GETTING STARTED
If you decide to trade on more currency pairs at the same time, you may consider reducing the
risk for each pair (using AutoMM=1-2% for example).
Before installing WallStreet ASIA on your computer and commencing trading on a real
account, please read this carefully: it may be crucial for your future profits.
Trading forex entails risk and each instance of negligence or inattention may
lead to significant loss!
3. If you suspect that WallStreet ASIA might be operating incorrectly, please halt
operations and contact us immediately!

WHAT YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE USING
WALLSTREET ASIA
▪ WallStreet ASIA automatically recognises whether your broker offers four or five-
digit quotes. You do not need to change any settings. You do not need to multiply
TakeProfit and StopLoss values by 10 if your broker offers five-digit quotes.
▪ We do not recommend that you launch and close your trading terminal too often.
Ideally, it should work without interruption from market opening on Monday to
closure on Friday.
▪ It is the spreads offered by your broker that chiefly determine how much profit you
can make by using WallStreet ASIA. The recommended spread for EURUSD is under
2 pips, for GBPUSD under 3 pips, and for USDJPY under 2 pips.
▪ Be on the lookout for brokers who steal pips and who try to fulfil each order at a
price which is less favourable to you by 1 or 2 pips. This way, advertised 1 pip
narrow spreads can easily work out at 3 or 5 pips, thus reducing profits made by
WallStreet ASIA. Be particularly cautious of new brokers who advertise aggressively
on the internet.

Manual installation
In addition to automatic installation, we also offer manual installation. For this purpose,
we have created an archive that contains all the components and different versions of
our robot. In this archive you will find the versions of WallStreet ASIA for MT4 and MT5
terminals. Please read the instructions below to install manually WallStreet ASIA to your
MT4 and MT5 terminals:
1. After logging into the member area with the username and password provided, go to
the download page. In download page, on the picture showed below, you have to
click on “MANUAL INSTALLATION” button in order to download all the necessary files
for manual installation.
2. We recommend you to save the file to a convenient location on your computer. Then,
go to the folder where you saved the file and extract (unzip) the archive you
downloaded. You will find these files in the archive:
- WS_ASIA_GRID_SET folder which contains .set files for activating the GRID
System of WallStreet ASIA. These .set files are optional!
First you need to locate your Application Data folder of the MT4/MT5. To do this, go to
the File menu in the MT4/MT5 platform and click on "Open Data Folder" (check out the
image below).
- 10 -
4. Place your robot files in the right location.
First thing to do is to open the MQL4 (MQL5 for MT5) folder, which is in the "Application
Data" folder (which you already see). The next steps are very easy:
• Place the “wsasia.bmp” file in the “Images” folder inside the "MQL4" (MQL5 for
MT5 terminal).
• Copy the folder WS_ASIA_GRID_SET and place it in "Presets" folder inside the
"MQL4" (MQL5 for MT5 terminal). If you don’t want to use the GRID System, then
you can miss this step!
- 11 -
5. Run the WallStreet ASIA.
After you have successfully placed the files in the correct folder, all you need to do is to
restart your MT4/MT5. If you have done everything correct, the EAs should appear in
the "Navigator" Tab of your MT4/MT5.

