Question 1

What is MrKrabsEA?

Accepted Answer

MrKrabsEA is a subscription-based MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor (automated trading robot) built exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold) on the M30 timeframe. It uses a multi-confirmation entry system — dual moving averages, RSI momentum, and breakout validation — with session filtering for the Sydney and London markets.

Question 2

Does MrKrabsEA work on prop firm challenge accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — MrKrabsEA can be used on prop firm challenge accounts. It does not use martingale, grid, hedging, or position averaging. Each trade has its own defined stop loss. It is compatible with the rules of major prop firms including FTMO, My Forex Funds, and The Funded Trader. Always verify your specific firm's EA policy before running it.

Question 3

Does MrKrabsEA use martingale, grid, or averaging strategies?

Accepted Answer

No. MrKrabsEA does not use martingale, grid, hedging, or position averaging. Every trade is opened and closed independently with its own stop loss. This makes it compatible with most prop firms that prohibit those strategies.

Question 4

Will the EA breach my daily loss limit or maximum drawdown rule?

Accepted Answer

The EA is designed with conservative position sizing starting at 0.01 lots and does not chase losses. However, no EA can guarantee it will never hit a drawdown limit during adverse market conditions. We recommend setting lot size to match your prop firm's maximum allowed risk per trade and monitoring your account daily during challenges.

Question 5

Does MrKrabsEA hold trades over the weekend?

Accepted Answer

No. MrKrabsEA focuses on the Sydney and London sessions and is not designed to hold positions through the weekend. This helps avoid weekend gap risk and is compatible with prop firms that prohibit overnight or weekend holding.

Question 6

What pairs and timeframes does MrKrabsEA trade?

Accepted Answer

MrKrabsEA is built exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold vs US Dollar) on the M30 (30-minute) timeframe. Every parameter, filter, and threshold was calibrated specifically for this instrument and timeframe. Running it on any other pair or timeframe is not recommended.

Question 7

What results has MrKrabsEA produced on a real account?

Accepted Answer

Live results are published monthly on the Performance page. December 2025 and January 2026 produced small losses. February 2026 recovered with +135%. We publish losing months alongside winning ones — full transparency, no cherry-picking.

Question 8

Is there a free trial for MrKrabsEA?

Accepted Answer

Yes — MrKrabsEA offers a 7-day free trial. Sign up, request your trial from the dashboard, and you will receive an account-locked .ex5 file at no charge. No payment is required to start.

Question 9

How do I install MrKrabsEA on MetaTrader 5?

Accepted Answer

Download your .ex5 file from your dashboard. In MT5, go to File > Open Data Folder, then navigate to MQL5 > Experts and paste the file there. Refresh the Navigator panel (Ctrl+N, right-click Expert Advisors > Refresh), open a XAUUSD M30 chart, drag the EA onto the chart, enable Allow Algo Trading, and click the Auto Trading button in the toolbar. The EA is now running.

Question 10

Do I need a VPS to run MrKrabsEA?

Accepted Answer

A Windows VPS is strongly recommended so MetaTrader 5 runs 24/7 without interruption — even when your PC is off. MrKrabsEA targets the Sydney and London sessions, which may run outside your local business hours. VPS plans optimized for MetaTrader start at $8.97/month.

Question 11

How do I pay for MrKrabsEA?

Accepted Answer

We accept cryptocurrency payments only — Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT, and other major coins via NOWPayments. Credit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers are not accepted. Your license is activated automatically after payment confirmation.

Question 12

Can I get a refund if MrKrabsEA does not perform well?

Accepted Answer

Due to the digital nature of the product (a software file locked to your account), refunds are not offered once the license file has been delivered. This is why a free 7-day trial is available — use it to evaluate the EA on your own account before purchasing.
