FAQs

Does Opal use martingale or grid?

No. Sizing is fixed or risk-percent with equity guards. An optional recovery profile exists but is not martingale and is off by default.

Why round-level logic?

Orders cluster at whole numbers. Opal adapts entries/exits around these psychological prices.

Minimum deposit and leverage?

From about $100 on ECN/RAW. Use broker leverage per your policy; risk-percent controls exposure.

Do I need a VPS?

Yes. Uptime and stable latency improve execution.

Backtest vs live?

Backtests are favorable and informational. Expect live variation due to spread, slippage, and news conditions.

• María S. (prop eval): “Passed phase 1 using low-mid risk. The news filter kept me out of messy CPI prints.”
• Igor P. (forward test): “Three weeks on ECN with VPS. Equity curve steady, no runaway exposure. Recovery profile stayed off as advised.”

Conclusion

Opal EA for MT4 offers a pragmatic EURUSD H1 approach: AI scoring, round-level awareness, and strict risk engineering. Run it on ECN/RAW with a VPS, validate forward, and scale deliberately.
