SMC Basket Guard

Turn Smart Money Concepts into automated, disciplined execution.

Finding a market opportunity is only the beginning.

Professional trading requires more than an entry signal.

It requires:

Timing.
Position management.
Risk control.
Discipline.

The SMC Basket Guard is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor designed for traders who use market structure, breakout confirmation, and retracement concepts, combining automated execution with advanced basket management.

Developed primarily for XAUUSD on H1 timeframe, the system searches for structured opportunities and manages positions through predefined risk and protection rules.

Gold is one of the most dynamic markets in the world.

Its strong movements create opportunities, but also expose traders to:

• emotional decisions;
• uncontrolled exposure;
• poor position management;
• premature exits.

SMC Basket Guard automates the process:

Identify.
Execute.
Manage.
Protect.

The EA analyzes market structure and searches for bullish break of structure confirmation.

After confirmation, it calculates a retracement zone and places a pending buy order.

Once a position is active, the system automatically manages the basket:

• monitors exposure;
• calculates weighted average price;
• manages additional positions;
• controls risk limits;
• manages basket targets.

The commercial version currently operates only on the buy side.

SMC Basket Guard uses structured position management.

Unlike aggressive lot multiplication systems:

✅ No traditional Martingale
✅ No progressive lot increase against losses
✅ Configurable base volume
✅ Maximum basket level control

Each additional position considers:

• total basket volume;
• weighted average price;
• exit objective;
• financial protection level;
• market conditions.

Capital protection is a core part of the system.

Features include:

Basket Financial Stop

Automatically calculated according to account parameters.

Emergency Stop

A secondary protection layer monitored by the EA.

If protection cannot be confirmed, the system blocks further expansion and may trigger emergency closing procedures.

Market conditions change constantly.

The EA uses ATR-based volatility analysis to detect abnormal expansion periods.

During unfavorable conditions:

• new entries may be blocked;
• basket expansion may be limited;
• exposure remains controlled.

SMC Basket Guard combines:

• Smart Money Concepts;
• automated execution;
• basket management;
• risk protection.

It was not designed to trade constantly.

It was designed to execute a structured methodology with discipline.
