Indicator and EA developer
Andrea (Andy), Italy. Self-taught programmer since the 1990s, now building MetaTrader 5 tools under the name Andy Trading Solutions (ATS).
My rule: a tool goes on the Market only after its logic has been tested on real data, with the broker's real spread. No grid, no martingale, no repainting, no promises of profit. If a statistic is weak, the product page says so.

New and free: ATS Trade Manager for MetaTrader 5 🦺
Plan a trade on the chart before you take it: a blue line where you open, a red zone down to the stop, green zones up to 1, 2 or 3 targets. Drag any line and the lot, the risk and the reward in money follow. Press SEND and the "site foreman" looks after the trade: break-even, trailing stop, a partial close at each target, a daily loss lock, and one panel to close groups of trades.
- Lot from your risk %, never rounded up. If your risk is below the broker's minimum lot, the panel tells you what the minimum lot would really risk.
- Market or pending order: drag the entry away from the price and it becomes a limit or stop order.
- It trades only when you press SEND. No signals, no promises.
Free on the Market: https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/199601
For developers, the same management rules as an open-source include file (break-even, trailing, partial closes, automatic stop and target, with a 36-check self-test): https://www.mql5.com/en/code/78081

Published code ATS Trade Management Library - break-even, trailing stop and partial closes for any EA
Look after open positions in an Expert Advisor: break-even, trailing stop, two partial closes, and a stop and target for positions that have none. It never opens a trade.

ATS Trade Manager is the site foreman of your trades. Plan a trade on the chart with draggable lines and coloured zones, send it with the lot size worked out from your risk, and let the foreman look after it: break-even, trailing stop, up to three take-profit levels with a partial close at each, a daily loss lock and one panel to close groups of trades.

Published code ATS Prop Rules Monitor - prop firm challenge scoreboard with the room left on every rule
One panel for the rules of a prop firm challenge: daily loss, maximum loss (static or trailing), profit target, minimum trading days and the best-day (consistency) rule. For each one it shows how much is used and how much room is left, in money. "One more trade" tells you the largest lot size that still keeps a stop-out inside the room left today and in the max-loss room. Read-only: it never opens, changes or closes a trade. The presets hold typical values; firms change their rules, so check yours and use the Custom preset. Built on the ATS Risk Library (ATS_RiskLib.mqh, included).

Published code ATS Risk Library - lot size from the stop, daily loss, drawdown and exposure guards
A small include file for Expert Advisors and trade managers. It turns your risk rules into yes/no answers: how many lots does this stop allow, is the daily loss limit reached, is the maximum drawdown (static or trailing) reached, how much is at risk across all open positions, and are spread and session acceptable. The lot is never rounded up: if the broker minimum lot would risk more than allowed, the trade is skipped and the reason is returned. Limits survive a terminal restart. The library only measures: it sends no order. Includes a demo account guard (no trading by default) and a self-test with 78 checks.

The most common reason small gold accounts blow up is not the entry. It is the lot size.
Quick rule: lots = (balance x risk %) / (stop distance x value per point per lot).
Example on XAUUSD, 1,000 USD balance, 1% risk = 10 USD, stop 5 USD away: 10 / (5 x 100) = 0.02 lots. Most people would open 0.10 there, which is 5% on one trade.
Set the stop first, then the lot. Never the other way round.
Free tool that does the maths and sends the order with the stop already attached:

ATS Gold Grade grades every XAUUSD M15 breakout against six objective checks and prints the six results on the panel, one by one. No black box.
✔️ Grade A / B / C from the checks, not from a hidden score
✔️ Entry, stop, target and position size for each setup
✔️ The hit rate of past graded setups, computed live on YOUR chart and broker
✔️ Closed bars only, nothing repaints
✔️ Signals only: it never trades
Honest note: the edge comes from trending gold. In a sideways market the grades still work as a filter, but results are weaker, and the panel shows it.

ATS Liquidity City on XAUUSD M15: towers = sell stops below price, platforms = buy stops above, "grab" / "break" on every sweep. Free with source code: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/77847
Andrea Michelon
New free indicator with source code: ATS Liquidity City.
Where are the stops resting, and which ones were taken today? It marks every confirmed swing high/low that price has not traded through, equal highs/lows (bigger pools) and yesterday's high/low. When a bar trades beyond a level it says "grab" if the bar closes back inside, "break" if it closes beyond. Non-repainting, nearest pool above/below in buffers for your EA.
The panel is a neon city: the price is a flying car, sell stops are towers below it, buy stops floating platforms above it. A map of where stops rest, not a forecast.

Published code ATS Liquidity City - liquidity pools and sweeps, drawn as a neon city
Shows where stops are likely resting and which ones were just taken. Liquidity pools = confirmed swing highs and lows that price has not traded through yet, equal highs/lows (a bigger pool) and yesterday's high and low. When a bar trades beyond a pool it is marked as swept, and as "grabbed & rejected" if the same bar closes back inside. Non-repainting: a swing is used only after N closed bars on each side. The panel is a neon city drawn on a CCanvas: the price is a flying car, sell stops are towers below it, buy stops floating platforms above it, yesterday's levels golden billboards, a searchlight sweeps the sky and a ticker runs today's catch. Two buffers give the nearest active pool above and below for use in an Expert Advisor. Indicator only: it never trades.

ATS Indicator is now FREE (version 1.31).
It reads market structure on any MT5 chart: swing highs and lows, breaks with the trend (BOS) and against it (CHoCH), and the order block each move started from, until price touches it.
✔️ Swings confirmed on closed candles only: history looks exactly like live, nothing repaints
✔️ Order blocks removed at the first touch, max 8 on the chart
✔️ Panel: trend, last break, nearest zone with the trend, reference stop and target
✔️ London / New York killzones, ATR and spread
✔️ New in 1.31: labels stay behind the panel
Honest note from my tests: I checked the first touch of these zones on 22 markets since 2017. Price does react a little more than at random levels, but not enough to pay the spread if you trade every touch. Use it to read the market and place your stop, not as an entry signal on its own.

I tested the two most popular M1 gold scalping ideas on XAUUSD data since 2018, about 1,000 trades each:
1. Buy/sell the M1 close through a session high or low, with the H1 trend
2. Buy/sell the sweep of a session high or low (wick through, close back inside), with the H1 trend
Before any cost, both came out at a profit factor of about 1.00: a coin flip. After the real spread, both lose, because an M1 stop is only a few times the spread.
I also tested M15 breakouts in the direction of the H1 trend: they worked in 2024-2026, but on 2020-2022 data the same rules lost money. The edge came from the strong gold trend, not from the setup itself.
So before you trust any scalping rule, test it on years it has never seen. Most rules don't survive that step, including some of mine.
