Getting Started
LORENTZIAN Overview & Requirements
LORENTZIAN is a two-part system: an MT4 Expert Advisor that handles order execution and risk controls, paired with a standalone AI engine — The Brain (brain.exe) — that runs alongside your terminal and handles the actual pattern-scoring. The two communicate over a local connection on your own machine — nothing is sent to an external server.
How a trade decision is made
Before any order is sent, a potential setup passes through the same pipeline every time:
- An indicator z-score is calculated for the current bar.
- A Lorentzian-distance KNN comparison finds the historical patterns that most closely resemble it.
- A neural network gives a second opinion on top of the KNN result.
- A market-regime check confirms the current conditions match what the setup expects.
- The setup is checked against the Black Book — a per-symbol memory of past losing trades — and vetoed if it looks too similar to something that has already lost on that symbol.
Only setups that pass all five steps result in an order.
What you need
- A Windows PC or Windows VPS. The Brain (
brain.exe) is a Windows executable and does not run on macOS or Linux directly. - MetaTrader 4 installed, with a live or demo account already added.
- Your LORENTZIAN license key, available under My Account → License keys after purchase. Every purchase includes one license key, usable on up to 3 MT4 accounts at once — manage them yourself anytime from that same page.
- At least $100 account balance for every chart you run the EA on. Running it on two charts — say EURUSD M5 and BTCUSD M30 — needs at least $200 balance between them. This is a practical minimum for position sizing and the drawdown breaker to work as intended, not a guarantee against loss.
