Order-basket managers
AutoBot
The original basket manager — the engine behind TraderTool
- MetaTrader 4 v1.6.2 Released
- MetaTrader 5 v2.0.0 In testing
The on-chart board
AutoBot is WinFex's first basket manager and the file TraderTool was branched from. The averaging rules, the shared-TP maths and the five-slot bookkeeping are the same code; TraderTool adds backtest inputs and gets new work first.
What it does
- Manages five baskets at once, split by symbol and direction
- Averages in by a set distance and writes the basket's shared TP
- Account-equity stop loss and drawdown alerts
- On-chart control board with a master on/off switch
How it works
-
Same as TraderTool
The slotting and shared-TP logic is one codebase — read the TraderTool page for the detail.
-
Different inputs
AutoBot has no backtest-entry inputs; TraderTool does.
-
Which one
Starting fresh on MT5? Start with TraderTool. AutoBot is here for existing MT4 users.
Who it suits
- Existing users still on MetaTrader 4
- Anyone who wants the same manager without the tester inputs
What to watch out for
- Needs a hedging account, and its exit routines close every position on the account, exactly as TraderTool's do.
- The MetaTrader 5 build is still in internal testing and is not recommended for live money yet.
