This information explains the principle enter parameters accessible in Helix Quant Gold and the way they have an effect on buying and selling, cash administration, compounding, and Prop Agency Mode.
Helix Quant Gold is designed primarily for XAUUSD. The total Twin-Core engine operates on the XAUUSD image household, together with dealer suffixes reminiscent of XAUUSDm or XAUUSD.a .
Necessary: Cash Administration Precedence
Earlier than altering lot-size parameters, perceive the next precedence:
1. PropFirmMode = true → Prop Agency danger engine controls lot measurement 2. PropFirmMode = false + EnableCompounding = true → Compounding engine controls lot measurement 3. PropFirmMode = false + EnableCompounding = false → Core A / Core B Cash Administration controls lot measurement
Subsequently, altering parameters reminiscent of CoreAFixedLot or CoreBRiskPercent is not going to management the precise place measurement whereas Prop Agency Mode is enabled.
Core A Settings
| Parameter | Default | Operate |
|---|---|---|
| EnableCoreA | true | Permits or disables Core A. |
| CoreATradeComment | HQG A | Remark hooked up to Core A trades. Usually no want to alter. |
| CoreAMagicNumber | 99999 | Distinctive identifier used to acknowledge Core A positions. |
| LongOnly | false | When enabled, Core A is not going to open SELL trades. |
Altering the Magic Quantity is generally solely crucial when one other EA on the identical account makes use of the identical Magic Quantity.
Core A Cash Administration
These settings are used when Prop Agency Mode and Compounding are each disabled.
| Parameter | Operate |
|---|---|
| CoreALotCalc | Selects the lot calculation technique. |
| CoreAAutoLevel | Selects the automated lot aggressiveness. |
| CoreARiskPercent | Utilized by the LOT_PERCENT lot-scaling technique. |
| CoreAFixedLot | Mounted lot when LOT_FIXED is chosen. |
| CoreALotsPer1000 | Lot increment utilized by Stability-Primarily based mode. |
| CoreABalanceStep | Stability interval utilized by Stability-Primarily based mode. |
Out there Lot Calculation Modes
LOT_AUTOMATIC
Routinely will increase lot measurement in accordance with account steadiness and the chosen Auto Degree.
Out there ranges:
- VERY LOW
- LOW
- LOW-MEDIUM
- MEDIUM
- MEDIUM-HIGH
- HIGH
- VERY HIGH
- EXTREME
Larger ranges produce extra aggressive place sizing.
LOT_FIXED
Makes use of the precise worth entered in:
CoreAFixedLot
Instance:
CoreAFixedLot = 0.10
Core A will request roughly 0.10 lot, topic to dealer quantity restrictions.
LOT_BALANCE
Lot measurement grows proportionally with account steadiness utilizing:
CoreABalanceStep CoreALotsPer1000
LOT_PERCENT
Makes use of CoreARiskPercent as a part of the interior balance-to-lot method.
Necessary: this mode is a lot-scaling method and isn’t the identical because the SL-based financial danger calculation utilized by Prop Agency Mode.
Core B Settings
| Parameter | Default | Operate |
|---|---|---|
| EnableCoreB | true | Permits or disables Core B. |
| CoreBTradeComment | HQG B | Remark hooked up to Core B trades. |
| CoreBMagicNumber | 22222 | Base Magic Quantity utilized by Core B. |
| CoreBAllowBuy | true | Permits Core B BUY trades. |
| CoreBAllowSell | true | Permits Core B SELL trades. |
Core B operates independently from Core A. Each engines might have positions on the similar time when account safety settings allow it.
Core B Cash Administration
| Parameter | Operate |
|---|---|
| CoreBLotCalc | Selects Automated, Mounted, P.c, or Stability-Primarily based sizing. |
| CoreBAutoLevel | Controls aggressiveness in Automated mode. |
| CoreBRiskPercent | Stability-based lot scaling for P.c mode. |
| CoreBFixedLot | Mounted Core B quantity. |
| CoreBLotsPer1000 | Stability-based lot increment. |
| CoreBBalanceStep | Stability interval for lot progress. |
These parameters are bypassed when Compounding or Prop Agency Mode controls place sizing.
Market Filters
| Parameter | Default | Operate |
|---|---|---|
| AvoidNFPDays | true | Prevents new entries on internally outlined NFP dates. |
| AvoidFOMCDays | true | Prevents new entries on internally outlined FOMC dates. |
| AvoidWeekendExposure | true | Prevents new publicity close to the Friday market shut. |
The weekend safety begins round Friday 22:57 dealer/server time.
Helix additionally accommodates inner vacation safety for chosen year-end holidays.
