How the SmartEdge EA engine behaves

The product is designed around reliability, observability, and control on MT4 — without exposing proprietary entry logic.

Execution pipeline
  • Signal events → pre-trade checks → MT4 order instructions
  • Idempotent actions to avoid accidental duplicate trades
  • Cool-downs and backoffs to reduce execution noise
  • License and account validation at activation time
Observability & logging
  • Lightweight logs (terminal and file) for audit and debugging
  • Optional Telegram notifications for key events
  • Internal health checks (license, heartbeat, I/O)
Non-custodial product design

SmartEdge EA never holds your funds. Orders route via your MT4 terminal, with your own broker account and VPS. You can pause, stop, or remove the EA at any time while maintaining full custody.

What you control as the operator

SmartEdge EA is designed to give you clear levers without exposing sensitive internal logic. You choose the broker, VPS, and account sizing; the EA focuses on consistent execution.

License activation

Each license is bound per MT4 account. First activation locks the account for the license term. You can request a transfer if your trading environment changes.

Alerts & notifications

Optional Telegram notifications for health and key events (user-provided bot token and chat ID, plus MT4 network allow-list configuration are required).

Uptime & hosting

Keep MT4 online 24/5 on a reliable VPS. The EA is intentionally light, so a modern single-vCPU VPS can comfortably handle it.
