Expert Advisor based on ZigZag structure with H1 trend filter, HL/LH entries and optional scalping logic (MT5)

📋 Project Description:

I’m looking for an experienced MQL5 developer to build an EA that trades based on market structure with multi-timeframe confirmation. The core logic is as follows:

📌 Strategy Logic:

➤ Trend Filter (H1 and optional H4):

Use a ZigZag indicator on H1 (and optionally on H4) to determine the trend direction:

• Uptrend = latest H1 HH and HL

• Downtrend = latest H1 LL and LH

• Optional second trend filter via H4 ZigZag

• Only open entries on M1 in the direction of the H1 trend

➤ Entry Signal (M1):

• Buy at HL (only if trend = uptrend)

• Sell at LH (only if trend = downtrend)

• Optional: entry only after candle closes above HL (or below LH)

• Optional: RSI confirmation using a selectable timeframe

  • Buy if RSI > X (e.g. 55), Sell if RSI < Y (e.g. 45)

➤ Scalping / Grid Option:

• Option to open multiple entries at subsequent HLs or LHs

• Configurable minimum distance between entries (in pips)

• Lot size adjustable per step (fixed or multiplied)

➤ Exit Logic:

• Default: close at the next ZigZag turning point (LL/LH or HH/HL)

• Optional exit conditions:

  • MA crossover (user-defined MAs)

  • RSI divergence (optional)

  • Known support/resistance or fibo level (optional input)

• Trailing Stop: optional, pip- or ATR-based

• SL/TP: user-defined in pips or based on latest HH/LL

➤ Time Filters:

• Active trading hours configurable (e.g., only between 08:00–22:00 CET)

⚙️ User Configurable Parameters:

• Lot size, magic number

• Enable/disable H1 or H4 trend filter

• RSI settings: value and timeframe

• Minimum distance between entries (pips or ATR)

• Max number of active trades per direction

• Trailing Stop: enable, trigger, and step

• MA parameters

• Trade window (time filter)

• SL/TP method: fixed or HH/LL-based

• Use of external indicators (e.g. custom ZigZag as mq5/ex5)

✅ Requirements:

• Fully compatible with MetaTrader 5

• Primary target: XAU/USD should work on any symbol

• Must support Strategy Tester backtesting

• Clean, well-commented code

• Full MQ5 source code must be delivered

  🧩 On-screen Dashboard:

  Include a small on-chart dashboard to display live status of key conditions, such as:

  • H4 trend direction (e.g. UP)

  • H1 trend direction (e.g. UP)

  • M1 trend direction (e.g. DOWN)

  • RSI value (e.g. RSI M5: 60)
    This helps quickly assess whether all entry filters are met or not.

  • ⚙️ User Configurable Parameters:

  • • Lot size (fixed lot and % of account balance)

    • Magic number

    • Enable/disable H1 or H4 trend filter (set enable disable and timeframes)

    • RSI settings: value and timeframe

    • Minimum distance between entries (pips)

    • Max number of active trades per direction

    • Trailing Stop: enable, trigger, and step

    • MA parameters

    • Trade window (time filter)

    • SL/TP method: fixed or HH/LL-based or ma or RSi

    • Use of external indicators (e.g. custom ZigZag as mq5/ex5)
