MQL5 Developer Needed to Build Multi-Timeframe Forex Scalping Algorithm with Risk Management

Project Overview:

I am looking for an experienced MQL5 programmer to develop a scalping-based forex algorithm for MetaTrader 5. The strategy uses multi-timeframe EMA crossovers and is designed around psychological trading behavior, such as trend-following and belief-driven indicators.

This system must include fully adjustable parameters for timeframes, EMAs, ATR-based risk management, slope filters, breakeven settings, and trailing stops.

Core Strategy Logic:

🔹 Trade Entry Conditions

• Entry triggered by EMA crossover on the 5-minute chart

• Confirmation required from:

  • 15-minute chart EMA crossover in the same direction

  • Daily chart EMA crossover in the same direction

• All three must align before trade is placed

• Timeframes and EMA lengths should be fully user-adjustable

Technical Inputs & Configurations

🔸 EMA Settings (Per Timeframe, 3 timeframes used)

• Fast EMA

• Slow EMA

• Timeframe input (5M, 15M, 1D — fully customizable)

• Trade placed on lowest timeframe

🔸 Slope Threshold Filter

• Enable Slope Threshold? (Y/N) per timeframe

• If YES: define Slope Threshold Level (e.g., 0.0003 for 5M, etc.)

• Slope = (Current EMA – EMA N bars ago) / N

Risk Management (Per Trade - four trades in total)

✅ ATR-Based Take Profit & Stop Loss (if selected the ATR sets both the S/L and T/P level)

• ATR Sets Levels? (Y/N)

  • ATR Period

  • ATR Multiplier

  • Equity % Risk input

✅ ATR as Stop Loss Only? (Y/N)

• If YES:

  • SL = ATR * multiplier

  • TP can be based on either:

    • Equity %

    • Fixed pips

• If NO:

  • TP and SL both configurable as:

    • Equity %

    • Fixed pips

Trailing Stop Options

• Enable Trailing Stop? (Y/N)

  • Start trailing at:

    • ATR level OR

    • Fixed pip distance

  • Define trailing stop distance (pips)

Breakeven Settings (Per Trade)

• Enable Breakeven? (Y/N)

  • Move SL to breakeven when:

    • Trade is X pips in profit (user-defined)

  • Optional: add buffer (e.g., +2 pips above entry)

Global Trade Exit Rule

• All trades should close immediately if the 15-minute EMA crosses in the opposite direction of the open position.

Trade Capacity

• Allow up to 4 simultaneous trades

• Trades can have independent risk management settings

Ideal Candidate:

• Experience coding complex multi-timeframe systems

• Strong grasp of EMA logic, ATR, pip-based risk, and position management

• Familiar with breakeven and trailing stop architecture in MQL5

• Ability to deliver clean, well-documented code
