R Factor EA is a multi-strategy expert advisor for MetaTrader 4. It combines night scalping and breakout logic across a basket of currency pairs and adjusts how much weight each pair gets according to its recent results.
Instead of relying on one system, the EA runs several strategies in parallel. Some are short-term scalping approaches that operate during the quieter overnight hours, and others look for breakouts from recent price ranges. Each pair acts as its own part of the portfolio.
A portfolio balancing routine, described as inspired by Kelly criterion position sizing, raises the weight of pairs that are doing well in the current period and lowers it for pairs that are doing poorly. The idea is that no single pair or strategy carries the whole account. The trade-off is that shifting weight toward recent winners can increase volatility, so the account may swing more than a fixed-size approach.
The EA is built for forex pairs. The portfolio can include majors, crosses and some exotic symbols, depending on the set you load. The working timeframe is determined by the strategy and the set, so follow the instructions for the set you choose rather than assuming one timeframe suits every pair. Because scalping relies on tight spreads, an account with low spreads and fair commission matters more here than for slower systems.
Exact input names and values depend on the build and the set you load, so check the input tab in MetaTrader before trading. The groups below are the ones to look for.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Strategy switches | Confirm at least one strategy is enabled, as defaults may not trade |
| Pairs | Match symbol names and suffixes to your broker |
| Risk and lot size | Set a risk level that suits your balance and drawdown tolerance |
| Portfolio balancing | Review how much weight can move between pairs |
| News filter | Check that it is on and that the time zone matches your broker |
| Trading hours | Make sure they fit your broker's server time |
A fixed stop loss limits the loss on a single trade but does not remove the risk of slippage, wide spreads or gaps. Several pairs losing at the same time can still produce a significant drawdown. Test on a demo account first, start with a modest risk level, and review the results regularly.
Trading carries risk and you can lose part or all of your capital. Past results, including any signal histories or backtests, do not predict future ones.

No. This listing is for MetaTrader 4 and the expert advisor will not load in MT5. If you trade on MT5 you need a version built for that platform.
Not necessarily. The default inputs may leave all strategies switched off, so the EA may place no trades until you enable the strategies and pairs you want. Check the input tab and any set files or instructions that come with your purchase before running it on a live account.
Short-term strategies are sensitive to spread, commission and execution speed, so a low-spread ECN-style account is usually the better fit. Test on a demo account with your own broker first, and check how its spreads behave during the quiet overnight hours.
The design is a one-chart setup, where a single instance manages the pairs in the portfolio. Make sure the pairs you want are visible in Market Watch and that your broker's symbol names match the ones in the inputs, including any suffix.
The right amount depends on your broker, lot size rules, the number of pairs and the risk level you choose. Check the recommended balance for your chosen set, and keep in mind that a smaller balance leaves less room during a losing period.
You can, but the EA needs MetaTrader 4 to stay open and connected. A VPS is the usual way to avoid interruptions from restarts, power cuts or lost connections.
