The Sovereign EA — one unified algorithm for trade execution, risk management, and journaling

Alpha Draconis Arsenal (P5) — The Sovereign Algorithm

Arsenal is not a collection of tools — it is one unified Algorithm (Alpha_Draconis_Arsenal.ex5) that integrates execution, risk enforcement, and automated journaling into a single deployment.

🐉 One File. One Chart. Total Control.

Drag one .ex5 file onto your chart. The Algorithm handles everything — from signal detection to trade execution to risk containment to automated logging. No separate installations. No configuration files to manage.

Architecture

Arsenal operates as three integrated modules within a single Algorithm:

| Module | Function | Legacy Equivalent | |--------|----------|-------------------| | Executor | Signal detection & trade management | Alpha Draconis Framework | | Risk Guardian | Real-time position guarding & daily loss enforcement | Firewall EA | | Auto-Journal | Automated trade logging & session documentation | Chronicle EA |

Why One Algorithm?

Previous versions required installing three separate EAs. This caused:

Configuration drift between EAs
Chart conflicts (multiple EAs on same chart)
Synchronization issues during volatile markets

Arsenal eliminates all of this. One deployment. Zero conflicts. Perfect synchronization.

Core Features

Executor Mode

The primary trading engine. Processes market data through the Alpha Draconis methodology:

MAP Phase — Identifies structural levels, supply/demand zones, and market context
EVENT Phase — Detects qualifying price action events at mapped levels
TRIGGER Phase — Executes with precision entries and calculated invalidation points

The Executor supports two operational states:

| State | Behavior | |-------|----------| | Executor | Full autonomy — detects signals and opens positions | | Explorer | Signal-only — logs opportunities without trading |

Risk Guardian (Integrated Firewall)

The built-in risk module enforces your parameters in real-time:

Daily Loss Ceiling — Configurable via Dashboard cloud sync
Equity Hard Stop — Absolute floor that triggers trade closure
Position Size Limits — Maximum lot size per trade
Trading Window — Time-based restrictions (e.g., no trading during news)
Correlation Guard — Prevents overexposure to correlated instruments

🚨 Non-Negotiable

Risk Guardian operates independently of the Executor. Even if a signal qualifies, Risk Guardian will reject the trade if it violates any configured parameter. The firewall cannot be overridden from within MT5.

Auto-Journal (Integrated Chronicle)

Every trading session is automatically documented:

Trade Entries: Entry price, time, signal type, risk-reward ratio
Trade Exits: Exit price, duration, P&L, slippage analysis
Session Reports: Daily aggregated performance metrics
Heartbeat Data: Equity snapshots synced to the cloud every 5 seconds

Journal data is written to MQL5/Files/Alpha_Draconis_System/ and synchronized to your Dashboard via the heartbeat system.

Configuration

From Dashboard (Recommended)

Navigate to Dashboard → Risk Configuration to set:

| Parameter | Description | Default | |-----------|-------------|---------| | Max Daily Loss | Dollar amount ceiling per day | Account-specific | | Hard Equity Stop | Emergency equity floor | 0 (disabled) | | Max Lot Size | Maximum position size | 0.5 | | Trading Hours | Allowed UTC hours | 00:00 - 23:59 |

⚠️ 24-Hour Oath

Risk parameters set via Dashboard are subject to the 24-Hour Time-Lock. You can tighten limits immediately but cannot loosen them for 24 hours. See Risk Protocols.

From MT5 Settings

Some parameters are configurable directly in the EA settings panel:

InpLicenseKey — Your license key
InpOperationMode — Executor or Explorer
InpMagicNumber — Unique trade identifier
InpMaxSpread — Maximum allowed spread for entries
