Private EA V1.1
vs Private EA V3.16
Compare the documented grid, basket, trim, threshold, and exposure inputs before choosing a version.
Which Private EA version should I evaluate?
- What is the practical difference?
- V1.1 describes grid spacing and basket handling. V3.16 adds exposure locks, trim controls, and coordinated basket-close settings. Confirm the exact parameters in the version supplied to you.
- Does V3 establish better returns than V1?
- No comparison of features establishes a performance advantage. Evaluate the versions under comparable conditions and include costs, drawdowns, full trade history, and account settings.
V1 Positioning
- Lists fewer basket-management inputs than V3.16.
- Uses configured grid spacing, lot progression, and separate buy and sell basket tracking.
- Still requires MT5 setup knowledge, exposure review, logging, and demo testing.
V3 Positioning
- Additional trim settings, exposure locks, and basket-management controls.
- Review lot progression and addition controls together when evaluating exposure.
- Requires an MT5 hedging account under the documented setup; additional controls add configuration decisions and do not establish better returns.

Detailed Analysis of Themes
Additional Exposure Controls
V3 adds inputs that can throttle new positions when configured lot thresholds or basket states are reached. These controls do not remove existing exposure or guarantee a recovery.
Additional Recovery-Related Inputs
V3 lists AggRec, pullback, trim, and release inputs that are not listed for V1. Confirm their exact behavior in the supplied build and test adverse scenarios on demo.
Technical Feature Expansion
Adds condition-based trim, basket-close, and exposure-lock inputs to the V1 workflow.
Operational Resilience & Tick-Level Data
Uses tick-level inputs for the configured decision workflow. Broker latency and fills still vary.
Account-Specific Positioning
V3 describes examples for standard and cent accounts. Contract sizes, margin requirements and exposure differ by broker.
Lot Progression & Risk Limits
Review configured lot progression, multipliers and repetitions together. Additions can increase exposure and losses.
Parameter Evolution.
Compare the input groups listed for each version. Confirm exact names, defaults, and actions in the build supplied to you.
| Parameter Group | V1 Status | V3 Status | Documented Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| AggRec / AggPct | Not Listed | Listed for V3 | Configures AggRec behavior. Confirm triggers, sizing, and maximum exposure in the supplied build. |
| TrimPct / TrimAnyTP | Not Listed | Listed for V3 | Applies documented trim conditions; test which positions can be affected. |
| NetBuf / NetClose | Not Listed | Listed for V3 | Coordinates basket closure using a configured net target. |
| AddLock (Danger) | Not Listed | Listed for V3 | Blocks fresh additions on a side after the configured condition is reached. |
| AdvMode / AdvLevel | Not Listed | Listed for V3 | Changes the active management state when its configured condition is reached. |
| MagicNumber | Buy / Sell IDs | Buy / Sell IDs | Both version guides describe separate identifiers for Buy and Sell basket tracking. Confirm exact input names in your build. |
| Grid Distance | Configured Input | Version-Specific Inputs | Controls documented order spacing. Confirm whether and how the value can change in each build. |
| MinEquity / MaxDD | Standard Core | Version-Specific | Configured thresholds with version-specific actions. Confirm which orders or positions they affect; these are not guaranteed account floors. |
Deployment Architecture
Both versions run in a compatible MT5 desktop or hosted terminal. Confirm the hedging account mode, broker symbol, preset, terminal connection, and logs before enabling automated trading.
Timeframe Setup
Confirm the chart timeframe for the supplied version and preset. The V1 guide contains M1 and M5 examples; the V3 guide uses M5 examples.
Account Environment
The documented setup requires an MT5 hedging account. A broker example is not an endorsement or proof of compatibility.
Price Events
The EA receives price and tick events through the connected MT5 terminal. Network, broker, spread, slippage, and fills still vary.
Asset Focus
The documented setup focuses on XAUUSD. Confirm the broker's exact gold symbol and contract specification.
Operational Review
Review the
Controls.
V3 adds condition-based basket, trim, and addition controls. More controls require more configuration, monitoring, and testing; they do not remove market or execution risk.

Strategic Positioning.
Rationales for choosing or upgrading based on user intent.
For Existing V1 Users
Evaluate V3 when its documented trim, addition-lock, and basket-close inputs address a requirement you can configure and test. An upgrade does not establish a performance advantage.
For New Users
Start with the version whose inputs, exposure behavior, and stop procedure you can understand and test. A larger account does not make grid or basket trading safe.
Version Summary.
Compare documented controls without assuming a performance advantage.
Documented Differences
V1 lists the core grid and basket workflow. V3 lists additional trim, threshold, release, and addition controls. Compare requirements and risks rather than assuming more settings produce better results.
