The EA now defines risk by percentage, fixed cash, or fixed lot and can measure percentage against balance or equity. It supports market, limit, and stop orders, sizes from the planned entry, and enforces spread‑aware stop minima. Additional safeguards include downward volume rounding, explicit handling when the minimum lot exceeds target risk, and pending‑order distance/expiry checks, organized under a Plan–Validate–Execute structure.

Risk-based lot sizing can still exceed what free margin allows. The article adds a margin-aware cap using OrderCalcMargin(), an optional adaptive cap that scales with ACCOUNT MARGIN LEVEL, and a single pre-trade validation gate that unifies position limits, risk sizing, and margin checks. Readers get concrete code to prevent order rejections and over-committing margin, with clear logs when a trade is reduced or skipped.

Part 5 moves risk control from single trades to a basket-level framework. The EA aggregates its own positions, computes volume‑weighted entry, floating P/L including swap, and used margin, then enforces limits on combined loss, margin, position count, and time underwater, while logging maximum adverse excursion. A companion mean‑reversion EA demonstrates target‑based sizing and caps on implied risk that remains hidden when trades are evaluated in isolation.

This part implements risk-based position sizing for the EA. Lot size is derived from account balance, a chosen risk percent, and ATR-based stop distance, then confined and rounded to the broker's volume rules and minimum stop levels. An optional drawdown-aware layer reduces risk during equity declines. Readers get a reproducible sizing function that keeps per-trade risk consistent and orders acceptable to the server.

The article implements a self-sufficient Adaptive SuperTrend EA with internal calculations on a selectable timeframe, avoiding external buffers and indicator files. It includes risk-based lot sizing, ATR stops, stepwise RR trailing, optional anti-repainting confirmation, and session control. Practitioners can reuse the structure for consistent new‑bar signal handling and broker‑compliant order validation.

This article focuses on EA architecture rather than signal design. Starting with a flawed Moving Average crossover EA, we add new‑bar detection to prevent duplicate entries, Magic Number and position awareness, ATR‑based risk levels, and data and trade result validation, along with basic safeguards. You obtain a practical base to build and test advanced systems.

The article upgrades SuperTrend by integrating a divergence engine (MPO4 or RSI) the dynamically reduces the ATR multiplier during weakening momentum. It covers the shrinking formula, non-repainting state propagation with dedicated buffers, and a step-by-step MQL5 implementation on the price chart. You will learn how to interpret arrows and line flips, adjust inputs, and apply the indicator for disciplined trailing and earlier confirmations.

We introduce MPO4, a pressure-based oscillator that emphasizes the body and direction of candles in the context of current volatility. The article details its mathematics, normalization into a bounded range, and the EMA smoothing, then builds a pivot-driven divergence module designed not to repaint. You get complete MQL5 implementation and practical guidance for interpreting signals, including a comparison with RSI as an alternative source.

This article implements a static, CSV-based news source for the Strategy Tester, so historical economic news events can be preloaded and queried during backtesting. It replaces live calendar calls in tester mode with a fast in-memory search, preserves the live logic for trading, and delivers deterministic, repeatable results with explicit control over included events, enabling reliable validation of news-aware filters, stop suspension, and trade-blocking rules.

The article introduces a restart-safe storage model for news-time stop removal. Suspension state and original SL/TP per position are written to terminal global variables, reconstructed on OnInit, and cleaned after restoration. This lets the EA resume an active suspension window after recompiles or restarts and restore stops only when the news window ends.

In Teil 2 erweitern wir den Nachrichtenfilter, um bestehende Positionen während Nachrichtenereignissen zu schützen. Anstatt Trades zu schließen, entfernen wir die Werte von Stop-Loss und Take-Profit vorübergehend und speichern sie sicher im Speicher. Wenn das Nachrichtenfenster endet, werden die Stopps deterministisch unter Einhaltung der Mindestabstände des Brokers wiederhergestellt und angepasst, falls der Kurs die ursprünglichen Niveaus bereits überschritten hat. Das Ergebnis ist ein Mechanismus, der die Handelslogik wahrt, ohne die Einstiegslogik zu beeinträchtigen, und dafür sorgt, dass der EA auch bei Volatilität die Kontrolle behält.

Wir entwickeln einen kalendergesteuerten Nachrichtenfilter vollständig in MQL5 und verzichten dabei auf Webanfragen und externe DLLs. Teil 1 behandelt das Laden und Zwischenspeichern von Ereignissen, deren Zuordnung zu Symbolen nach Währung, das Filtern nach Bedeutung, die Definition von Vor- und Nachlaufzeitfenstern sowie das Sperren neuer Trades während aktiver Nachrichten, mit der optionalen Möglichkeit, Positionen vor Nachrichtenereignissen zu schließen. Das Ergebnis ist ein konfigurierbarer, prop-firm-tauglicher Kontrollmechanismus, der falsche Handelspausen vermeidet und Einstiegspunkte bei hohen Schwankungen schützt.
