Sydney MT5 is an expert advisor that feeds technical indicator data into an LSTM neural network to decide when to trade. It was trained on GBPUSD and USDJPY and opens one position at a time with a preset stop loss and take profit.

Sydney MT5 is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that combines classic technical indicators with a recurrent neural network. The network uses long short-term memory (LSTM) cells, and it was trained to decide when to open a trade on GBPUSD and USDJPY.
Indicator readings are used as inputs to the network. LSTM cells are built for time series, because they can take both recent and longer-term history into account. During training the network learns which indicator inputs mattered most for later price movement, and the EA then acts on its output when it trades live.
In its standard mode the EA holds at most one open position at a time. Every trade gets a stop loss when it is opened. The take profit can be a fixed distance in pips, or a trailing take profit. With the trailing option, once the original target is reached the EA places a trailing stop that locks in a smaller profit and follows the price from there.
Recovery mode is optional and off by default in the sense that you must choose to use it. When a position is in loss by a set number of pips, the EA can open extra trades at fixed distances, each sized as a percentage of the original lot. These trades pull the average entry price closer to the market, so a smaller move is needed to reach the recovery target. This is an averaging, grid-style approach. It raises the total exposure and can deepen losses if the market keeps moving against you.
The network was trained on GBPUSD and USDJPY, and those are the intended symbols. Other pairs can be tried, but the model has not learned their behaviour, so treat that as an experiment and run it on a demo account. The chart timeframe does not change the way the EA works, so you can attach it to whichever chart you prefer.
The inputs are grouped into trade, general and recovery settings. Exact default values are not listed here, so check them in the input window after attaching the EA.
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Dynamic lot (per 1000 balance) | Scales the lot size with account balance |
| Max lot | Upper limit on lot size; set it to your desired lot for a fixed size |
| Take profit type | Fixed or trailing |
| Take profit, trailing take profit, stop loss | Distances in pips |
| Max spread | No trade is opened if spread exceeds this value in points |
| Magic number, trade comment | Identify trades; use a different magic number for each instance on the same pair |
| Show info panel | Shows or hides the on-chart panel |
| Recovery inputs | Number of trades, start loss, distance, profit target and lot percentage |
The stop loss and one-position rule limit exposure in standard mode, but losing trades will still happen. Position size grows with your balance, so check the lot values against your own risk tolerance before going live. Spreads, slippage and broker execution differ from tester conditions, so compare your own backtests with demo results.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose more than you expected. Past or tested results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and only trade with money you can afford to lose.
A VPS is useful if you want the EA to run continuously. Check your broker's minimum lot, account type and spread conditions before you start, since these affect how the EA behaves.

No. This listing is the MetaTrader 5 build and it needs an MT5 terminal. An MT4 platform cannot load it.
The network was trained on GBPUSD and USDJPY, so those are the natural starting points. You can attach it to other symbols, but the training did not cover them, so test on a demo account first. The timeframe of the chart does not change how the EA works.
In its normal mode it keeps one position open at a time, each with a stop loss. The optional recovery mode opens additional trades to average the entry price of a losing position, which behaves like a grid and increases exposure. Leave it off unless you understand and accept that risk.
Yes. Lot size, take profit type and distance, stop loss, maximum spread, magic number and recovery options are all inputs. The developer's defaults were chosen during testing, so change them one at a time and check the effect on a demo account.
Extract the download, copy the EX5 file into the MQL5/Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder, then restart MT5 or refresh the Navigator. Drag the EA onto a chart and make sure Algo Trading is switched on.
Nobody can promise that. Trading carries risk, and past or tested results do not predict future ones. Check the developer's published statistics yourself and start with a demo account.
