V13 is a different engine, not an iteration of the grid. The short list:

1. No grid, no martingale. V12 averaged into losses with a grid and a martingale multiplier. V13 never does. Each cycle starts with one primary trade and every position carries a real stop loss.
2. Trend continuation core. V13 trades with the higher timeframe trend only, and refuses to seed trades against it.
3. Smart entry confirmation. Optional candle, RSI, and pullback-bounce filters stop the bot from buying tops and selling bottoms inside the trend.
4. Pyramiding into strength. Size is added only to trades already in profit (anti-martingale), never to a losing one.
5. Smart Recovery, capped. A controlled reversal that claws back part of a losing trade, hard-limited per day so it can never spiral.
6. Trailing V2 + full daily risk suite. Break-even arming, ATR/points trail, basket peak-trail, daily target lock, daily DD cap, max trades per day, and a hard equity stop.

Yes. V13 uses Magic 3581, V12 used 3580, they don't interfere. You can attach both to the same XAUUSD chart on the same MT5 account to compare side by side before fully migrating.

No. Your existing TITAN ULTIMATE license key works for V13 with no changes. Same key, same activation flow.

V12 setfiles are not compatible with V13. The strategy is different, almost all of the V12 inputs (grid, martingale multiplier, basket TP, hedge) were removed. Use the V13 setfiles we post in the private group, or enable Use_Preset = true and pick a profile.

V13 is a trend continuation system. It reads the higher timeframe trend with a moving average, enters with the market on a confirmed setup, and scales into the position while it is winning. Every entry passes through trend, regime, volatility, session, and optional confirmation filters before opening. It does not trade blindly, and it does not trade against the trend.

No. V13 is anti-martingale. It never adds size to a losing trade and it never averages down. Each cycle is one primary trade with a real stop loss. The only scaling it does is pyramiding, which adds positions in the direction of a move that is already in profit. That is a momentum compounder, the opposite of a martingale.

A grid opens new positions against the move to average a losing entry. V13 does not do this.

Pyramiding adds positions in the same direction once the primary trade is already in profit and the trend still agrees. It compounds a winning push. The pyramids carry their own stops and the whole basket is protected by the peak-trail.

When a primary trade is losing and meets the trigger conditions, Smart Recovery opens a reverse position to claw back part of the loss in the new direction. It is not a martingale, it does not add size to the losing trade. It is hard-capped per day (Recovery_Max_Per_Day) so it can never spiral. Conservative profile keeps it OFF, Balanced and Aggressive turn it ON.

V13 is primarily built for XAUUSD (Gold) and the profiles are calibrated for it. It can attach to major FX pairs, but results are not guaranteed without specific tuning. Stick with Gold for the best results.

With recommended profiles and adequate capital, average drawdown typically ranges between 8% and 20% depending on market conditions and your chosen profile. During extreme moves it can temporarily reach higher. The hard Equity_Stop_Pct closes everything when drawdown from the equity peak hits your threshold, the default is 12% on Balanced, 8% on Conservative, 18% on Aggressive.

All trading carries risk. No robot can guarantee 0% risk of loss. V13 stacks several safety layers:
• Real stop loss on every trade, nothing rides indefinitely
• No martingale, no grid, losses are not compounded
• Equity Stop, closes everything if drawdown from peak exceeds your threshold
• Daily DD cap, closes everything and pauses for the day
• Max Trades Per Day, caps over-trading
• Smart Recovery daily cap, prevents any recovery spiral
• DD-adaptive sizing, shrinks lots as drawdown grows
• Regime, volatility, session, and news filters, keep the bot out of bad conditions

Always use capital you can afford to lose and follow the minimum capital recommendations.

For trading XAUUSD with V13:
• Minimum: $500 (Conservative profile recommended at this size)
• Recommended: $1,000 - $2,000 for comfortable trading on Balanced
• Ideal: $5,000+ to run Aggressive with full pyramiding

On small accounts keep the pyramid lot multiplier at 1.0, because a multiplier below 1.0 on a 0.01 lot would round below the 0.01 broker minimum. The V13 setfiles in the group already handle this.

The Equity Stop watches your equity against its running peak. If drawdown from the peak reaches Equity_Stop_Pct, the bot closes all open positions and stops opening new ones. With Equity_Stop_Resume_Next_Day = true it resumes the next day. It is the last line of defense, keep it ON in production.

No. V13 takes a balance snapshot when it attaches and rebases it at each new day. It never reads trade history to compute the day-start balance, which removes the false "Target Hit" that older versions could show on a fresh deposit. If the account ever reads zero (terminal not synced yet), the panel shows NO ACCOUNT DATA and the bot waits instead of acting on a bad baseline.