WallStreet ASIA
SETTINGS
What you should be aware of, when using WallStreet ASIA on a real-money account:
- The performance of all Asian session scalpers depends on the spreads and the order
execution by brokers. The best choice would be ECN brokers with tight spreads, fast
order execution and good reputation.
- If you use WallStreet ASIA on a real account more than a month without success,
you’d better cancel operation and try to find a broker with better trading conditions
during the Asian trading session.
Supported currency pairs and recommended spreads during the Asian trading session:
You can edit WallStreet ASIA settings by right clicking anywhere on the chart and
selecting Expert Advisors -> Properties.
WallStreet ASIA automatically updates its settings from our web server. This
means that you can relax: your forex robot is always trimmed to prevailing
market conditions.
NEW WinLargeFonts true/false: use "true" to adjust the robot information box
display in case you are using the Windows Large Fonts.
- 18 -
Magic: a unique identifier through which WallStreet ASIA recognises and manages its
own positions. If you use other expert advisors on the same account, please ensure that
each of them has a distinct unique identifier.
EA_Comment: you can type here a comment, if you wish to mark the WallStreet ASIA
trades.
MaxSpread (default value: -1.0) – the default maximum allowed value of the spread
is provided by our server, but if you want to use your own value, then you can enter a
positive value for the MaxSpread parameter.
MaxSpreadExit: The parameter is used to control closing the trades and avoid closing
the trades when the current spread is greater than MaxSpreadExit. For example, if you
set MaxSpreadExit=5 the EA will close the trades only when spread is equal or lower
than 5 pips. This could be useful in the periods when there are high impact news
(events) and from 00:00 to 00:59 o'clock when the spreads could be higher than usual.
This parameter has value 0 (zero) by default which means it is disabled. If you want to
use it then you can set a value greater than 0 (zero).
Auto_GMT (default value: true) – this parameter controls the GMT Offset calculation
method. In most of the cases, the automatic GMT value is correct. However, in some
cases, you may need to enter the GMT Offset by yourself. In this case, switch
Auto_GMT to FALSE and enter the value you need in the Manual_GMT_Offset
parameter.
Calculate_DST (default value: true) - activates the automatic DST (Daylight Saving
Time) correction.
NEW RefreshDays: this value manages the real-time auto-update interval in days
- 19 -
because in some cases the visible StopLoss levels could be attacked
tendentiously by algorithms that some unethical brokers could use.
As an example if StealthMode is used and the hidden “system” StopLoss is 60 pips and
the EmergencyStopDist is 100 pips, then the emergency StopLoss will be placed 160
pips away from the trade entry price. The only purpose of this is to protect you from
some extremely rare circumstances in which the market moves excessively and the EA
does not manage to close by a market order on the actual “hidden” StopLoss level.
No_Hedge true/false: use "true" if you wish to cancel all hedge trades.
NEW PendingOrderDist: this value manages the new Pending (Stop/Limit) Orders
functionality:
- If the value is zero (default) the robot will use only market orders.
- If the value is greater than zero (a positive value) the robot will use “Limit” orders
with a distance from the market price equal to the PendingOrderDist value in
pips.
- If the value is lower than zero (a negative value) the robot will use “Stop” orders
with a distance from the market price equal to the PendingOrderDist value in
pips.
Generally, we recommend using market orders, but we’ve designed this functionality to provide
an additional flexibility to those our users, which would be interested to experiment. As an
example, if you notice that your broker executes the market orders with a great slippage, you can
try using Limit, or Stop orders. The Limit orders would help to open the trade on a most
favourable price, but you can miss some of the trades. We recommend this functionality only for
advanced traders, which are capable to make their own backtests and optimisations.
- 20 -
NEW StopLimitExpire: this value (in minutes) manages the pending orders expiration
in case you are using the Pending Orders functionality.
Entry_Break (default value: 0) - break in pips of the channel border, which will trigger
an opposite order execution. The default value is zero, which means that the value
provided by our server will be used.
Exit_Distance (default value: 0) - break in pips of the channel border, which will
trigger a closure of the existing order. The default value is zero, which means that the
value provided by our server will be used.
Start_Trade_Hour (default value: -1) - the hour of the day (Broker time) in which
trading will be enabled. The default value is -1, which means that the value provided by
our server will be used.
End_Trade_Hour (default value: -1) - the hour of the day (Broker time) in which
trading will be disabled. The default value is -1, which means that the value provided by
our server will be used.
MaxDailyRange: If the daily bar height is greater than MaxDailyRange value the robot
will not open a trade.
- 21 -
FixedLots: the extent of the fixed trading volume. If you use AutoMM>0, the value of
the FixedLots parameter does not matter.
MondayStartHour: The robot will start trading after this hour on Monday. If you want
to set any custom value it must be between 0 and 23. To completely disable trading on
Monday set MondayStartHour=24.
FridayExit true/false: if you wish to close all trades on Friday, you should use
FridayExit=true
LastTradeHour: the robot can trade until the end of this hour on Friday (including this
hour).
ExitHour: the robot will close all open positions at this hour on Friday.
If you decide to use the "FridayExit" option you should set "LastTradeHour" and
"ExitHour" several hours before the market closing of your broker on Friday.
Avoid_News true/false - if you wish to use the news filter function, you should set
Avoid_News=true
Important: StopLoss and TakeProfit have default values of zero (0). When the default
value is selected, WallStreet ASIA uses StopLoss and TakeProfit values broadcast by our
web server. If you wish to set your own StopLoss and TakeProfit values, simply input
values different to zero. In such a case, WallStreet ASIA shall use the StopLoss and
TakeProfit values set by you.

