Specification
Overview
I am seeking a high-level MQL5 developer to develop and finalize a professional-grade MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor (EA) for trading XAUUSD (Gold).
This is not a beginner project — the EA requires structured logic, efficient coding, and strict adherence to risk management principles.
Strategy Summary
The EA is based on a multi-indicator confluence system combining:
- Parabolic SAR → trend direction
- MACD → momentum confirmation
- RSI → entry filter
- ATR → dynamic SL/TP
Execution must only occur when all conditions align.
Entry Logic
BUY Conditions:
- Price above SAR
- MACD main > signal
- RSI < 65
SELL Conditions:
- Price below SAR
- MACD main < signal
- RSI > 35
Execution Model
- Timeframe: M15
- Instrument: XAUUSD (primary focus)
- Max trades: 3 per session
- Max sessions: 3 per day
- EA must strictly respect session timing
Risk & Capital Management
- Risk per trade: 0.3% – 0.5% (dynamic lot sizing)
- SL: ATR-based (multiplier configurable)
- TP: Minimum 2R (configurable)
- Daily profit target: configurable (2%–3%)
- Daily stop loss: 0.5%
- Max drawdown cap: 1%
The EA must stop trading automatically when limits are reached.
Core Requirements
1. Clean MQL5 Architecture
- Must use proper MQL5 structure (OnInit, OnTick, indicator handles, CopyBuffer, etc.)
- No MQL4-style shortcuts
- Optimized for performance
2. Session Engine
- Configurable session start/end times
- Reset trade count per session
- Prevent trading outside sessions
3. Compounding Logic
- Dynamic lot sizing based on equity
- Maintain fixed % risk regardless of balance
4. Dashboard (On-Chart UI)
Display:
- Current equity
- Session profit (%)
- Remaining trades
- Active signal (BUY / SELL / NONE)
5. Licensing System
- Single-user key validation
- EA must not run if key is invalid
Optional (Highly Preferred)
- Spread filter (max spread control)
- News filter (disable trading during high-impact news)
- Trailing stop / break-even logic
- Equity protection lock
Deliverables
- Clean .mq5 source code
- Compiled .ex5 file
- Brief documentation or usage notes
- Bug-free compilation (zero errors)
Developer Requirements
- Proven experience with MT5 Expert Advisors
- Strong understanding of:
- Indicator buffers (CopyBuffer)
- Trade execution (MqlTradeRequest)
- Risk management systems
- Ability to follow logic strictly without altering strategy
Timeline
- 2–5 days (fast turnaround preferred)
Budget
- Flexible for the right developer (quality over price)
Important
This project may lead to long-term collaboration for upgrades and additional EAs.
Please include:
- Previous EA projects
- Sample code or portfolio
- Estimated delivery time
Only experienced MQL5 developers should apply.
