EMA Trend Pullback Strategy with Candle Color Filter & News Filter

MQL5 Experts

Job finished

Execution time 29 days

Specification

1. General Overview:

I am looking for an experienced developer to fix and optimize an existing MQL5 Expert Advisor (or rewrite it if cleaner). The strategy is a mechanical trend-following system based on 3 Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It trades the pullback (retracement) to a specific EMA.


The Logic (Abstracted):

  • Indicators: Three EMAs (Fast, Medium, Slow). Standard values will be provided privately.

  • Trend Definition: Price is above/below the Slow EMA.

  • Entry Trigger:

    1. Price pushes away from the Fast EMA (Expansion).

    2. Price retraces back to the Medium EMA.

    3. Crucial Filter (The "Clean Move"): The retracement to the Medium EMA must happen without any opposing candle colors (e.g., for a Long setup, the pullback must consist ONLY of bearish candles until the touch). If a bullish candle appears before the touch, the setup is invalid.

  • Risk Management:

    • Stop Loss at the last Swing High/Low.

    • Take Profit at the Fast EMA.

    • Minimum Risk-Reward-Ratio (RRR) check before entry.

3. Current Issues / Bugs to Fix: I have a prototype code, but it has logic errors that need to be fixed:

  • Multiple Entries: The bot currently opens multiple trades on the same setup/swing. It needs a "Unique ID" logic per Swing High/Low. 

  • Strict Rule: Only one trade attempt per valid Swing High/Low structure.

  • Loop/Logic Error: Sometimes the "Clean Move" filter is ignored.

4. Requirements:

  • Money Management: Adjustable Lot Size.

  • News Filter: Integration of a News Filter to stop trading during High Impact News.

  • Code Quality: Clean, commented source code (mq5). No DLL imports.

  • Visuals: Debug comments on the chart (e.g., marking the "valid" swing).

5. Deliverables:

  • Fully functional .ex5 and .mq5 file.

  • Backtest results proving the "One Trade per Swing" fix works.
