Answers, including the unflattering ones.
Is this a trade copier?
No. A copier watches somebody else's account and repeats whatever it sees, late and without context. The Bridge is the system itself running in your terminal: the same engine, the same settings, the same variable trailing exit and the same hidden stop management, delivered directly and unmodified. Nothing is being mirrored after the fact.
Why can I not change the stop loss or take profit?
Because those are the parts that were tested, and they are doing more work than most people expect - the exit logic is variable, stops are not left resting on the broker's book, and some positions are deliberately held overnight. Change any of it and you are no longer trading the method that produced the record. You control your lot size, which is the one setting that cannot distort the result.
What kind of account do I need?
Any MetaTrader 5 account - demo, live or cent. Attach the bridge and it works the same way on all of them, so you can run the free week on a demo account first if you would rather watch before committing real money. One licence runs one account.
Do I need to leave my computer on?
The bridge needs a running MT5 terminal to place and manage trades, so most subscribers run it on a cheap VPS rather than a home PC. We will point you at the setup. Our master engine runs on our own VPS regardless.
Is this financial advice?
No. AlastEdge licenses software. You run it on your own account, in your own name, and you can stop it whenever you like - we never hold your money and never have discretionary control over your account. We are not a licensed investment adviser, we do not know your circumstances, and nothing here is a personal recommendation. The decision to run it is yours.
Why is the equity curve a straight line rather than an exponential one?
Because the system is tested at a fixed position size with no money management and no compounding. Compounding is what turns an ordinary edge into a dramatic exponential chart, and it tells you nothing about whether the edge itself is real. Results are shown in points, the raw price movement captured, so they do not depend on account size, leverage or the quote currency.
Are trading costs included?
Yes. Spread and commission are included in every figure published on this site. Testing is done in MetaTrader 5 against high-quality data. Live execution can still differ from modelled fills, which is why the live record is being built and published separately.
How do I know the results are not just a curve-fitted backtest?
Because the settings are never tested on the data used to choose them. Each result comes from a period that was withheld from the selection entirely, and the sequence is fixed in advance rather than chosen afterwards. Every step is published, including the losing ones.
Do you guarantee profits?
No, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. Trading leveraged instruments carries substantial risk and most retail accounts lose money. We sell a process and the evidence behind it, not an outcome.
What do you actually trade?
Indices and metals, intraday. Shares and a limited set of FX pairs are in development. We trade liquid instruments only, because slippage on thin markets quietly destroys an edge.
Will you tell me how the system picks its settings?
No. The selection method is the intellectual property and it stays private. What we publish is every result it produces, including the bad ones, so you can judge the output without needing the recipe.
Can I cancel?
Any time, in one click, from your account. No retention calls, no cancellation form, no notice period.
