Higher Low AutoTrader
From Monja's strategy to a branded MT5 automated trading product. A rules-based execution assistant that watches the market continuously, waits for every condition to be confirmed, and applies controlled risk — the same way the method is taught.
The bot does not replace the strategy. It applies the strategy consistently.

Concept only. The final panel is built inside MetaTrader 5 and may differ. Its purpose is to show what the software is monitoring and why it is waiting or trading.
Turning a method into a tool
Monja's knowledge
The trading logic, teaching method and brand identity stay at the centre of the product.
The development
The rules are translated into tested MT5 software with documentation and a professional interface.
The product
A branded execution tool that begins as Monja's private tool and only later becomes anything more.
A product that belongs to the brand
The AutoTrader is designed as an extension of the education business: simple rules, disciplined execution and responsible risk management, with Monja keeping full control over how it is used.
- Higher Low Trading name, colours and interface
- Settings Monja can explain to her students in plain language
- Written documentation alongside the technical build
- No hidden logic and no dependency on a third-party signal seller
- Private use first, with any wider release a separate decision
One setup. Six controlled checks.
The software acts only after a completed candle confirms every rule. The unfinished candle is ignored, so a temporary move is never treated as a confirmed signal. The exact conditions remain private to Higher Low Trading.
Monitor the selected chart and wait for a new candle to complete.
Check the trend condition on completed candles only.
Require momentum and closing position to agree before acting.
Verify no position is already open and that broker conditions allow the trade.
Calculate the trade size so the planned loss stays inside the chosen limit.
Place the order with its protective stop and predefined target.
Position size follows the stop — not emotion
The bot first determines where the trade idea becomes invalid, then sizes the trade so the planned loss stays within the selected percentage of the account. If the account balance is N$10,000 and the risk setting is 1%, the planned loss at the stop is no more than N$100.
No martingale
Never increase size to recover a previous loss.
No averaging down
Never add to a losing position.
Broker validation
Respect minimum sizes, size steps and stop distances.
Safe rejection
Skip the trade when compliant risk sizing is not possible.
One position
Prevent repeated entries on the same symbol.
Full logging
Record why a setup traded or was rejected.
Development roadmap

The bot must earn confidence through evidence
Good code can execute a poor strategy perfectly. For that reason the software and the strategy are tested separately.
Software validation
- Compile with zero unresolved errors
- Verify signals candle by candle
- Confirm risk sizing across symbols
- Test minimum, maximum and step size rules
- Test spread and stop-distance rejection
- Test reconnection and restart behaviour
Strategy validation
- Backtest multiple market periods
- Review trade count and maximum drawdown
- Avoid settings chosen only because they fit history
- Forward-test on demo under live spreads
- Record slippage and rejected orders
- Approve live use only after Monja's review
Important risk notice: forex, synthetic-index and leveraged trading involve substantial risk and can result in the loss of capital. The Higher Low AutoTrader is a software project. It does not guarantee profitability, income or protection from loss. Historical backtests and demo results cannot guarantee future performance.
