Target drawdowns and lot steps per tier are from the developer's Capital Allocation and Risk Setup Guide. Young accounts — judge them over months, not weeks. Past performance does not guarantee future results. How to read these signals
Capital Protection
Protection Protocols. Prop Firm Suite.
Proprietary Account & Compliance Suite: Engineered for accounts operating under strict capital preservation rules and daily drawdown thresholds.
- Enable Virtualised Capital: Decouples the EA's lot calculator from raw broker balance, calculating all risk and basket metrics relative to an allocated loss buffer.
- Virtualisation Protocol: Dynamic: Scales your allowable buffer upward as profits accrue. Static Buffer: Enforces a fixed drawdown buffer regardless of account balance growth.
- Allocated Funded Account Size: The baseline capital of the account (e.g., 100000).
- Maximum Permitted Drawdown Threshold: The percentage ceiling of allowable total account loss (e.g., 90.0 represents a 10% maximum total drawdown limit).
- Daily Profit Ceiling: Closes all active trades and locks the EA in an idle state until server midnight once the target percentage gain for the day is secured.
- Daily Drawdown Floor: Emergency circuit breaker. If floating loss plus closed intraday trades hits this percentage of the starting day balance, all trades are liquidated immediately and trading is halted until the next session.
From the developer's Complete Input Parameter Manual. Check your prop firm's own rules on Expert Advisors before trading a funded account.

Questions
Before You Buy
Does Philippe Calibre 79 use martingale or grid?
It utilizes a built-in basket closure mechanism to manage floating positions, avoiding the use of unmanaged lot multipliers. Basket Management: Automatically pairs negative positions with larger positive positions to exit the market cycle at a designated target level. Maximum Open Legs: Limits the permitted number of concurrent positions per cycle. Every official preset sets it to 2, so the EA can hold more than one position per cycle, but never an unlimited number. Martingale vs grid vs basket management, explained
How much does Philippe Calibre 79 cost?
On MQL5 it currently costs $349 for a one-time purchase with 10 activations, or $99 to rent for one month. The price rises in tiers as copies sell, so the live price is always the one shown on the MQL5 product page.
Is there a free demo?
Yes. The MQL5 product page offers a free demo that runs in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, so you can backtest it on your own broker's XAUUSD data with any of the presets before paying. How to backtest the free demo
What is the minimum deposit?
Minimum Capital: $500 for Standard Accounts (or equivalent in Cent/Micro accounts). The developer's Capital Allocation and Risk Setup Guide recommends, for the Balanced tier, standard accounts with $1,000+ or Micro accounts with $100+. The public live signals run $50–$100 balances on TitanFX.
Do I need a VPS?
Yes. Execution: A low-latency VPS is required for stable operation. An Expert Advisor only trades while its MetaTrader 5 terminal is running and connected, so MQL5's built-in virtual hosting or a Windows VPS close to your broker's trade server both work.