Compounding Settings
These settings management the usual Helix compounding system when:
PropFirmMode = false EnableCompounding = true
| Parameter | Default | Operate |
|---|---|---|
| EnableCompounding | true | Permits the usual Helix compounding engine. |
| CompoundMode | PROFIT_ACCELERATED | Selects Danger-Primarily based or Revenue-Accelerated compounding. |
| CoreACompoundRiskPercent | 4.0 | Core A danger goal in Danger-Primarily based mode. |
| CoreBCompoundRiskPercent | 5.0 | Core B danger goal in Danger-Primarily based mode. |
| CompoundProfitMultiplier | 3.10 | Accelerates accrued revenue in Revenue-Accelerated mode. |
| CoreACompoundBalancePer001 | 150 | Efficient steadiness required per 0.01 lot for Core A. |
| CoreBCompoundBalancePer001 | 200 | Efficient steadiness required per 0.01 lot for Core B. |
Compound Modes
COMPOUND_RISK_BASED
Lot measurement is calculated from the place’s SL distance and the chosen Core danger share.
COMPOUND_PROFIT_ACCELERATED
Revenue above the unique compounding steadiness is multiplied by:
CompoundProfitMultiplier
earlier than figuring out the subsequent lot measurement.
This permits worthwhile account progress to extend buying and selling measurement quicker than typical linear compounding.
Compounding Safety
| Parameter | Operate |
|---|---|
| CompoundUsePerCoreRiskCaps | Permits separate Core A and Core B SL-risk caps. |
| CoreACompoundMaxInitialRiskPercent | Most calculated Core A SL danger. |
| CoreBCompoundMaxInitialRiskPercent | Most calculated Core B SL danger. |
| CompoundMaxInitialRiskPercent | Widespread fallback cap when per-core caps are disabled. |
| CompoundMaxLot | Absolute most lot permitted by the compounding engine. |
| CompoundMaxMarginPercent | Limits how a lot accessible free margin could also be allotted to a brand new commerce. |
Though the parameter names include InitialRisk , the present engine applies these laborious SL-risk caps utilizing the present account steadiness.
Prop Agency Mode
Allow:
PropFirmMode = true
to activate the devoted funded-account danger engine.
When this mode is energetic, it takes precedence over commonplace Core and Compounding lot calculations.
PropFirmInitialBalance
Default: 0
Defines the unique funded or problem account steadiness.
Instance:
$10,000 account → 10000 $50,000 account → 50000 $100,000 account → 100000
When set to 0 , Helix captures the present account steadiness when Prop Agency Mode begins.
For a funded or problem account, getting into the precise authentic account measurement is advisable as a result of a number of drawdown calculations might rely on it.
PropFirmRiskPerTradePercent
Default: 0.50
Defines the fundamental deliberate SL danger per new commerce.
In contrast to the conventional Core RiskPercent parameters, this calculation makes use of the precise entry-to-SL financial loss calculated from the dealer’s image specification.
PropFirmCompoundRisk
true = allow profit-cushion compounding false = hold danger based mostly on preliminary account steadiness
When enabled, accrued account progress can enhance the danger goal.
All daily-loss, maximum-loss, aggregate-risk, and margin guards stay energetic.
PropFirmProfitAcceleration
Default: 30.0
Controls how strongly accrued revenue contributes to compounded danger.
It does not merely multiply each commerce danger by 30.
Conceptually:
Preliminary Stability + Amassed Revenue × Acceleration
is used to create an accelerated danger base.
The consequence continues to be restricted by the Prop Agency safety limits.
Day by day Loss Safety
PropFirmDailyLossLimitPercent
Enter the precise daily-loss rule of the account.
Instance:
Prop Agency Day by day Loss = 5% → Enter 5.0
Don’t cut back this worth manually to create a security margin. Use PropFirmSafetyBufferPercent for that function.
PropFirmDailyLossMode
Two calculation strategies can be found.
INITIAL_BALANCE_AMOUNT
Day by day loss allowance is calculated from the unique account measurement.
Instance:
Preliminary Stability = $100,000 Day by day Restrict = 5% Day by day allowance = $5,000
This mode is appropriate for prop-firm guidelines the place the daily-loss quantity stays tied to the preliminary account steadiness.
DAILY_START_BALANCE_PERCENT
The daily-loss share is calculated from the steadiness firstly of the buying and selling day.
Select the strategy that matches the precise rule of your prop agency.
Most Loss Safety
PropFirmMaxLossLimitPercent
Enter the agency’s total maximum-loss share.
Instance:
Most Loss = 10% → Enter 10.0
PropFirmMaxLossMode
Helix helps three buildings.
STATIC_INITIAL_BALANCE
The utmost-loss flooring stays based mostly on the unique account steadiness.
