Tequila Sunrise is an MT4 expert advisor designed for a single instrument, USDMXN. It runs on the 5-minute chart and concentrates on the morning session, when trading volume in this pair tends to pick up. It decides each day whether a trade is worth taking and manages the exit on its own.
The expert advisor builds its view from three inputs: the Stochastic Oscillator, the Force Index and a price action routine that looks at several timeframes. Stochastic readings show whether the pair looks overbought or oversold, the Force Index adds a volume-weighted view of momentum, and the price action check looks at recent candles. If these agree, the expert advisor may open a position inside the allowed time window. If they do not, it can skip the day.
Buy trades are the main focus, but separate sell windows exist, and you can restrict the expert advisor to long-only or short-only trading. Instead of a fixed take profit, it estimates a price target from a retracement of the recent move. It also closes an open trade at a closing hour you define, unless the trend is strongly in the trade's favour. A money-based stop loss is also available.
The inputs below are the ones you will usually review. The exact defaults and sensible values depend on your broker, so check them on a demo account before going live.
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Magic number | Identifier so the expert advisor only manages its own trades |
| Slippage | Maximum allowed slippage in pips |
| Maximum spread | Trades are only opened when the spread is below this limit |
| Scan period | Number of candles reviewed before a decision |
| Buy and sell start and stop times | Trading windows, based on broker server time |
| Closing time | Hour at which open trades are closed; can be disabled |
| Force period | Period of the Force Index |
| Stochastic thresholds | Overbought and oversold levels for buys and sells |
| Lot size and stop loss | Position size and per-trade loss limit |
| Retracement percentage and minimum price change | Control the price target and when it is used |
| Long and short authorised | Restrict trading to one direction |
| Notifications | Alerts for trading events |
The best trading hours can shift over time, so plan to review the time windows and price-change input regularly rather than leaving them untouched.
Trading carries risk, and past results do not predict future ones. USDMXN can have wide spreads and sharp moves, so test on a demo account first and size positions to a loss you can accept.
Because the trading hours follow your broker's server clock, confirm the server time before you set the windows. A VPS is useful, since the expert advisor needs the terminal to stay open during the session.

It is an MT4 expert advisor. It will not load in MetaTrader 5, which uses a different program format.
It is built around the behaviour of USDMXN, and running it on other pairs is discouraged. The timing windows, spread limit and price thresholds are all tuned to that one market, so other pairs would need separate testing and are not what the tool is designed for.
Yes. The start and stop times are read against your broker's server clock, not your local time or your VPS clock. Check the server time shown in the Market Watch window and convert before you enter the hours.
Copy the expert advisor file into the MQL4/Experts folder through File > Open Data Folder in MT4, restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, then drag it onto a USDMXN M5 chart. Make sure algo trading is switched on and that automated trading is allowed in the terminal options.
Review them before trading live. The trading windows, minimum price change, stop loss and lot size depend on your broker and account, and the trading windows may need to be revisited from time to time. Test on a demo account first.
No fixed take profit is used. It works out a retracement-based target and also closes open trades at a set closing hour, with an exception for strong trends in its favour. You can disable the closing hour feature if you prefer.
