Specification

Hello, I am looking for a highly skilled MQL5 developer to code a complex "Bi-directional Grid Hedge" EA. I have the reference settings from a previous EA, but I need to upgrade the static grid distance to a Dynamic ATR-based distance and implement strict account protection features.

Crucial Requirement: ALL variables, limits, and settings MUST be fully adjustable manually (Inputs) via the EA's properties window.

1. Core Logic (The Bi-Directional Grid System):
* Initial Trade: The EA opens a single initial directional trade.
* If it hits Target: Trade closes, wait for next setup.
* Recovery & Hedging (When in Drawdown): If the initial trade goes into DD, the EA activates a dual-grid system:
  - It opens Averaging trades for the losing direction (e.g., more Buys) using a Multiplier (e.g., 1.08).
  - Simultaneously, it opens a Counter-trade (e.g., Sell) to capture the trend reversal.
  - Crucial Rule: If the price reverses again, the counter-trades will also go into DD. The EA must then average those counter-trades as well. Essentially, it manages an independent "Buy Grid" and an independent "Sell Grid" simultaneously based on price movement.

2. The Core Upgrade: Dynamic ATR Spacing (NO STATIC DISTANCE):
* Do not use a static distance (like 100 pips).
* The distance for opening ANY new grid/hedge trade MUST be calculated dynamically using the ATR indicator.
* Logic: Grid Step Distance = Current ATR Value * ATR_Multiplier.
* The EA must recalculate this distance dynamically as volatility changes.

3. Basket Closure & Critical Safety Limits:
* Basket TP (Lock Minimum Profit): Close ALL open trades (both grids) when the combined total profit reaches a specific dollar amount (e.g., $500).
* Equity Stop Loss (Lock Drawdown %): If the combined floating drawdown hits a set percentage of the account (e.g., 10%), close ALL trades immediately.
* The "Cooldown" Timer: If the Equity SL (10% DD) is triggered, the EA MUST pause all trading activities for a user-defined number of minutes (Cooldown Input). This prevents instant re-entry during a market crash.
* One Trade Per Bar: To avoid rapid-fire order execution during spikes, the EA must only open a maximum of ONE trade per candle (per direction).

4. News Filter:
* Standard News Filter (stop trading X mins before/after Medium/High impact news).
* Exception Rule: If the EA is already in an active Grid/Hedge cycle (Recovery Mode), it must ignore the news filter and continue managing the open grids to resolve the cycle.

Required Inputs for the User Interface (Must be fully customizable):
* Start Lot / Multiplier / Max Buy Orders / Max Sell Orders.
* ATR Period / ATR Multiplier.
* Lock Minimum Profit (in USD).
* Lock Drawdown (%) / Cooldown Timer (in Minutes).
* News Filter settings (True/False, Mins before/after, URL setup).
* Magic Number / Slippage.

Important Notes:* The EA must be fully compatible and optimized for highly volatile assets, specifically Gold (XAUUSD) and Bitcoin (BTCUSD). 
* The code must dynamically handle different point/pip calculations perfectly for both symbols.
* I test exclusively on 'Every tick based on real ticks'. The logic must be flawless with zero execution errors, margin errors, or order spamming.
* The raw .mq5 source code must be provided upon completion.