Appropriate for prop-firm accounts utilizing static total drawdown.
TRAILING_PEAK_BALANCE
The utmost-loss reference follows the very best account steadiness reached.
TRAILING_PEAK_EQUITY
The utmost-loss reference follows the very best account fairness reached.
All the time choose the mode that matches the particular guidelines of your prop-firm account.
PropFirmSafetyBufferPercent
Default: 0.25
Provides an inner security distance earlier than the configured drawdown restrict.
Instance:
Day by day Loss Restrict = 5.00% Security Buffer = 0.25% Helix safety threshold ≈ 4.75%
For a ten% maximum-loss rule:
Efficient safety threshold ≈ 9.75%
This supplies extra room for unfold, slippage, fee, and execution variations.
Adaptive Day by day-Room Danger Controls
PropFirmMaxRiskCurrentDailyRoomPct
Default: 80
Defines the utmost portion of the remaining present daily-loss room that one new commerce might eat.
Instance:
Present Day by day Room = $500 Setting = 80% Most new deliberate SL danger = $400
As intraday earnings enhance the each day room, the permitted danger can even enhance.
PropFirmMaxAggregateDailyRoomPct
Default: 90
Limits the mixed deliberate SL danger of all energetic Helix positions.
Instance:
Present Day by day Room = $500 Combination Restrict = 90% Complete Helix deliberate danger ≤ $450
Present positions are included.
If a trailing cease strikes past breakeven and the place now not has remaining draw back danger, that danger funds can turn out to be accessible once more.
PropFirmDailyProfitLockPercent
Default: 0
Elective each day revenue safety.
A price of 0 means the characteristic is disabled.
When a constructive share is configured and the each day revenue goal is reached, Helix locks new buying and selling for that buying and selling day and closes managed positions.
Instance:
PropFirmDailyProfitLockPercent = 2.0
This implies the each day profit-lock goal is roughly 2% above the day’s beginning steadiness.
PropFirmMaxOpenPositions
Default: 2
Defines what number of Helix-managed positions might stay open concurrently.
The default worth of two permits:
1 Core A place + 1 Core B place
when each engines have legitimate alternatives.
Use 1 for a extra conservative account configuration.
A price of 0 disables this position-count restriction.
PropFirmMaxMarginPercent
Default: 20
Restricts the margin allotted to a brand new place.
Helix calculates the anticipated margin requirement earlier than the order is opened and reduces the lot measurement when crucial.
The present implementation applies this share in opposition to accessible free margin.
PropFirmDailyResetHour / PropFirmDailyResetMinute
Defines the start of a brand new Prop Agency buying and selling day utilizing dealer/server time.
Default:
Hour = 0 Minute = 0
which suggests:
00:00 dealer server time
Customers ought to convert their prop agency’s official each day reset time into the dealer’s server time when crucial.
At first of a brand new buying and selling day:
- Day by day-loss state is recalculated.
- Day by day lock is cleared.
- Day by day revenue lock is cleared.
The general maximum-loss safety doesn’t reset just because a brand new day begins.

true = present Helix dashboard false = cover dashboard
This parameter solely controls the on-chart data panel and doesn’t change the buying and selling technique.
Beneficial Customary Setup
For regular Helix operation:
EnableCoreA = true EnableCoreB = true EnableCompounding = true CompoundMode = PROFIT_ACCELERATED PropFirmMode = false
Beneficial Prop Agency Setup
EnableCoreA = true EnableCoreB = true PropFirmMode = true PropFirmInitialBalance = Your Unique Account Dimension PropFirmRiskPerTradePercent = 0.50 PropFirmCompoundRisk = true PropFirmProfitAcceleration = 30.0 PropFirmDailyLossLimitPercent = Your Prop Agency Rule PropFirmMaxLossLimitPercent = Your Prop Agency Rule PropFirmMaxRiskCurrentDailyRoomPct = 80.0 PropFirmMaxAggregateDailyRoomPct = 90.0 PropFirmSafetyBufferPercent = 0.25 PropFirmMaxOpenPositions = 2 PropFirmMaxMarginPercent = 20.0
Necessary: Don’t copy one other dealer’s Day by day Loss or Most Loss settings. All the time use the foundations relevant to your personal prop-firm account sort.
Ultimate Notes
Most customers don’t want to change each parameter. The default settings are meant to offer a usable baseline.
For regular accounts, essentially the most related controls are Compounding and the chosen danger degree.
For funded or analysis accounts, a very powerful controls are:
- Preliminary Stability
- Day by day Loss Restrict
- Most Loss Restrict
- Day by day Loss Mode
- Most Loss Mode
- Day by day Reset Time
- Security Buffer
