Question 1

What does "Prop-Firm Ready" mean at Pricewerk?

Accepted Answer

It means an Expert Advisor includes configurable guardrails for risk, timing, trade frequency, exposure, and execution quality. It does not mean a funded-account challenge pass is guaranteed.

Question 2

Does Prop-Firm Ready guarantee challenge success?

Accepted Answer

No. Prop-firm rules differ, market conditions change, and every account still needs its own risk plan, testing process, and rule monitoring.

Question 3

What is the difference between "Prop-Firm Ready" and "Prop-Firm workflow support"?

Accepted Answer

"Prop-Firm Ready" applies to EAs with practical account and execution controls. "Workflow support" applies to indicators that help review conditions but cannot block trades or enforce account limits.

Question 4

Which prop-firm rules remain my responsibility?

Accepted Answer

Daily and overall drawdown, news restrictions, holding rules, consistency rules, minimum trading days, payout rules, and daily reset definitions must be checked against the exact prop-firm terms.

Question 5

Which controls should I review before using an EA on a funded account?

Accepted Answer

Risk per trade, daily-loss caps, trade-count limits, open-position limits, session windows, weekday behavior, Friday/Monday handling, spread filters, volatility filters, and broker-distance rules.

Question 6

What should I check before live or funded-account testing?

Accepted Answer

Before live or funded-account testing, confirm the account rules, symbol specification, session mapping, spread and commission assumptions, execution limits, setfile version, and your own risk limits. Strategy Tester and demo checks should come first.

Question 7

Can I use published setfiles live immediately?

Accepted Answer

No. Setfiles are research baselines. Test symbol, timeframe, spread, commission, slippage, broker server time, account rules, and out-of-sample behavior before live use.

Question 8

How should I choose between Pricewerk tools?

Accepted Answer

Start from the workflow you want to test: Golden Pocket EA for automated ATR-Fibonacci pullbacks, Pressure Box EA for volatility-compression breakouts, Golden Pocket Indicator for manual value-zone context, Continuum VWAP EA for VWAP trend-continuation automation, Turtle Soup EA for automated false-breakout workflows, and Turtle Soup Indicator for manual visual review and alerts. Compare the full product matrix on the tools page.

Question 9

What is the difference between an EA and an indicator?

Accepted Answer

An EA can place and manage trades according to configured rules. An indicator supports chart reading, alerts, and manual decision workflows but does not manage account risk.

Question 10

How do I install a Pricewerk tool in MetaTrader 5?

Accepted Answer

Install published products through the MQL5 Market inside MetaTrader 5 or from the product's official MQL5 listing. Then open the product manual, attach the EA or indicator to the intended chart, and review settings before testing.

Question 11

How do MQL5 access, versions, and updates work?

Accepted Answer

MQL5 Market access is tied to the user's MQL5 account and the official product listing. Product pages show current published or pending status and version context where available. After an update, review changelog notes and settings before reusing presets.

Question 12

How do I import a setfile?

Accepted Answer

Download the setfile from the product page, open the EA settings in MetaTrader 5, choose Load, and select the .set file. Confirm the symbol, timeframe, product version, broker settings, spread, commission, and risk parameters before running a test.

Question 13

Where do I find manuals, downloads, and product access?

Accepted Answer

Product pages link the available manuals, setfiles, MQL5 listings, and current publication status. Pending products make their marketplace status explicit.

Question 14

How reliable are backtests and performance snapshots?

Accepted Answer

They document tested scenarios and evidence, but they cannot predict live results. Broker data, spread, commission, slippage, liquidity, and changed market behavior can alter outcomes.

Question 15

Is Pricewerk financial advice or a signal service?

Accepted Answer

No. Pricewerk provides software, educational material, and technical documentation. Users remain responsible for every trading decision and setting.

Question 16

What should I include in a support request?

Accepted Answer

Product name, version, MT5 build, broker, symbol, timeframe, setfile, relevant settings, screenshots, and Journal or Experts log excerpts.

Question 17

Which logs help with support questions?

Accepted Answer

Journal and Experts logs are most useful when they cover the moment of the issue. Include chart screenshots, input settings, error messages, and Strategy Tester reports when relevant.
