Description

pending orders (0 = off)
Recommended setup

Symbol: WTI crude oil — attach the EA to your broker’s US crude / WTI chart. The same instrument is often listed under different tickers; across our test terminals we have seen: XTIUSD, USOUSD, USOUSD.s, WTI, SpotCrude. SomaOil accepts symbols starting with XTIUSD, USOUSD, USOIL, WTI, SpotCrude, or CRUDE (broker suffixes such as .s or m are fine); if your broker uses another name, open Market Watch and search for WTI, crude, oil, or USO to find the matching chart.
Timeframe: any (the EA reads its own timeframes internally)
Account type: ECN / RAW-spread account is recommended for tight spreads
Minimum recommended balance: 2000 USD for default risk. Calculated lot size cannot fall below 0.01 per trade, so accounts below this level cannot scale risk down further.
VPS: recommended for stable 24/5 execution
