Version 4.6
2025.02.12
This update introduces two new inputs to give users more control over position management:
Minimum Profit: Specifies the minimum profit in account currency required to trigger a position closure. Setting it to 0 allows the EA to automatically decide when to close the position based on market conditions. Setting this to a custom value will increase risk!
Take Profit in points: Defines the take profit level in points. When set to 0, this feature is disabled, and the EA will not automatically close positions based on it's internal calculations and risk level.
These updates provide more flexibility in customizing position exit strategies, allowing you to fine-tune your trading preferences for improved risk management and profit-taking.
Version 4.5
2025.02.10
This update enhances the trading time configuration feature of the EA by introducing a more flexible and robust method for setting trading hours.
The key improvements include:
Flexible Input Formats: Users can now specify trading hours in various formats such as "2:30-22:30" or "2-22". If only the start time is provided (2 or 2:30), the system automatically sets the end time to 23:59 so it will trade all day starting from that hour:minute.
Per-Day Configuration: The update supports individual trading hour inputs for Monday through Friday. This allows precise control over trading sessions for each weekday.
Improved Input Validation: A new validation mechanism checks that the input strings contain only permitted characters (digits, colon, and dash). If any invalid characters are detected—such as letters or unsupported symbols—a warning is issued, and the EA initialization fails. This prevents the EA from running with incorrect or malformed trading time data.
Version 4.4
2025.02.09
Added support for accounts in SGD currency, expanding compatibility with more account types.
Version 4.3
2025.02.08
We've fixed an issue where the EA would still use its internal system to determine the maximum spread, even when a custom value was set manually. Now, if you specify a max spread, the EA will strictly follow your input without overriding it.
This ensures more precise control over trade execution, especially for users with specific broker conditions.
Version 4.2
2025.02.07
Added support for accounts in CAD currency, expanding compatibility with more account types.
Improved news time handling – the EA will now stop opening new entries during news events but will still allow the recovery mechanism to function, ensuring better trade management.
This update enhances adaptability while maintaining risk control in volatile market conditions.
Version 4.1
2025.02.06
Added support for accounts in HKD currency
Version 4.0
2025.02.04
Added support for accounts in AUD currency, increasing the EA’s compatibility with more trading environments.
Improved compatibility for brokers that add punctuation after the pair name, ensuring seamless operation across different platforms.
Version 3.9
2025.02.03
Added support for accounts in PLN currency, expanding the EA's compatibility with more account types.
Further improved the neural network for better decision-making and accuracy in predicting market trends.
These updates aim to enhance flexibility and performance, ensuring better results across different currencies and market conditions.
Version 3.8
2025.01.31
Fixed a minor issue where the chart panel did not display profit correctly.
Ensured more accurate real-time profit tracking for better trade monitoring.
Version 3.7
2025.01.30
Enhanced Position Closing Logic
Preventing Multiple Close Attempts: The EA now waits for a position to close before attempting to close it again, avoiding redundant close requests that could cause issues.
Error Message Clarity: If the EA fails to send a close position request, it will print a more descriptive error message: "Failed to send close position request". This helps identify issues with request execution.
Position Verification: After sending a close request, the EA checks if the position is still open. If it is, it retries closing the position. If the position closes successfully, the EA updates the profit and displays a success message.
Improved Stability: By reducing unnecessary repeated attempts and ensuring that positions are fully closed before moving forward, this update improves the EA's stability and ensures it behaves more predictably even with server delays or slippage.
This update enhances the EA's ability to handle position closures under various market conditions and broker/server configurations, ensuring a smoother trading experience.
Enhanced Order Execution with Retry Mechanism
Improved handling of requotes and order retries for better order execution in volatile market conditions. This update allows the EA to tolerate larger slippage by increasing the deviation tolerance, ensuring that orders have a higher chance of being executed without rejection, even during periods of rapid market movement.
Version 3.6
2025.01.29
In this update, BTC account currency support has been added. Now, accounts denominated in Bitcoin (BTC) will be properly handled.
This enhancement broadens the range of supported account currencies, offering flexibility to traders using BTC accounts.
Version 3.5
2025.01.27
New Input: FridayStopHour
You can now set a specific hour on Fridays to stop trading (e.g., 20 = 20:00 PM). Setting it to 0 will disable the feature, allowing for full flexibility based on your preferences.
Expanded Account Type Support
The EA now supports trading XAU/USD across multiple account types including JPY, EUR, GBP, CHF, and RUB accounts.
This enhancement allows the EA to work seamlessly with a wider range of currencies.
Risk Level and Trading Style on Chart Panel
The EA risk level and trading style are now displayed directly on the chart panel, offering a quick and easy overview of your current settings and strategy.
We hope these updates enhance your trading experience and bring more flexibility and efficiency to the SmartChoice EA. As always, we recommend testing the updated version on a demo account first to ensure it meets your expectations.
Version 3.4
2025.01.27
Fixed an issue where certain brokers failed to send the correct market interval data.
This caused the EA to mistakenly interpret the market as closed.
The EA now handles this scenario more effectively, ensuring it can operate seamlessly regardless of the broker’s data format.
We recommend updating to ensure optimal performance and compatibility across all brokers. Thank you for your feedback and continued support!
Version 3.3
2025.01.26
New Input: FixedPercentage (default = 0) – Set the percentage of your deposit to risk per transaction (0 to disable). This option provides more control over risk management.
Broker Filling Mode Removed: The filling mode is now automatically detected at the start, simplifying setup and ensuring smoother operation.
Swap and Commission Accounting: The EA now accounts for swap and commission fees before closing trades, ensuring more accurate profit and loss calculations.
Max Spread Detection Improved: Further improvements made to max spread detection to avoid excessively high values that could prevent positions from being opened.
Reduced Slippage: Slippage points have been reduced when opening positions, providing more accurate trade execution.
Fix for Fixed Lot Size Issue where the fixed lot size setting was ignored on large accounts has been resolved, ensuring consistent trade volume.
Bug Fix for Early Position Closures: Fixed a bug that caused positions to close too soon on large accounts with high volume, improving overall trade management.
New Status Label: Added a status label to the chart panel for better real-time tracking of the EA’s activity.
Further Fine-Tuned Neural Network: The neural network has been further optimized for more accurate predictions and improved performance.
Improved Recovery Strategy: Enhanced the recovery mechanism to better handle drawdowns and improve overall trade performance.
Note: It is recommended to test this updated version on a demo account before applying it to live trading. Ensure that your account size and risk settings align with your trading goals to maximize safety and performance. This update reflects ongoing efforts to improve the stability, efficiency, and adaptability of the EA for XAU/USD trading.

Version 1.10
2024.12.27
Small fix for inputs
Après un mois d'utilisation sur mes lives, je suis tombé amoureux de cet EA ! Il est précis, il est bien suivi par son dev et surtout il est rentable. Au départ, j'étais prudent puis je l'ai vu travailler et je me suis aperçu de sa puissance. Merci au dev pour ce petit bijou. Je travaille sur du long terme donc j'espère qu'il sera fonctionnel encore longtemps :)
