TebotechSignals MT4/MT5 Auto-Execution EA: Complete Setup Guide
TL;DR:
- The TebotechSignals EA automatically executes our SMC signals on your MT4/MT5 account
- No more manual entry — the EA reads signals, calculates position size, places trades, and manages TP/SL
- Includes built-in risk management (1-2% per trade), session filters, and spread protection
- Available for Pro ($5/mo) and VIP ($10/mo) subscribers
- This is the same auto-execution capability Learn2Trade charges $35/mo for — we include it at $5/mo
Why We Built This
Most forex signal providers send a Telegram message and leave you to manually enter trades. By the time you open your platform, calculate lot size, and place the order, price has often moved 10-20 pips.
Learn2Trade solved this with their L2T Indicator — they charge $35/month for auto-execution.
We're including the same capability in our Pro plan at $5/month — 7x cheaper.
Key Takeaways
- The EA polls the TebotechSignals API every 10 seconds for new signals
- It calculates lot size based on your account balance and risk percentage (1-2%)
- It places market orders with SL and TP automatically
- It includes session filters (London/NY), spread protection, and max position limits
- When TP1 is hit, it moves SL to breakeven and optionally closes 50% of the position
- VIP subscribers get the full MQL5 source code; Pro subscribers get the compiled .ex5 file
How the EA Works
Architecture
[TebotechSignals Platform] → [JSON API] → [EA on your MT4/MT5]
Signal created EA fetches EA executes:
(pair, direction, every 10s - Lot size calculation
entry, SL, TP1-3, - Market order placement
risk %, confluence) - SL + TP auto-set
- Position monitoring
- TP1 → breakeven + partial close
Pre-Trade Safety Filters
Before executing any signal, the EA checks:
- Spread filter — Rejects trades when spread exceeds your configured maximum (default: 30 points)
- Session filter — Only trades during London/NY kill zones (configurable per session)
- Max positions — Limits concurrent open trades (default: 5)
- Entry reachability — Checks if current price is still near the signal's entry level
- Duplicate check — Ensures no duplicate trades on the same pair
Position Management
After a trade is placed, the EA manages it automatically:
- TP1 hit → Moves SL to breakeven (entry price) and optionally closes 50% of position
- TP2 monitoring → Continues trailing the stop toward TP2
- TP3 monitoring → Final target — closes remaining position
- SL hit → Position closes at the broker's server level (works even if EA is offline)
