From download to your first live trade in under 10 minutes. Covers both MT5 and MT4 — follow the section for your platform.
MT5 is free. Download directly from your broker's website or from MetaQuotes. Recommended brokers for TITAN: IC Markets, Pepperstone, FP Markets, Exness — all support hedging mode and Expert Advisors.
After installing, open MT5 and create a demo account first to test before going live. Takes 2 minutes. No deposit required.
After purchase you receive a .zip file with your ready-to-run TITAN .ex5 files — one per pair (5 files for Regular, 5 for PROP version). No compiling needed.
Step 2a: In MT5, click File → Open Data Folder
Step 2b: Navigate to the Experts folder and paste your files:
Step 2c: In the Navigator panel, right-click Expert Advisors → Refresh. Your TITAN EAs now appear in the list.
TITAN runs on exactly these 5 pairs on the H1 (1-hour) timeframe. Open one chart per pair in MT5:
For each chart, drag the matching TITAN EA from the Navigator panel onto the chart (or double-click while that chart is active). A settings dialog appears.
In the Common tab: tick "Allow Algo Trading"
In the Inputs tab: configure your risk settings (see Step 5), then click OK.
Only adjust the inputs listed below. All others are pre-optimised from the 17-month backtest and should not be changed.
| Input | Recommended | Description |
|---|---|---|
| RiskPercent | 0.5% – 1% | Risk per trade as % of balance. Start at 0.5% on live. PROP: always 0.5%. |
| ATR_SL_Mult | 1.5 | ATR multiplier for stop loss. Pre-optimised — do not change. |
| PartialClosePct | 50 | Closes 50% of position at 2R profit. Reduces drawdown significantly. |
| LockTriggerR | 2.0 | Moves stop to breakeven once trade reaches 2R profit. |
| MonsterTrailATR | 3.5 | Trail multiplier for 6R+ winning trades. Leave default. |
| ER_MinValue | 0.20 | Efficiency Ratio filter — blocks choppy/ranging markets. Do not lower. |
| ADX_MinValue | 25.0 | Minimum ADX trend strength required to enter. Do not lower. |
| MaxSpreadPoints | 20 – 30 | Maximum spread in points allowed for entry. Protects against spread spikes. |
| NewsFilterMinutes | 30 | Pauses trading 30 min before/after high-impact news events. Essential for PROP. |
The most commonly missed step. AutoTrading must be enabled at the platform level, not just per-EA.
In the MT5 toolbar: click the "AutoTrading" button. When active it turns green and shows "AutoTrading" text. Also confirm:
Check the Journal tab in MT5's bottom panel. You should see initialization messages:
TITAN only trades when all filters align. On slow/choppy markets it will not trade — this is correct behaviour. Average 8–10 trades per pair per month based on 17-month backtest data.
TITAN is running on all 5 pairs. Expect your first trade within 1–5 trading days depending on market conditions. Check the Journal tab daily to confirm all 5 EAs are active.
Questions? Access Telegram Support →MT4 buyers receive .ex4 compiled files — one per pair. The setup process is nearly identical to MT5 with a few key differences noted below.
MT4 is free. Download directly from your broker's website — search "[broker name] MetaTrader 4 download". Recommended brokers for TITAN MT4: IC Markets, Pepperstone, FP Markets, Exness — all offer MT4 with low spreads and EA support.
After installing, create a demo account first to verify the EA runs correctly before going live. Takes 2 minutes — no deposit required.

Step 2a: In MT4, click File → Open Data Folder
Step 2b: Navigate to the MQL4 Experts folder and paste your .ex4 files:
Step 2c: In the Navigator panel (Ctrl+N to open), right-click Expert Advisors → Refresh. Your TITAN EAs appear in the list.
MQL4\Experts\ not MQL5\Experts\. Make sure you are in the correct folder.Same 5 pairs as the MT5 version, same H1 timeframe. In MT4: File → New Chart or use the Market Watch panel (Ctrl+M), right-click the pair → Chart Window, then switch timeframe to H1.
Drag the matching TITAN EA from the Navigator panel onto the corresponding chart (or double-click while that chart is active). The EA properties dialog opens.
In the Common tab: tick "Allow live trading" (MT4 wording — same as MT5's "Allow Algo Trading")
In the Inputs tab: enter your LicenseKey first (format: QE-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX from your purchase email), then configure risk settings. Click OK.
Same inputs as the MT5 version. Only adjust the parameters below — all others are pre-optimised from the 17-month backtest.

|---|---|---|
| LicenseKey | QE-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX | Your unique license key from purchase email. Required — EA will not trade without it. |

