Get one message the moment it launches, with its price.
VWAP Strategy MT5 is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that looks for price zones created by strong, impulsive candles and enters when price returns to them, provided a VWAP-style trend line agrees with the direction. It is a rule-based system: it places the orders itself, and you control the behaviour through its input settings.
The EA works through a fixed sequence on each symbol it scans.
Zones expire after a set number of bars, so old levels do not stay active indefinitely.
The line is a linear weighted moving average of weighted price, used as a proxy for VWAP. It reacts to price and works as a dynamic support or resistance level. It is not a session VWAP calculated from tick volume.
The EA is aimed at liquid instruments: major forex pairs, gold, crypto and stock indices. H1 is the usual working timeframe. H4 gives fewer signals from larger zones, and M30 gives more signals over shorter holds. You can run it on the chart symbol alone or on a custom list, with each symbol scanned independently.
Defaults can differ between builds, so read the values in the Inputs tab before you start. The main groups are:
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Lot mode | Fixed lot, percentage of equity at risk, or compounding |
| Risk percentage and max lot | Sets size per trade and caps position size |
| Stop loss and risk-reward | Fixed points or ATR-based stop, and the take profit ratio |
| VWAP period and ATR period | Control the trend line and volatility measure |
| Impulsive multiplier | How large a candle must be, relative to ATR, to create a zone |
| Max zone age | Number of bars before a zone is dropped |
| Daily limits | Caps on trades, loss, profit or drawdown per day |
| Filters | Trading hours, Friday close, maximum spread, margin check |
| Trade protection | Breakeven and trailing stop with their trigger levels |
Stop and target distances are in points, and a point means something different on gold, crypto and forex pairs. Set them per symbol and do not copy values between instruments without testing.
Start with a small risk per trade and test on a demo account over a meaningful period before using real funds. Consider pausing the EA around major news, when spreads widen and price can jump through zones. Wide spreads also reduce the quality of entries, so use the spread filter.
Trading leveraged products carries a high level of risk and you can lose more than you expect. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

No. This is an MT5 expert advisor and will not load in MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 terminal and a broker that offers MT5 accounts.
No. The EA uses a linear weighted moving average on weighted price as a stand-in for VWAP. It acts as a dynamic trend and support or resistance line, so it will not match a session VWAP drawn by a volume-based indicator.
The tool is built for liquid instruments such as major forex pairs, gold, crypto and indices. H1 is the usual starting point, H4 produces fewer signals, and M30 produces more. Stop distances differ a lot between symbols, so adjust them for each one and test before going live.
This depends on your broker, account type, symbol and the lot size resulting from your risk setting. Check contract sizes and margin requirements with your broker, and test on a demo account first.
Copy the expert file into the Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder, MQL5 in your terminal, then restart MT5 or refresh the Navigator. Drag the EA onto a chart and make sure Algo Trading is switched on in the toolbar and in the EA's properties.
Yes. The EA can work on the chart symbol only or on a custom list of symbols, scanning each one independently. Check that every symbol in the list is visible in Market Watch and that your lot and daily limits suit running several at once.
