O!kurra manual
The complete guide to the O!kurra toolkit — philosophy, indicators, the EA and every parameter. The opening chapters are open to everyone; the full manual opens once you're logged in.
- 01 The Philosophy of the O!kurra Ecosystem O!kurra is a set of research and education tools for the MetaTrader 5 platform, designed with fast-moving markets in mind — indices (NAS100, US30, GER40 and related) and commodity instruments (XAUU… Open
- 02 The Two-Mode Architecture: Design and Execution Most Expert Advisors on MetaTrader do two things in one file: they let you enter parameters and immediately trade with them. You type them in, click OK, the robot starts. Simple — but it has one se… Open
- 03 Installation and First Launch After registering on okurra.com you get access to the O!kurra ecosystem tool package. All the indicators — including both design panels — are free; only the EA requires a subscription (section 3.2)… Open
- 04 OkurraButton — the B1–B5 strategy designer OkurraButton is the design panel for the five strategies — a design-mode tool (chapter 2) in which you lay out the parameters of buttons B1...B5, one after another, on a live chart and with instant… Open
- 05 OkurraGlobal — the shared settings designer OkurraGlobal is the second design panel of design mode — the sister of OkurraButton. Where OkurraButton deals with the five strategies (B1...B5), OkurraGlobal deals with everything that is shared b… Open
- 06 Companion Indicators The OkurraButton and OkurraGlobal panels let you *set* parameters. The companion indicators let you see them on price. This is the missing link of 'designing while seeing': you change the oscillato… Open
- 07 Saving and transferring configurations (.set) The `.set` file is the bridge between designing and execution — the only way a strategy designed in the panels reaches the robot (chapters 2.4 and 2.7). It is worth understanding well, because your… Open
- 08 The EA Panel The EA control panel is the graphical command center of the robot, drawn directly on the chart after launching the Okurra EA (chapter 3). It is a different panel than OkurraButton/OkurraGlobal — th… Log in
- 09 Button configuration — what the parameters mean Each button is an autonomous decision unit — a small state machine that looks at the market through its own lens (the OKUR oscillator with its own parameters) and reacts to defined conditions, gene… Log in
- 10 Filters: SAR, MMD Clouds, SR Box, OKUR Filter The OKUR engine (chapter 9) generates a signal when the oscillator meets the zone and trigger conditions. The engine itself does not look at the broader context — it does not know whether we are in… Log in
- 11 Activation Zones and Target Lines Filters (chapter 10) look at market context — they ask 'is SAR on my side', 'does MMD show a trend'. That is the perspective of *time* — what is happening *now*. Log in
- 12 Break Even Auto (BEa) and Auto-Arm Triggers BEa works in two roles: - Basket guardian — when price reaches the basket's weighted break-even plus a profit margin, BEa simultaneously closes all positions of the BEa basket of that direction. Wh… Log in
- 13 Stop on Opposite In the button's Activation & Exits section (chapter 9) each of the four filters has a separate reaction switch: *React on opposite SAR signal*, *...MMD signal*, *...SR signal*, *...OKUR signal*. Pl… Log in
- 14 Daily P/L Limits DPL is one of the three account guardians (chapter 1.5), next to Equity Guard and Profit Target (chapter 15). Each counts differently: Log in
- 15 Equity Guard, Basket Max Loss and Profit Target This layer also contains a third, simpler mechanism — Basket Max Loss — serving as a safety net on the basket's loss side (section 15.5). Log in
- 16 Trading Hours It controls the EA's availability to act. Unlike filters (which select *specific signals*), TH decides whether the EA is working at all right now. If TH disables trading at a given moment — no othe… Log in
- 17 Cross-button Triggers — Logical Sequences Until now the buttons have been independent strategy lanes — B1 does not know about B2 (chapter 1.4). That is still true at the level of *market signal generation* — each button's OKUR engine looks… Log in
- 18 Price Movement — price-travel sensors Until now you switched buttons on and off in three ways: by hand on the panel, through Follow BEa (chapter 12), or through Cross-button Triggers (chapter 17). All three react to the state of the sy… Log in
- 19 Trade Visualization Positions opened by the EA exist in three 'places': in the *Trade* tab (the list of current ones, a table), in the *History* tab (the list of closed ones, a table) and on the chart (graphically, at… Log in
- 20 Research Scenarios Six research scenarios — complete O!kurra configurations to copy on a demo account. Each has a different profile, a different level of complexity, a different observation goal. They are ordered fro… Log in