BROKER SPY MODULE
An insider look to the Broker behavior
The BROKER SPY MODULE compares the initial entry/exit price ordered from the robot,
with the actual broker execution price. The difference between the ordered price and
the broker execution price is the actual slippage.
If the broker is a correct one (and you are not trading news, spikes or other extreme scalping
techniques) the slippage could be either positive, or negative. In long term the average
slippage should be close to zero.
Unfortunately some brokers are literally stealing from their clients with tendentious
negative slippage without any objective market reason. This is why we’ve developed the
BROKER SPY MODULE – to provide to our users this extremely important information -
an inside look to the broker’s behavior.
- 23 -
The BROKER SPY MODULE aggregates the whole important information of all trades
executed from the robot since it is started. All statistics is written on an external file, so
even if you restart the robot multiple times the statistics will not be lost.
If you change the magic number of the robot, the robot will create a new file and
the statistic will start from that moment. All statistics files from different magic number
initializations will be kept with the used magic number in the name of the file. If you
want to continue the statistics on some particular file you just need to initialize the
robot with the same magic number as is in the file name. The BROKER SPY MODULE
statistics files are located in the MT4 Data Folder->MQL 4->Files.
The BROKER SPY MODULE also provides important information about the average order
execution delay. The order execution delay could be initiated from the broker in low
liquidity conditions, or other objective reasons. Unfortunately in some cases some
brokers could use this tendentiously to steal their clients. In other cases the orders
delay could be caused by poor, or busy internet connection. However in all possible
scenarios this is a very important information to know. It could be considered as normal
if your order delay is below 1000 ms (1s) in normal market conditions, unless you do
not get a tendentiously negative slippage.
In addition the BROKER SPY MODULE provides statistics for the average spread for all
moments in which the robot initiate a trade signal.
Here is what exactly the BROKER SPY MODULE (BSM) statistics show:
The values in the brackets represent the extracted from the BSM history file data, from
all previews initializations of the robot. The values outside the brackets represent the
statistics since the last initialization of the robot.
First Trade – the date and time of the first trade from the statistics.
Last Trade – the date and time of the last trade from the statistics.
Total Errors – the total number of recorded errors for all type of orders
Total Entry Slippage – the total slippage from all market and all activated pending
orders in standard 4 digit pips.
Average Slippage – the average slippage from all market and all activated pending
orders in standard 4 digit pips.
- 24 -
Average Speed – the average time delay for accepting of all type of orders in
milliseconds (ms)
Exit Signal Trades – the total number of successfully executed exit market orders
Total Exit Slippage - the total slippage from all exit market orders in standard 4 digit
pips.
Average Slippage – the average slippage from all exit market orders in standard 4
digit pips.
Average Speed - the average time delay for accepting of all exit market orders in
milliseconds (ms)
Average Spread – average spread for all trading signals generated from the robot in
standard 4 digit pips.
Last Signal Spread – the spread for the last trading signal generated from the robot
High Spread Count – the total number of cases in which the trade is canceled due to
high spread, considering the MaxSPREAD setting.

WallStreet ASIA
GRID SYSTEM
The new version 1.4 (and above) of WallStreet ASIA comes with Grid System. The Grid
System is developed to make WallStreet ASIA more profitable and less broker
dependent. The goal was to make WallStreet ASIA perfect trading strategy for all forex
traders. Because with the Grid System it can cover the needs and expectations of most
of the forex traders.
The Grid System of WallStreet ASIA can be used in many ways. You can use it as
normal grid, grid with martingale risk policy and in more aggressive way. No matter
how you will use the Grid System it will improve WallStreet ASIA performance.
The only thing you have to do is to enable the Grid System. Just set
Grid_System=true and then configure the Grid System parameters. The most
important parameters of the Grid Systems are:
▪ Grid_Max_Trades
▪ Grid_Distance
▪ Grid_Take_Profit
▪ Grid_Stop_Loss
These four parameters are enough for making WallStreet ASIA a normal grid. You can
read below the section " WallStreet ASIA Settings" to learn more about these four
parameters.
What is typical for a normal grid? The typical is that the strategy open a few trades with
specific distance between each trade and same lot size. You can control the number of
trades by Grid_Max_Trades. You can define the distance by Grid_Distance. You can set
take profit in pips by Grid_Take_Profit and you can set stop loss by Grid_Stop_Loss
parameter.
With these four parameters you can run optimization to find the best configuration.
Then you can use this configuration for live trading.
- 27 -
2. How to use the Grid System as a grid with martingale risk policy?
A Grid System with martingale risk policy means that every next trade will be with
higher risk than the previous one. The advantage of this is the speed of closing the
trades. Most of the times when a martingale risk policy is used with grid strategies all
open trades are closing quickly on profit.
You can use the same four parameters from above plus the following parameters:
▪ Grid_Risk_Multiplier
▪ Grid_Take_Profit_Money
The first parameter Grid_Risk_Multiplier is used for risk policy. Read the section
"WallStreet ASIA Settings" to learn more about this parameter and how to use it.
Since martingale strategies have complicated risk calculation you cannot simply use
take profit in pips. Therefore, we have added additional parameter
Grid_Take_Profit_Money. It is easier now to calculate your desired profit in your account
currency. Low values of this parameters mean that the EA will close the grid trades
quickly.
Based on our tests and optimizations the Grid System can be used as more clever
system too. What this means? Not always you need a few additional trades (grid) to
compensate the initial losing trades. Sometimes you need only one with higher risk and
opened at right moment.
This is possible with the Grid System of WallStreet ASIA. You need to configure the
following parameters:
▪ Grid_Distance: You need to set bigger distance. For example 70, 80 ... 100...
▪ Grid_Signal_Period: Based on our tests the best results can be achieved with
value 60. This is H1 time frame.

