# 🚀 MT5 Set‑File Specialist Needed – Robust Presets for Existing Scalper EA (Prop‑Firm Conditions)
## Project Overview
I already have a fully coded MT5 Expert Advisor (`MultiSymbol_Scalper_EA.mq5`) that trades a mean‑reversion / scalping framework.
I am **not** looking for a new EA or strategy code. I need an experienced MT5 quant/optimizer to build **robust .set files** for multiple FX pairs under strict **prop‑firm style** testing conditions.
**IMPORTANT: All communication must be in English.**
---
## Symbols and Scope
Initial list of pairs (this may expand later):
- EURUSD
- USDJPY
- GBPUSD
- GBPJPY
- USDCAD
- EURGBP
- AUDUSD
- AUDNZD
You can indicate which of these you are confident to cover; we can agree final scope and budget per symbol.
---
## Testing Rules (Must Follow Exactly)
All optimisation and validation must be done **inside MT5 Strategy Tester** using:
- **Modelling**: `Every tick based on real ticks`
- **Execution**: `Random delay` (to simulate real execution, not idealised backtests)
- **Data range**: Normally **Jan 2024 → present**, or as I specify per symbol
- **Account style**: Prop‑firm style (e.g. initial balance 5 000 USD, leverage 1:30 – exact details will be provided)
- **Forward test split**: At least **30–40%** of the total period dedicated to forward testing (out‑of‑sample)
For each candidate preset, the **forward period** metrics are what matter most.
### Minimum Performance Targets (Per Symbol)
On the **forward** segment:
- **Profit Factor**: ≥ **1.30**
- **Max equity drawdown**: ≤ **10%**
- **Total trades (back + forward)**: ≥ **60 trades**
(I prefer more trades if PF and DD stay acceptable.)
Backtest PF can be higher, but I will reject any presets that only look good in‑sample and collapse in forward.
---
## Your Task
For each agreed symbol:
1. Design and run optimisations / walk‑forward style tests to search for **robust** parameter combinations.
2. Produce at least **one main preset** per symbol that meets the performance targets above under the specified test conditions.
3. Optionally provide **1–2 alternate presets** per symbol where there is a clear trade‑off, e.g.:
- Higher PF but fewer trades, or
- More trades but slightly higher DD.
4. Avoid obvious over‑fitting:
- No extreme parameter values that only fire a few times.
- Preferring smooth performance across multiple months rather than a single hot period.
**Important:** This job is about **inputs only**. Do **not** change the strategy logic or code unless we explicitly agree a small, well‑defined modification.
---
## Deliverables
For each symbol you work on:
1. **Preset Files**
- `.set` files with clear names (e.g. `EURUSD_Prop_M5_Main.set`, `USDJPY_Prop_M5_Alt1.set`).
2. **Test Evidence**
- Screenshots of MT5 Strategy Tester **Backtest** and **Forward** result pages, showing:
- Profit Factor
- Max equity drawdown (absolute and %)
- Total trades
- Test period and modelling settings (Every tick + Random delay)
3. **Short Notes**
- 2–4 lines per preset describing:
- Overall style (conservative / balanced / aggressive)
- Any notable behaviour (e.g. more active during London/NY, more sensitive to spreads, etc.)
---
## What I’m Looking For in a Freelancer
- Strong experience with **MT5 optimisation and robustness testing**.
- Comfortable working with:
- Forward testing / walk‑forward validation
- Parameter range design (not brute‑force random overfitting)
- Reading and interpreting PF/DD/trade‑count trade‑offs.
- Ideally: prior experience preparing EAs for **prop firms** (FTMO, 5%ers, etc.).
### In Your Proposal, Please Include
- A brief description of similar work you have done (optimising EAs, building set files).
- How you normally avoid **overfitting** (e.g. forward testing, multiple date ranges, parameter clustering, etc.).
- An indication of:
- How many symbols from the list you can realistically cover, and
- Your estimated price **per symbol** or for the whole package.
---
## Project Timeline & Budget
- Timeline: Flexible, but I prefer staged delivery (e.g. 2–3 symbols first, then the rest).
- Budget: To be discussed based on number of symbols and your experience. Please quote a **per‑symbol** price in your bid.
---
## Important Notes
- **No new EA coding is required** – this is an optimisation / research job on an existing EA.
- **All communication must be in English.**
- I reserve the right to request reasonable adjustments if a preset shows signs of overfitting when I re‑test it on my side.

Yes, that is exactly what I need. The bot should not be restricted to a fixed list of currency pairs. It should technically scan all available Quotex pairs in real time and automatically select the pair where the market conditions are strongest. The bot should analyze each pair using multiple confirmations, such as short-term price momentum, trend direction, market structure, support/resistance, candle formation
