SMC Automato MT5

SMC AUTOMATO (MT5) – Sweep • CHOCH • Retest (M15/M5)

SMC AUTOMATO is an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that automates a market-structure (SMC) based logic with a confirmation flow using sweep, Change of Character (CHOCH) and retest, using M15 (structure) and M5 (entry/management) timeframes.

The robot was developed to execute trades in an objective and standardized way, with market filters and position management, without promising results and respecting MT5 execution rules.

How the EA works (logic summary)

1. Session filter (time): trades only within the configured windows (Asia / London / NY).

2. M15 structure bias: defines the preferred direction based on recent swings.

3. Sweep: detects a sweep of a relevant swing level (breaks and closes back).

4. CHOCH on M5: confirms a Change of Character (swing break in the direction of the setup).

5. Retest: validates a touch inside the retest zone and confirmation.

6. Entry: opens an order with automatic SL and TP, calculated by structure + minimum RR.

7. Management: partial closes, BE+ and optional trailing.

Key Features

• Closed-candle operation (reduces tick noise and avoids multiple confirmations within the same candle).

• Maximum spread filter (in points).

• Volatility filter (ATR Spike) to avoid trading abnormal spikes.

• Risk management based on EQUITY (configurable percentage), with lot cap and margin safety.

• Hybrid TP: combines a structural target + a minimum RR target.

• Configurable partial closes (P1/P2/P3) by RR level and close percentage.

• Break-even (BE+) after Partial 1 (optional) with points offset.

• Trailing (runner) after a defined RR, based on recent swings.

• Daily Kill Switch (optional): blocks trading for the day if it reaches the daily loss limit (%) or equity drawdown from peak (%).

• BUY and SELL enable options (single direction or both directions).

Risk Warning

Trading financial markets involves high risk and may not be suitable for everyone. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Incorrect settings, high volatility, news events, slippage and broker restrictions may affect performance. Use a demo account for testing before trading on a live account.
