Frequently asked questions

How does XcalpAI connect to MetaTrader 5 (MT5)?
XcalpAI connects via our ultra-low latency Python-MT5 Expert Advisor bridge. You simply copy our lightweight EA script into your MT5 `Experts` folder, input your XcalpAI API token, and execution starts instantly.
What Forex pairs and timeframes work best with the AI engine?
The XcalpAI model is pre-trained on major liquid pairs including EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD, NZD/USD, and USD/CAD (Gold). It yields optimal risk-adjusted returns on M5, M15, and H1 chart timeframes.
How do I configure ATR risk management and daily drawdown limits?
In your XcalpAI Risk Settings tab, you can set dynamic Average True Range (ATR) stop multipliers (e.g., 1.5x ATR) and set a hard maximum daily drawdown cap (e.g., 2% of total equity).
What happens if my broker connection drops or latency spikes?
XcalpAI includes automated failover protection. If broker latency exceeds 150ms or disconnects, open positions are protected with broker-side hard Stop-Loss orders immediately.
Is there a minimum account balance required for automated trading?
No minimum balance is required. XcalpAI dynamically calculates fractional micro-lot position sizes (starting from 0.01 lots) based on your account equity and chosen risk percentage.
