Overview
What Noise Area Momentum PROP does
Noise Area Momentum PROP trades the Noise Area Momentum strategy on US100 / NAS100 and adds what a challenge needs: it stops at the profit target, pauses for the day before the daily loss limit, stops for good before the maximum loss, keeps a real stop loss on the broker's server, varies execution slightly per account and shows everything on a dashboard. Single position, no grid, no martingale.
- No martingale, grid or averaging.
- Flat every night and weekend.
- Restart-safe: state survives a VPS restart.

How it works
From signal to exit
Same entries as the broker edition
Half-hour decisions against a 14-day noise area around the US open: long above, short below, one position, flat before the close.
Guard the daily limit
When today's loss reaches 3% to 4% of the initial balance (by set file) the position is closed and the EA pauses until tomorrow, well before a typical 5% limit.
Guard the account
At 8% below the initial balance everything is closed and the EA stops. At the profit target it closes and stops too.
Protect against outages
Every position carries a real stop loss on the server at the remaining daily room, so the limit holds even if your VPS goes offline.

Features and protections
What is built in
Challenge simulator results
Every trading day from 2023 to 2026 was replayed as a challenge start on FTMO price data: MEDIUM never failed and passed Phase 1 within a year 58% of the time; AGGRESSIVE passed 88% and failed 2%.
Live dashboard
Status, target progress, daily and maximum loss used against your firm's limits, trading days, win rate, profit factor and the next decision time.
Six set files
LOW, MEDIUM and AGGRESSIVE for Phase 1 (10%) and Phase 2 (5%). They work on any account size.
Per-account execution variation
Small random entry delay, lot variation and exit time per account. It does not change the strategy and is not a way around any firm's rules.

Questions
Frequently asked
How long does a challenge take?
In the simulation, Phase 1 passed within 60 days only 4-6% of the time and within a year 58% (MEDIUM) to 88% (AGGRESSIVE) of the time. It is built to survive, not to sprint.
Which set file is safest?
MEDIUM: no simulated challenge failed. AGGRESSIVE is faster but about 2% of simulated challenges failed.
Does my prop firm allow it?
Most firms allow EAs, but rules on third-party EAs, copy trading and capital per strategy differ. Check your firm's current terms before you buy a challenge.
How do I get it after buying?
The download includes a backtest build, six set files and a PDF guide. Reply to your receipt with up to three MT5 account numbers to receive your licensed build.
