Specification

Budget depends on experience and quality.
I prefer to start with a semi-auto version first, and later upgrade to a full-auto version if the logic works correctly. I need a custom semi-automatic MT5 Expert Advisor for US30 based on an ICT/SMC-style workflow.

This is NOT a martingale, grid, scalping spam, or arbitrage bot.

I want a clean semi-auto trading assistant that helps me identify and execute high-quality setups manually, with strict prop-firm-friendly risk management.

Main purpose:
The EA should assist me in finding and confirming setups, but I will decide whether to take the trade. It should not open trades fully automatically in this first version.

Symbol:
- US30 only

Timeframes:
- 15m for higher-timeframe bias
- 3m for setup logic
- 1m for entry confirmation

What the semi-auto EA should do:

1. Higher-timeframe bias detection
- Detect bullish / bearish bias on 15m
- Consider structure, premium/discount, supply/demand, and FVG areas

2. Zone marking
- Automatically mark important 15m and 3m FVG zones
- Highlight relevant supply / demand or reaction areas

3. Liquidity sweep detection
- Detect sweep of local highs and lows
- Mark buy-side liquidity sweep and sell-side liquidity sweep

4. MSS / CHoCH detection
- Detect market structure shift / change of character on 1m and/or 3m
- Configurable to use wick-break or candle-close confirmation

5. FVG detection after structure break
- After a valid MSS/CHoCH, detect the newly created bullish or bearish FVG
- Mark the potential retest zone

6. Entry signal
- Once all conditions align, show a clear signal such as:
  - Short setup ready
  - Long setup ready
- Alert should only appear after:
  - HTF bias aligns
  - liquidity sweep occurred
  - MSS/CHoCH confirmed
  - fresh FVG identified

7. Manual entry panel
I want a small on-chart panel with:
- Buy button
- Sell button
- automatic lot size based on risk %
- prefilled stop loss
- optional take profit levels
- optional break-even and partial settings

Risk management:
- configurable risk per trade
- default 0.25%
- max trades per day
- max daily loss
- session filters
- spread filter

Session filter:
- London session
- New York session
- configurable trading windows

News filter:
- if possible, include a high-impact USD news lock
- no new signals/trades X minutes before and after important news
- if live API is not possible, support manual CSV/news file

Important:
This first version must remain SEMI-AUTOMATIC.
It should not place trades by itself unless I click manually.

What I need from the developer:
- clean and structured code
- configurable inputs
- chart-friendly display
- backtestable logic where possible
- screenshots or examples of similar MT5 tools if available

Please reply only if you have experience with MT5 / MQL5 and structure-based or smart-money-style tools.
Please mention whether you have built:
- FVG tools
- market structure tools
- liquidity sweep logic
- semi-auto trade panels
