Hello,

I have written an article based on my experience developing a multi-market Expert Advisor, and I would like to present its topic and outline for preliminary editorial review.

The article addresses a challenge that becomes critical when an EA trades across 20 markets: how do you make those markets operate as one coordinated system without allowing their combined risk to threaten the account?

Building an EA that can trade multiple symbols is only the starting point. The central subject of my article is the architecture above the individual strategies: a global management system that supervises their activity, coordinates their decisions, controls the account’s total exposure, and automates risk management according to the investor’s chosen profile.

I explain the development process and the steps needed to build that management layer. Each market retains its own strategy and settings, but none operates in isolation from the account’s overall risk. Before a new trade is allowed, the higher-level system evaluates existing positions and the limits that apply to the portfolio as a whole. It also monitors the daily loss limit and manages position closing within a defined server-time window.

My goal is to show how a trader can automate activity across 20 markets while keeping those markets synchronized and monitored by a common risk-management architecture. The focus is not simply on finding more entries. It is on making multiple strategies coexist safely within one account.

Proposed title: How to Structure a Multi-Market EA to Control Simultaneous Exposure, Daily Losses, and Position Closing

Proposed outline:

1. Why I wanted to build a multi-market EA

2. The first problem: trading many markets also multiplies risk

3. How to build a multi-market EA from scratch

4. Why controlling risk per trade alone is not enough

5. How to control simultaneous exposure

6. How to control the maximum daily loss for the entire account

7. How to manage global position closing before the end of the trading day

8. Problems during development and key lessons

9. Conclusion: the real challenge of a multi-market EA

I would appreciate the editorial team’s assessment of whether this subject and outline are suitable for publication in the MQL5 Articles section. Please also let me know what level of MQL5 implementation detail or code you would expect in the final article. I can adapt the material to your requirements before submitting it for formal review.

Thank you for your consideration.
