester on the same USDJPY M5 setup with good quality tick data. Results vary between brokers because of spreads, symbol specifications and data quality.

Attach it to a single USDJPY M5 chart. The EA reads and trades the other supported symbols from that one instance, so you should not open further copies on the other pairs. Make sure every supported symbol is visible in Market Watch first.
No. The author states that a hedging account is required. Check your account type with your broker before buying, because netting accounts handle multiple positions differently.
Set the TradeXAUJPY input to false so the EA skips that pair. The remaining symbols should still be available as long as your broker lists them under names the EA can recognise. Check for symbol suffixes or prefixes on your server.
Yes. The EA relies on a companion indicator that the author supplies separately. It must be placed in the MQL5 Indicators folder before you run a backtest or attach the EA to a live chart. Check the product page for how to obtain it.
The author recommends a broker with standard New York close server time, usually GMT+2 in winter and GMT+3 in summer. Other time settings may change how the EA sees daily bars, so test on a demo account first.
No. This is an MT5 product and will not run on MetaTrader 4. If you need an MT4 tool, look for a separate MT4 listing.
