FinCat EA System｜Installation & Enable Guide

Multi-Strategy Engine (AI Methods｜7 Strategies)

• Method 1｜Silent Zone Sniper: Range/box logic with ADX filtering; trades around defined high/low boundaries.
• Method 2｜Accumulative Point Power: Trend momentum logic focusing on breakout “power points”.
• Method 3｜Optimized Breakout: Breakout confirmation using Bollinger Bands + PSAR + RSI.
• Method 4｜Trend Following: Trend-following approach to capture longer directional legs.
• Method 5｜Accumulative Power Bar: Price action model analyzing candle reversal strength.
• Method 6｜Smart Trend Hunter: MACD modes (Aggressive / Standard / Conservative) with ADX-based auto switching.
• Method 7｜SmartCombo: Trap filtering + pullback breakeven protection to reduce false signals in choppy markets.

Risk & Money Management (Close + Investment)

• 3 close modes: Free Mode / SL Mode / Hedge Mode.
• Profit Pullback Protection (Profits Decrease): 8-tier profit-lock. When profit reaches a target, a pullback triggers proportional profit securing and exit.
• Time Exceed Exit: Attempts to exit after exceeding a configured holding time.
• Hedge Logic: In drawdown, opens opposite hedge positions with multipliers to attempt recovery of net P/L.

• Fixed: constant lot size.
• Compound: lot size increases with balance growth.
• Max Floating Loss Lock: when floating loss exceeds a % threshold, the system pauses new entries to protect remaining equity.

Beginner tip: keep lot size and risk conservative first, then optimize after stability is confirmed.

Step 2: Refresh / Restart (Let MT4 Load New Files)

• Navigator panel → right-click → Refresh
• Or simply restart MT4

If you placed files correctly but cannot see the EA in Navigator, it is usually due to no refresh or wrong folder.

Step 3: Attach the EA to a Chart

1. Open a chart (e.g., XAUUSD / EURUSD / BTCUSD)
2. Drag the EA from Navigator onto the chart
3. In the “Common” tab, check Allow live trading

Step 4: Turn on AutoTrading (Required)

Make sure the AutoTrading button on the top toolbar is green.

Step 5: WebRequest Settings (For Membership Verification)

Important: WebRequest is used by FinCat on the MT4 side for membership authorization / validity verification. It is NOT related to TradingView integration.

(A) Indicator Version | Buy / Sell JSON

If you are using an Indicator, you typically create separate “Buy Alert” and “Sell Alert”.

{
  "mem_no": "CA26020002",
  "symbol": "{{ticker}}",
  "action": "buy",
  "price": {{close}},
  "time": "{{timenow}}",
  "remark": "Buy Signal"
}

{
  "mem_no": "CA26020002",
  "symbol": "{{ticker}}",
  "action": "sell",
  "price": {{close}},
  "time": "{{timenow}}",
  "remark": "Sell Signal"
}

(B) Strategy Version | Strategy JSON

Applicable to Pine Script Strategies. When conditions are met and the Alert is triggered, TradingView sends the signal via Webhook to FinCat Bridge, which then executes it on MT4.

{
  "mem_no": "CA26020002",
  "symbol": "{{ticker}}",
  "action": "{{strategy.order.alert_message}}",
  "price": "{{strategy.order.price}}",
  "time": "{{timenow}}",
  "remark": "TV Strategy"
}

Quick Verification (3 Checks)

1. TradingView: Alert shows as triggered (Alerts / Log)
2. FinCat Website (Member Center): “My Signal Records” shows ID / Time / Symbol (TV➔MT4) / Action / Price / Status
3. MT4: Experts / Journal shows no errors and EA responds normally

If TradingView triggered but MT4 did not execute: check Mapping, confirm EA is attached, AutoTrading is enabled, and Bridge/Log received the signal.

Cloud Verification

• The EA periodically connects to verify membership and authorization.
• If verification fails: the system can stop trading to enforce usage rules.
• Admin Message: admins can push messages displayed directly on the user’s chart.

Visual Dashboard

• Manual/Auto switch: one-click Buy / Sell toggles for real-time direction control.
• Status metrics: daily profit, win rate, holding time, and strategy status.
• Visual lines: automatically draws SL / TP / profit-lock lines.