AutoTrading must be enabled at the platform level. In the MT4 toolbar, click the "AutoTrading" button — it turns green when active. Also confirm:
If the button is grey or shows "AutoTrading disabled", EAs will not trade even if attached correctly. This is the most commonly missed step.
https://getquantumedgeai.com to the allowed URLs list.In MT4, check the Experts tab (bottom panel — not "Journal", that tab is "Experts" in MT4). You should see initialization messages:
PROP version Magic numbers: 50311–50315 (same pairs). If you see "License: invalid" — double-check the key was entered exactly as received, including all dashes.
All 5 TITAN MT4 EAs are live. Expect your first trade within 1–5 trading days. Check the Experts tab daily to confirm all 5 EAs show "License: active".
Questions? Access Telegram Support →TITAN Pro is engineered for prop firm challenges. Below are exact settings per firm — copy them precisely. Do not change any value not listed here.
The FTMO 2-Step Challenge runs a 10% max loss (static, from initial balance) and 5% max daily loss — recalculated at midnight CE(S)T and measured on equity, so floating losses count. Profit target: 10% Phase 1, 5% Phase 2. TITAN's 4% daily hard stop keeps a 1% buffer below the daily limit.
| Input Parameter | FTMO Setting | Why |
|---|---|---|
| RiskPercent | 0.5% | At 0.5% risk, worst 5-loss streak = ~2.5% DD. Well inside FTMO's 5% daily limit. |
| MaxDailyLossPct | 3.5 | Conservative internal cap — EA stops trading before FTMO's 5% wall. |
| MaxOverallDDPct | 6.0 | Hard stop at 6% preserves 4% buffer inside FTMO's 10% overall limit. |
| NewsFilterMinutes | 60 | Block entries 60 min around FOMC/NFP. FTMO penalises news-event losses. |
| UseKillZone | true | London + NY open only. Avoids illiquid overnight sessions. |
| MaxSpreadPoints | 20 | FTMO brokers have tight spreads. 20 pts rejects anomalous widening. |
| UseFridayClose | true | FridayCloseHour = 16. No weekend exposure during challenge. |
| MaxConsecLosses | 3 | Tighten to 3 on challenge (default 5). Prevents revenge-trading sequences. |
FundedNext Stellar 2-Step uses static drawdown: 5% daily and 10% max, both fixed against your initial balance — not trailing. The daily limit resets at 00:00 server time (GMT+2/+3) and is measured on equity, so floating losses count. (The old trailing-drawdown Evaluation/Express models were discontinued in March 2025.)
| Input Parameter | FundedNext Setting | Why |
|---|---|---|
| RiskPercent | 0.5% | Conservative. Daily limit is equity-measured — floating losses count against it. |
| MaxDailyLossPct | 4.0 | Stellar daily limit is 5% (static). EA self-stops at 4% to protect the account. |
| MaxOverallDDPct | 7.0 | Hard internal stop at 7% — 3% inside Stellar's 10% static max loss. |
| PartialClosePct | 50 | Close 50% at 2R. Banking profit early keeps equity clear of both static limits. |
| NewsFilterMinutes | 60 | Same as FTMO — 60 min blackout around major events. |
| MaxConsecLosses | 3 | Stop at 3 consecutive losses during challenge phases. |
E8 Markets lets you configure your drawdown at purchase: daily 3–7% and max 6–14% on E8 Classic (2-step). Choose the 5% daily / 10% max configuration when buying your E8 evaluation — the settings below assume it. EAs are allowed without pre-approval; HFT is banned. MT5 is available for non-US clients with raw spreads + $5/lot commission, and all 5 TITAN pairs are tradeable.
| Input Parameter | E8 Setting | Why |
|---|---|---|
| RiskPercent | 1.0 | Same as FTMO. Safe under a 5%/10% E8 configuration with TITAN's hard stops. |
| MaxDailyLossPct | 4.0 | EA self-stops at 4% — 1% buffer under the 5% daily configuration. |
| MaxOverallDDPct | 8.0 | Hard stop at 8% — 2% buffer inside the 10% max configuration. |
| NewsFilterMinutes | 60 | E8 restricts trading around major news (~2-min window). 60 min clears it with margin. |
| MaxConsecLosses | 3 | Same discipline as FTMO — stop a losing sequence early. |
All three firms track DD in real time. TITAN has internal stops but you are the last line of defence. Check your prop firm dashboard every morning before London open:
If you are within 1% of any DD limit — pause all EAs manually. One unexpected spike can end a challenge in minutes. Capital preservation always beats profit chasing.
