Description
EA LAB / EA #025 / MT5 / THREE-MODEL RESEARCH
Institutional Precision & Liquidity
Inspired by Brad Goh — The Trading Geek
Explore three configurable trading research models built around structure breaks, liquidity sweeps, institutional zones and candle-range behavior: Institutional Precision, SMC Sniper and Candle Range Theory.
Independent EA LAB implementation. Not an official or endorsed Brad Goh product; some quantitative thresholds are EA LAB engineering choices rather than the educator’s published settings.
Strategy modes
01 / Institutional Precision
Structure break, qualified zone, reaction, liquidity sweep and lower-timeframe confirmation.
02 / SMC Sniper
Liquidity rejection in the context of an Order Block, Fair Value Gap and structural displacement.
03 / Candle Range Theory
Sweep outside a reference candle range, reclaim and controlled entry with hard SL.
Historical research configuration
An owner-supplied US100 configuration is available for independent testing: model CRT, Signal H4, Entry M15, fixed target 2.25R, break-even activation 1.5R, 3% risk per position. The supplied historical report is reconciled below; release compilation and runtime checks remain pending.
Risk is calculated using a physical stop and contract-specific sizing. Gaps, spread, commissions and slippage can cause realized losses greater than the planned stop-based risk.
Optimization and testing
Optimize models separately and select Signal Timeframe first. Compare structural pivots, BOS/displacement thresholds, sweep confirmation and then exit RR. Custom Max supports Smooth Equity scoring, with 40 minimum tester trades and a 35% maximum relative equity drawdown qualification threshold by default. These are ranking gates, not live-account loss controls. Validate out-of-sample using real ticks.

Product release and licensing
MetaTrader 5 EA LAB licensed tool, intended for downloadable EX5 distribution, user-chosen SET, English manual and quick start. Strategy Tester mode does not consume online license activations. Demo/live licenses use the EA LAB activation system with two authorized account/server combinations.
Release v1.03: supplied compiled EX5, owner preset, English manual and historical report. Independent terminal activation and exact-source recompilation were not performed during this deployment.

This selected historical test does not verify the other two models or independent out-of-sample performance.
Parameters that matter
Signal / Entry TF: codes 0..5 correspond to M5, M15, M30, H1, H4 and D1. Entry must be strictly lower than Signal. Supplied SET: 4 / 1 = H4 / M15. Invalid TF combinations are rejected on initialization.
Institutional and SMC: confirmed pivots, close-through BOS, minimum impulse body, full-range opposite-candle OB, ATR zone size, optional FVG (forced in SMC), sweep/reclaim and later micro-confirmation. Institutional can skip the first distinct zone visit.
CRT: reference range across completed Signal TF candles, minimum range in ATR, sweep beyond an edge and reclaim, then optional later micro break. This mode does not require BOS, OB or FVG. The supplied range is three H4 candles.
Exits: broker-side SL beyond the recorded sweep plus Entry ATR buffer; fixed RR or valid stored liquidity target with RR fallback. Optional break-even. No martingale, grid, pyramiding or trailing-stop engine.
Execution: risk percent or fixed lot, spread limit, margin/volume/stop checks, own-position block and optional all-symbol-position block, broker-time hours. InpSweepLookback affects history requested, not a separate historical sweep-search signal.
Installation and activation
- Copy the EX5 to MT5 Data Folder → MQL5/Experts; refresh Navigator.
- Attach to the intended broker symbol and load the supplied SET in Inputs.
- Enable Algo Trading. Add https://ea-lab.dev to allowed WebRequest URLs.
- Enter your EA025 key and check LICENSE ACTIVE on demo/live. Tester uses TESTER MODE without online activation.
- Verify broker specifications and costs in testing before using the configuration.

Package and version

Frequently asked questions
Is this an official Brad Goh product?
No. EA LAB independently implements public concepts. Quantitative thresholds and execution are EA LAB engineering choices; no endorsement or collaboration is claimed.
Does the preset change default risk?
The owner preset uses 3% balance risk, CRT H4/M15, 2.25R and break-even at 1.5R. Source defaults differ. Loading the SET overrides defaults; review every value. These settings were preserved unchanged.
How many accounts and does Tester need a key?
The intended EA LAB license covers two account/server combinations. Tester and optimization bypass online licensing. On a demo/live chart, v1.03 requires a valid EA025 key, with 24-hour checks and up to 72 hours cached grace only after a successful check for the same identity.
Why might no order open?
Check closed-bar conditions, setup age, micro-confirmation, key, Algo Trading, WebRequest permissions, spread, symbol positions, hours, margin, lot step and broker stop distance. SCANNING does not promise an entry.
Are these live results?
No. This is a supplied historical MT5 test. No live or independent OOS result is asserted. Results vary with symbol, broker, costs and inputs; gaps can exceed planned risk.
Risk warning: trading leveraged CFDs/futures involves substantial risk. Illustrations and historical configurations are not forecasts or guaranteed results.
