ASQ Trade Frequency Controller - library for MetaTrader 5

Your EA's signal logic is good — but some days it trades too much, other days too little. ASQ Frequency Controller scales 8 filter parameters simultaneously with a single factor, letting you dial trade frequency up or down without touching your entry logic. Switch between Ultra-Conservative and Scalper mode with one button. The auto-frequency mode reads ATR and adjusts for you.

FEATURES:

- 5 frequency modes — Ultra-Conservative (0.5x), Conservative (0.75x), Normal (1.0x), Aggressive (1.5x), Scalper (2.0x)

- 8 filter parameters scaled dynamically — cooldown, spread tolerance, ATR range, min bars, min distance, signal strength thresholds

- Runtime +/- fine-tuning with configurable step size

- Auto-frequency from volatility — pass current ATR, frequency adapts to market conditions automatically

- Daily trade limiter — SetMaxTradesPerDay() caps entries, auto-resets at midnight

- Effective values snapshot — GetSnapshot() returns all scaled values in a single struct for dashboard use

- Interactive chart buttons — click to switch modes or fine-tune factor

- Safe floors on signal thresholds — strength never drops below 0.2/0.3 even at 3.0x

HOW THE SCALING WORKS:

Higher frequency factor = MORE trades accepted:

— Cooldown: divided (shorter wait between trades)

— Max spread: multiplied (wider spreads accepted)

— Min ATR: divided (lower volatility accepted)

— Min bars: divided (fewer bars between entries)

— Min distance: divided (closer to existing positions)

— Signal strength: divided by sqrt (weaker signals accepted, with floor)

DEMO EA INCLUDED:

Attach to any chart for the interactive dashboard:

— Mode selector with 5 buttons (UC/CONS/NORM/AGGR/SCALP) plus +/- fine-tuning

— Frequency factor visualization bar

— Base vs Effective comparison table for all 8 filter parameters

— Daily trade counter with remaining trades

— Auto-frequency status

USAGE

 #include "ASQ_FrequencyControl.mqh"
CASQFrequencyControl freq;
freq.Initialize(1.0, 0.25, 0.25, 3.0);
freq.SetBaseFilters(60, 1.5, 0.3, 5.0, 3, 10.0, 0.5, 0.6);
freq.SetMode(ASQ_FREQ_NORMAL);
freq.SetMaxTradesPerDay(10);
int cooldown = freq.GetEffectiveCooldownSec();
if(freq.CanTradeToday()) { /* entry logic */ }
