Checked on your account
What retail-mode validation covers.
- XAUUSD symbol validation
- Resolves OANDA’s gold symbol, confirms it exists and is enabled for trading on your account.
- Spread checks
- Current and typical gold spread verified against the strategy’s tolerance, with a warning before trading through wide spreads.
- Lot-size validation
- Volume min/max/step checked so every order the risk preset produces is legal on your account.
- Stop-level validation
- SL/TP distances validated against broker stop and freeze levels before any order is sent.
- Broker login binding
- Your license binds to your OANDA MT5 login, which protects your seat and prevents key sharing.
- Account compatibility
- Demo vs live, currency, leverage and filling modes probed and recorded in your compatibility report.
Retail sizing follows your balance and the retail risk profile; there is no prop-firm rule set, but the daily-loss and drawdown protections still apply.
