SomaOil is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades WTI crude oil only. Rather than relying on one tuned setup, it bundles 20 breakout strategies into a single EA, so one chart handles a whole portfolio of separate rule sets.
Each strategy watches for a breakout of recent swing highs and lows on its own timeframe. The strategies share one execution engine but act independently. Every one has its own magic number, order comment, swing-detection settings, exit rules, news-distance filter and lot step. Because they react to different timeframes and breakout widths, they tend to become active in different market conditions.
Optimisation was run with Friday closure enabled, so the tuned behaviour does not depend on weekend gaps. Check the inputs for the matching closure setting and leave it enabled if you want to stay consistent with that approach.
Each strategy uses an eight-digit magic number that encodes the EA family, optimisation range, swing timeframe, breakout breadth, optimisation target and set number. This lets you see in the terminal which strategy opened a given trade and review them one by one.
The EA is built for WTI crude oil, normally XTIUSD. Attach it to one chart of that symbol. The strategies read their own swing timeframes internally, so you do not need separate charts for H1, H4 or D1. Make sure the symbol name on your broker maps correctly and that trading is enabled for it.
The inputs below are the main ones to review. Open the Inputs tab and read the full list, since exact names and defaults can differ.
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| SomaOilPortfolio | Selects one of four lot-allocation presets: conservative (default), medium, high risk, or an older balance-based set |
| ManualBalanceForLotSizing | Fixes the balance used for lot sizing so results can be compared across accounts |
| LotPerBalance_step | Per-strategy lot step, set by the chosen preset |
All four presets run the same 20 strategies. Only the lot sizes change. Strategies that tend to draw down together receive smaller allocations. Check the minimum lot, lot step and margin requirement on your broker before choosing a preset, and do not assume a particular minimum deposit.
Several strategies can open positions at the same time, so total exposure can rise quickly when oil moves sharply. Oil is volatile and can gap on news or at session opens. Spreads and swaps vary by broker.
Trading carries risk, and past or tested results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first, start with the most conservative preset and only risk capital you can afford to lose.
For continuous operation, many users run the EA on a VPS so that the terminal stays connected.

No. It is an MT5 expert advisor and will not run on MT4. You need a MetaTrader 5 terminal and an account that offers a WTI crude oil symbol.
It is designed for WTI crude oil, usually shown as XTIUSD. Brokers sometimes add suffixes or use names such as USOIL or WTI, so confirm the symbol on your account. Attach the EA to one chart only, because it runs all of its strategies from that chart.
No. All 20 strategies are handled by a single EA instance on one chart. Each one trades independently and is tagged with its own magic number and comment, so you can tell their orders apart in the Trade and History tabs.
Use the portfolio preset input to pick one of the four lot-allocation sets. The conservative equity-balanced set is the default, and the medium and high-risk sets raise the equity drawdown risk. A fourth, older set based on balance drawdown is kept for comparison. Test any preset on a demo account first and check the lot-sizing inputs against your balance.
Any MT5 broker that offers WTI crude oil and a hedging account type should be suitable in principle. Spreads, swaps, stop levels and trading hours on oil differ between brokers and affect results, so check these and test on a demo account before going live.
No. Trading carries risk, and past or tested results do not predict future ones. Oil can gap and move sharply around news, so only trade with money you can afford to lose.
