Two weeks ago I wrote here about the payrolls candle and why a breakout system has no business trading it. The argument was simple: a level only means something if someone was defending it, and during a scheduled release nobody is...
Building a Manual Trade Manager Panel in MQL5 — A Design Walkthrough How I turned a decade of manual trading habits into a single on-chart panel — and what I learned about broker quirks, slow servers, and dragging lines that refuse to stay horizontal...
Building an Anchored VWAP + EMA Crossover Indicator in MQL5 — A Concept Walkthrough How I combined anchored VWAP with a 9-period EMA to create a single, bias-gated signal system — and the design decisions that keep it clean...
Building MACD-Based Support & Resistance Levels in MQL5 — A Concept Walkthrough How I turned MACD crossovers into horizontal price levels — and the design decisions that keep the chart from turning into noise...
Building ATR-Adaptive Buy/Sell Zones in MQL5 — A Design Walkthrough How I turned a simple idea — "draw zones at swing highs and lows, sized by volatility" — into a clean, non-cluttering indicator, and the design principles behind it...
Why I Built a Non-Repainting SMC Indicator — And What I Learned Along the Way A personal note on indicator design, Smart Money Concepts, and the discipline of not lying to yourself on the chart...
Last week confirmed the main scenario: the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2023, taking the rate to 4.00%. The move was expected but failed to calm markets: the Dow lost 600 points, while the ECB’s tightening cycle at 2.65% was joined by a stronger dollar...
A strategy can look attractive under its reference execution assumptions and lose most of its profit when those assumptions become less favorable. That does not necessarily mean the signal logic stopped working...

I Got Tired of Sending Backtests as a Pile of Screenshots — So I Built a Better Format There is one small part of working with trading robots that becomes surprisingly annoying over time. Running a backtest is easy. Getting the chart, statistics, inputs, trade list, and tester report is also easy...

Every EA I run has a hard EUR-based loss cap as a last-resort safety net - a broker-side backstop against slippage, not the real stop. Yesterday I found mine had quietly become the ONLY stop firing on every single trade. The cap (0...
Every week someone posts a gold EA with a win rate above 95% and an equity curve that goes up like a staircase. I wanted to know whether that is a strategy or an accounting trick, so over the last month I built three grid systems for XAUUSD and tested each one until it told me the truth...
Trading seems simple until you start trading with your own money. There is a price chart, a few candlesticks, Buy and Sell buttons — it may seem that all you need to do is figure out where the market is going, open a trade, and take the profit...
A backtest with an 8% maximum drawdown tells you what happened along one historical path. It does not establish an 8% limit on future losses. Even the same set of trades can produce a different interim drawdown when losses arrive in a different order...
