The bundle has 3 products: 1 indicator + 2 free companion EAs.
- A. Strong Trend Dip Hunter (indicator) — the brain; trade manually or use as a signal source.
- B. SDH Trade Engine EA — auto-executes signals.
- C. SDH Telegram Signals EA — relays signals to Telegram.
⚠️ Risk: Trading involves risk; past results do not guarantee future results. The auto EA has no daily-loss
limit enabled by default and should be run on Demo / Strategy Tester first. Manage your own risk.
⚡ Quick start (3 steps)
- Attach the indicator to an XAUUSD H1 chart → see the trend cloud + arrows + Entry/SL/4 TP.
- To auto-trade → attach SDH Trade Engine EA to the same chart.
- To receive Telegram signals → enable scanner publishing on the indicator + attach SDH Telegram Signals EA (see Part C).
🎯 Recommended trading conditions
- Timeframe: prefer H1 and above (H1, H4, D1) — cleaner, steadier signals. In a strong, clear trend you may use M5 / M15 for earlier entries, but pay EXTRA attention to risk management (smaller lots, disciplined SL, fewer trades) — lower timeframes are noisier.
- High-liquidity symbols (recommended): XAUUSD (Gold) as the primary, plus forex majors EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF. Avoid exotic / wide-spread pairs (less reliable signals).
- Time of day: the US (New York) session is recommended — best liquidity and volatility; most active during the London–New York overlap (~13:00–17:00 UTC). Limit the quiet Asian session and avoid high-impact news spikes.
Part A — Indicator (Strong Trend Dip Hunter)
A1. Install
- Copy StrongTrendDipHunter.ex5 to MQL5/Indicators/ (or auto-install from MQL5 Market).
- MT5: Insert → Indicators → Custom → Strong Trend Dip Hunter , or drag from Navigator.
- Recommended start: XAUUSD, H1.
A2. Read the chart
- Trend cloud: green = up, red = down. Trade only with the cloud.
- Up arrow (green) = BUY setup · down arrow (red) = SELL setup. Prints at candle close, no repaint.
- Lines + zones: Entry, SL (red), TP1–TP4 (green). Red zone = risk, green zone = reward.
A3. Manual entry
- Enter at Entry. 2. Set Stop-Loss at the SL line. 3. Pick TP by style (TP1 safest → TP4 lets it run).
- As price moves your way, trail your stop manually along price structure (e.g. below the latest swing low for a long).
📌 Finding a setting: the MT5 Inputs tab shows the descriptive LABEL (not the variable name),
grouped under === ... === sections. Below, every setting is given as "label" (group) so you can locate it.
A4. Win-rate dashboard
Enable "Show the win-rate panel" (Quick start group). Shows per-TP hit rate, net pips, signal & bar counts.
→ Use it to choose sensible TP targets per pair/timeframe.
A5. Multi-timeframe scanner
Enable "Run the multi-timeframe scanner" + "Show the signal table on the chart" (Quick start group) → a grid scanning symbols × timeframes (M1–D1), highlighting live signals.
Choose symbols/timeframes in the === Scanner === group; enable "Show only symbols with a live signal" to show only pairs with a live signal.
A6. Backtest before going live
Ctrl+R → choose pair/timeframe → Visual mode → watch signals + read the backtest-wide stats on the panel.
A7. Input groups in the Inputs tab (find by label)
- === Quick start ===: "Run the multi-timeframe scanner", "Show the signal table on the chart", "Send signals to the trading robot (EA)", "Only take entries aligned with the trend", "Show SL / TP lines", "Shade risk + reward zones", "Show the trend cloud", "Recolour candles by trend", "Show the win-rate panel".
- === Signal & trend ===: "Fast trend speed", "Slow trend speed", "Main trend line length", "ATR length for SL/TP sizing", "Min break past swing (× ATR)" — defaults 3 / 20 / 50 / 14 / 0.1.
- === Targets (SL / TP / Trail) ===: "SL method (ATR = recommended)", "SL distance = ATR × this" (=3.0), "TP1..TP4 = risk × this" (0.5 / 1 / 2 / 3).
- === Scanner === (pick scan symbols & timeframes) · === Alerts === (pop-up/sound/push) · === Appearance === (colors).
- Recommended: keep defaults for XAUUSD H1.
Part B — SDH Trade Engine EA (auto-trade)
B1. Install & attach
- Copy SdhTradeEngineEA.ex5 to MQL5/Experts/ .
- Enable AutoTrading (Algo Trading button).
- Attach the Strong Trend Dip Hunter indicator AND this EA to the SAME chart (same symbol/timeframe).
- The EA reads the indicator's drawn signals and places real orders — it recomputes nothing.
B2. Important settings (find by label in the Inputs tab)
- === Lot detail === → "Lot mode: % equity risk / Fixed lot / Fixed money risk" (lot sizing) + "Which TP to use as the order TP (TP1..TP4)" (which TP to close at).
- === Quick start === → "Trade direction: Both / Buy only / Sell only" (direction filter).
- === Position management === → "Global cap: max total open trades, chart + scan (0 = off)" (max open trades; default 0 = off).
- === Quick start === → "Auto-trade the indicator's scan signals" (default OFF) + "Magic for scan trades" (must match the indicator) — enable to also trade multi-timeframe scan signals.
- Each trade keeps a fixed SL/TP (the EA does not trail — set-and-forget).
B3. On-chart status panel
Enable "Show the status panel (connection, signal, levels, lot, P/L)" (Status panel group). Shows indicator-connection state, signal-follow, current levels, lot mode. If it shows "no signal/connection" → check the indicator is on the same chart.
B4. Safe rollout
- Strategy Tester (Visual) over several months → verify entries/exits.
- Demo for ≥1–2 weeks.
- Go live with small lots. The EA has no built-in daily-loss limit → manage risk yourself (max-open cap, manual stop).

Full bot creation + chat ID + whitelist steps:
../260611-sdh-2ea-bundle-campaign/telegram-bot-chatid-setup-en.md . Quick summary below.
C1. Prerequisites
- Bot Token — message @BotFather → /newbot → get the token.
- Chat ID — of the DM/group/channel (groups look like -100… ). Fast way: add @getidsbot to the group.
- Whitelist WebRequest: MT5 → Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → tick Allow WebRequest → add https://api.telegram.org .

| Label in the Inputs tab (group) | Value |
|---|---|
| "Bot token from @BotFather" (Telegram) | token from @BotFather |
| "Chat id (positive = DM; -100… = group/channel)" (Telegram) | chat ID |
| "MUST equal indicator InpScanPublishMagic" (Scan source) | 920608 (= indicator magic) |
| "How often to poll…" / "Ignore a scan signal older…" / "Max Telegram messages per poll…" (Scan source) | 5 / 300 / 5 (defaults) |
C4. Verify
The Experts tab shows [SDH-TG] started… → wait for a new signal → Telegram receives it within seconds.
Quick test: open https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/sendMessage?chat_id=<CHATID>&text=Test in a browser.
Quick FAQ
- No signals? → check the trend cloud (trade only with it), the "Only take entries aligned with the trend" setting, and enough bar history.
- EA not trading? → enable Algo Trading; indicator + EA on the same chart; (Telegram) magic must match on both sides.
- Telegram not sending? → whitelist https://api.telegram.org ; correct token/chat ID; indicator is publishing ("Send signals to the trading robot (EA)" is ON).
- Bot token leaked? → /revoke in @BotFather, update the "Bot token from @BotFather" field
