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.

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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
  21. 21 Troubleshooting Before you jump to a specific symptom — a few principles that resolve most cases. Open
  22. 22 FAQ — the most common questions In the final chapter — the Glossary: an alphabetical list of terms with short definitions and references to chapters. A reference point for when, while reading, you come across a term whose meaning… Open
  23. 23 Glossary An alphabetical list of terms used in the manual. Each term has a short definition (1–3 sentences) and a pointer to the chapter where the topic is discussed in detail. Search with Ctrl+F. Open