Yes. Open positions live on the broker server, so they are never lost during a crash. On restart the bot re-identifies its own trades via Magic 3581 and resumes managing them, trailing, recovery, daily limits, all of it.

1. Download the .ex5 file from the private TFXS Telegram group
2. Open MetaTrader 5 → File → Open Data Folder
3. Navigate to MQL5/Experts/
4. Copy the .ex5 into this folder
5. Restart MT5 or right-click → Refresh in the Navigator
6. Drag the EA onto an XAUUSD chart (M5 or M15 recommended)
7. Enter your license key in the License_Key field
8. Set Use_Preset = true and pick your Risk_Profile, or load a V13 setfile from the group
9. Enable AutoTrading (green button at the top of MT5)

That's it. The bot logs the active profile to the Journal so you can verify what is running.

Recommended timeframes for V13 on XAUUSD: M5 (5 min) or M15 (15 min). The chart timeframe is the one the bot uses for last-candle and pullback confirmation, while trend bias and the regime read use their own higher timeframes regardless. Match your timeframe to the setfile you are running.

Yes, strongly recommended. A VPS keeps MT5 running 24/5 without interruption. If your PC sleeps or loses internet, the bot can't manage open positions.

Our recommendation: Skyline VPS. Built by TFXS for forex traders, MT4 and MT5 pre-installed, auto-restart watchdog, low broker latency, live dashboard. Pricing from €49/mo (Solo) to €199/mo (Studio). TFXS Gold members get 7 days free on the Solo plan, claim at skylinevps.com/signup?gold=1.

2. Click the Inputs tab
3. Click the Load button at the bottom

Results depend on capital, broker, spreads, market conditions, and your chosen profile. We do not promise any fixed returns.

Under normal conditions with recommended settings, members report monthly returns ranging from 20% to 100%+, depending on profile and volatility. Algorithmic trading is a long-term probability game, don't judge performance on a single week.

Normal, it means the filters are working. V13 won't open a primary when:
• The Regime Detector flags an over-extended HTF regime
• Volatility is too low (ATR below the floor)
• A confirmation filter (candle, RSI, pullback) hasn't lined up
• The trend bias is unclear
• A news event is imminent (if the news filter is on)
• A spike or a recent loss cooldown is active
• It's outside the configured session window
• The daily target or daily DD has already locked the day

Fewer high-quality trades beat many mediocre ones.

Common in algorithmic trading. Differences come from data quality, slippage, dynamic spreads, and latency between signal and execution. The backtest is an indicator, not a promise. Use it to validate the logic, and expect variation live. For faster tests, enable Backtest_Mode, it strips the heavy panel so long historical runs complete much quicker.

1. Check your internet connection
2. MT5 → Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
3. Make sure "Allow WebRequests for listed URLs" is checked
4. Add https://tfxs-license.onrender.com to the allowed URLs list
5. Confirm your account is a hedging account on a supported broker
6. Restart MT5 and try again

If the issue persists, the license server may be in a brief cold start. Wait a minute and retry.

No. It means the terminal is not fully connected to a funded account at that moment, the account is reading a zero balance. This is common right after resetting a demo or on a brief disconnect. Check that your Trade tab shows the real balance, re-login if needed, and the bot self-heals automatically once a real balance appears. It deliberately refuses to act on a zero baseline.

Check in this order:
1. AutoTrading button is green at the top of MT5
2. Smiley face appears in the top-right of the chart
3. Experts tab, no red errors
4. License validated in the Journal
5. The dashboard STATUS row, it tells you exactly what is blocking entries (REGIME, DEAD MARKET, OUT OF SESSION, NEWS PAUSE, COOLDOWN, DAILY LIMIT HIT, etc.)
6. Spread isn't above Max_Spread_Points
7. EA properties → Common → Allow Algo Trading is checked

No, that's V13 working correctly. The Regime Detector is pausing new entries because the higher-timeframe ADX is above Regime_ADX_Max (default 28), an over-extended condition. The bot resumes automatically when ADX drops back. To override (not recommended), set Use_Regime_Detector = false or raise Regime_ADX_Max.

Your available margin is insufficient to open a new position. Solutions:
• Lower InitialLot or switch to Conservative profile
• Reduce Max_Lot or your risk percent
• Increase capital
• Check leverage with your broker (1:100 minimum recommended for Gold)

For any questions or issues, contact support on Telegram: @JohnFromTfxs.
Please include:
• Your broker and account type
• Screenshot of the Experts/Journal tab with the error
• The active profile (Conservative / Balanced / Aggressive / Manual)
• Account capital and leverage

John will get back to you as quickly as possible.
