Turtle Trading Pro is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that follows the classic turtle approach to trend following: enter when price breaks out of a recent range, size the position by volatility, and let a trailing exit manage the trade.
The EA watches for breakouts of a Donchian channel, which is the highest high and lowest low over a set number of bars. A close beyond the channel can open a trade in the direction of the breakout. Because breakout systems lose often in sideways markets, the EA applies an ATR-based volatility filter so that it trades mainly when price is moving.
Lot size is calculated from the symbol's ATR, often called the N value. When volatility rises the lot size shrinks, and when it falls the size grows, so the amount risked per trade stays broadly consistent across symbols.
Trend systems of this kind usually win less than half of their trades and rely on winners being larger than losers. Expect losing streaks and check the inputs to see how the EA handles adding to positions, as the exact behaviour depends on the settings you choose.
The author recommends H1 or H4 charts and names USDJPY, BTCUSD, XAUUSD and ETHUSD. Gold and crypto can move sharply, so spreads, swap and contract specifications matter. Low-spread or low-commission accounts suit a breakout strategy better than wide-spread ones.
The exact input names and defaults can differ, so open the inputs tab and read each field before trading. Typical areas to review are listed below.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Breakout period | Number of bars used for the channel |
| ATR period and filter | How volatility is measured and the level needed to trade |
| Risk per trade | Percentage or lot method used for sizing |
| Stop and trailing rules | Distances expressed in ATR multiples or points |
| Spread limit | Maximum spread allowed at entry |
| Magic number | Unique value if you run several charts |
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including any backtest, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and only risk money you can afford to lose.
The author suggests about 500 USD per symbol as a reference balance. Treat it as a starting point, and confirm in the Strategy Tester that lot sizes suit your account and broker rules.
Use one chart per symbol, and consider a VPS if you want the EA to run without interruption.

No. This product is built for MetaTrader 5. An MT4 terminal cannot load it, so make sure your broker offers an MT5 account before buying.
The author points to USDJPY, BTCUSD, XAUUSD and ETHUSD on H1 or H4 charts. Symbol names differ between brokers, so check how your broker labels them and test on a demo account before going live.
The author suggests roughly 500 USD per symbol as a reference, but the right amount depends on your broker's contract sizes, leverage and how much risk you accept. Check the lot sizes the EA produces in the Strategy Tester first.
Copy the expert file into the MQL5/Experts folder via File > Open Data Folder, restart MetaTrader 5 or refresh the Navigator, then drag the EA onto one chart. Allow algo trading in the terminal and on the chart's properties.
A VPS is useful because the EA needs the terminal online to manage open trades and trailing stops. It is not mandatory, but a stable connection and uninterrupted power matter.
Treat any backtest as a guide only. Trading carries risk, and past results do not predict future ones. Run your own tests on your broker's data and spreads.
