FAQ
Common Questions
What is the minimum account size?
We recommend a minimum of $25,000 USD. Below this threshold, position sizing becomes mathematically impractical for 24-instrument diversification with proper Kelly sizing.
Which broker do I need?
SOVEREIGN runs on MetaTrader 5. We support any regulated broker offering MT5. We recommend ECN/STP brokers with tight spreads on FX majors.
How does the 10% drawdown cap work?
If the account drawdown from its highest equity point reaches 10%, the EA automatically closes all open positions and pauses trading until the first trading day of the next month. This rule is hardcoded and cannot be disabled.
Is this a managed account or a signal service?
Neither. SOVEREIGN is an Expert Advisor (EA) that runs on your own MT5 account at your own broker. You retain full custody of your capital at all times.
What is the historical win rate?
The 4-year live account win rate is 68.3%. The average R:R of 1:1.2 and 0.34R expectancy per trade are more meaningful metrics.
How often does SOVEREIGN trade?
Approximately 3-8 trades per day across all 24 instruments. There are quiet periods where all models disagree and no trades are taken.
What happens during high-impact news events?
SOVEREIGN has a built-in news filter. Trading pauses 30 minutes before and 15 minutes after High impact events (NFP, FOMC, CPI, etc.).
Can I run it on a VPS?
Yes, and we recommend it. A VPS ensures 24/5 uptime. We provide VPS configuration guidance to active subscribers.
Is the backtest verified?
We only publish live account data. Backtests are used internally for model development but are not presented to clients due to overfitting risks.
What is the refund policy?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you are unsatisfied for any reason.
How do I connect my MT5 account?
After subscription you receive the EA file and setup guide. Installation takes approximately 20 minutes.
Is SOVEREIGN suitable for prop firm accounts?
In some cases yes. The 10% drawdown cap aligns with many prop firm rules. Verify that algorithmic trading is permitted by your specific prop firm first.