both trades (the initial and the additional).
We have prepared .set files for each supported pairs with activated GRID System. You
can find these .set files in the member area Download page:
https://www.wallstreet-forex.com/account/download
Have in mind that there are .set files for different cases with different combination of
settings. You must test all .set files in strategy tester before to load them on your real
money account. Test well and make sure that the .set files are OK with your account
balance and risk you trade.
The reason is simple: not all brokers offer good conditions during the Asian session. To
help our users to achieve good results we have developed and added GRID System in
the robot. When the GRID System is enabled WallStreet ASIA become less broker
dependent and have better chance to close the trades on profit. GRID System could be
risky for small accounts! In case you have a small account please trade with the default
settings.
- 29 -
RISK MANAGEMENT HINTS
If your account is significant in extent and importance and if you do not wish to take
unnecessary risk, then you should settle for AutoMM values between 1 and 5 percent
risk per individual transaction. In such case, you may expect a return on investment in
the order of 10 to 100 percent on an annual basis.
If your account is not significant in extent or importance, and if you can afford to
assume significant risk, then you may select AutoMM values between 10 and 20
percent per individual transaction. In such case, you may expect a return on investment
in the order of 200 and 1000 percent on an annual basis. Bear in mind, however, that
the level of risk assumed means that the chance of losing the entire account increases.
In reality, perhaps the most widely assumed risk per individual transaction is 5 percent
(AutoMM=5), and for a good reason. Assuming 5 percent risk and applying a good
trading strategy, your chances of steady long-term profit are significant, while the risk of
losing the entire account is minimised.

HOW TO BACKTEST
WallStreet ASIA
Please, do not forget to activate your demo, or real account, even if you only
wish to backtest WallStreet ASIA!
If you wish to back-test WallStreet ASIA, first you should download history from the
MetaTrader history center: click Tools -> History Center, or press the "F2" key of the
keyboard. In the list, find the currency pair that you wish to back-test and double click
to expand it. Click "1 Minute (M1)" and then click "Download". When the download
process is finished, double click on "5 Minutes (M5)” and "15 Minutes (M15)" to convert
the M1 data. Close the "History Center" window.
To open the "Strategy Tester" window click the "Strategy Tester" button of the
MetaTrader menu, or press "Ctrl+R" on the keyboard. In the "Strategy Tester" window
chose "WallStreet ASIA", chose one of the supported currency pairs, chose M15
timeframe, chose the method "Every tick ...", as shown below. Click "Start" to start the
back-test.
- 31 -
The back-test by "Every tick" is the most precise, but it is very slow. If you wish to save
time you can run the back-test on M1 timeframe by "Open price only ..." method and
this will be correct too.
Important notice: If you make a back-test and at the same time you have WallStreet
ASIA attached on the chart in live trading mode, this can overload your MetaTrader4
terminal and can be a cause for a MataTrader 4 terminal crash. Do not make back-tests
on the same MataTrader 4 terminal, which you use for live trading!
We strongly recommend that you operate a demo account before trading with
real money. This will help you become familiar with the way WallStreet ASIA
operates before you commit genuine funds to a real money account.

EMAIL AND MOBILE PUSH
NOTIFICATIONS

WallStreet ASIA gives traders a bit of freedom with the new notification system. Traders
don’t have to sit in front of their computer all day monitoring their traders. In spite of
this freedom, traders like to know when a trading position has been opened or closed

easy to set-up your terminal to receive these notifications. The robots can send email

default, these options are disabled. In order to enable these options, you have to set:
▪ EMAIL_Notification=true
