MQL5 Expert Advisor Development for Futures Trading Strategy (Debugging & Testing)

Specification

1. General Objective

Development of an Expert Advisor in MQL5 intended for Futures markets, based on an existing trading strategy that I will provide (described logic or precise rules).

The main objectives are:

  • Faithful implementation of the strategy,
  • Full debugging of the EA,
  • Validation of correct behavior through backtesting.

2. Markets and Instruments

  • Markets: Futures
  • Symbols: to be defined (e.g. indices, commodities, or specific futures contracts)
  • Timeframes: to be specified (e.g. M5, M15, H1)

3. Trading Logic

The Expert Advisor must include:

  • Clearly separated Buy / Sell entry conditions
  • Exit conditions:
    • Take Profit
    • Stop Loss
    • Conditional exit (if applicable)
  • Only one position per symbol at a time (unless otherwise specified)

The exact strategy rules will be:

  • either clearly described within this project,
  • or provided as pseudo-code or an attached document.

4. Risk and Position Management

  • Lot size:
    • fixed or
    • dynamically calculated (capital percentage or risk per trade)
  • All parameters must be adjustable via EA inputs
  • Proper handling of execution errors (requotes, market closed, etc.)

5. Debugging and Reliability

The developer must:

  • fix any existing logic or execution errors
  • ensure that the EA:
    • does not open multiple unwanted positions
    • strictly follows the defined rules
  • deliver clean, well-structured, and commented code

6. Testing and Validation

  • Testing in MT5 Strategy Tester
  • Visual verification of the EA’s behavior
  • The EA must run without errors in the Experts and Journal tabs

7. Expected Deliverables

  • Source file .mq5
  • Compiled file .ex5
  • Simple usage instructions (in code comments or message)

8. Out of Scope

  • No guarantee of financial performance
  • No advanced optimization unless agreed separately
  • No external connections (APIs, web services, databases)

9. Communication

All communication will take place exclusively through the MQL5 Freelance platform.
