Improve Existing Pullback + DCA EA with Better Structure and Trade Filtering

Job finished

Execution time 11 days
Feedback from customer
Professional and patient developer. Understood the EA logic well, improved coordination clearly, and communicated in a structured way. Open to feedback and good to work with.

Specification

I am looking for an experienced MQL5 developer to improve an existing forex EA, not build a completely new robot from zero.

Important note:
I use GPT to help me write because my English is limited. The wording may be assisted by GPT, but the trading issues, testing observations, and improvement goals are real from my side. I need a developer who is patient, understands strategy logic well, and can explain the implementation clearly before coding.

Current EA logic includes:
- Bias as strategic direction filter
- EMA as trend alignment guide
- Higher-timeframe RSI as regime / permission filter
- Lower-timeframe RSI as entry timing trigger
- ATR as volatility / danger filter
- DCA as basket position management

What I want to improve:
I want the EA to trade pullbacks more accurately and filter trades more intelligently based on market condition.

Current improvement areas:
- improve pullback entry quality
- avoid weak counter-trend entries during strong momentum
- improve breakout and transition handling
- improve coordination between direction, timing, and basket logic

Additional logic idea for discussion:
I am exploring an added market-structure layer to help the EA understand:
- market structure
- pullback quality
- breakout pressure
- turning-point / transition conditions
- when a counter-trend trade is unsafe
- when a true reversal may be forming

Optional ideas for discussion:
- swing high / swing low awareness
- liquidity / breakout awareness
- structure-based permission layer
- optional FVG or pullback zone filter only if practical
- optional direction lock mode:
  once a BUY basket is active, no SELL until all BUY trades are closed, and vice versa

Additional visual requirement:
During live/demo testing, I want chart visualization closer to backtest visual understanding.

I want stable on-chart markers for:
- Buy entry
- Sell entry
- Close in profit
- Close in loss

These markers should remain visible and stable during normal chart use, and should not disappear easily after timeframe change or refresh.

What I want from the developer first:
1. Review my concept
2. Tell me what is feasible and what is too complex
3. Suggest the cleanest logic structure
4. Explain the concept back to me clearly before development
5. Backtest first before any long demo stage

Important:
To avoid misunderstanding before development, I may ask a few short clarification questions during discussion to confirm we have the same understanding of the EA concept and logic flow.

Please reply only if you:
- have strong experience with MQL5 forex EA logic
- understand pullback trading, breakout behavior, trend filters, and DCA/basket logic
- can improve existing code carefully instead of coding blindly
- are comfortable discussing strategy logic clearly before development

When replying, please explain:
- your experience with similar EA logic
- whether you understand the concept above
- how you would simplify or structure the next phase
- estimated cost and timeline
