Expert Advisor Developer Needed — MT5 Price Action EA (Phase 1 of Long-Term Project)

I am looking for a skilled MQL5 developer to build a fully automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 trading XAUUSD (Gold).

This is Phase 1 of a structured, multi-stage system.
Developers who deliver quality work will move directly into Phase 2, which is significantly larger in scope and compensation.

🔷 The Strategy

The EA follows a structured multi-timeframe price action framework:

• Break of Structure (BOS) on H4 defines directional bias
• Supply/Demand zones on H1 define entry areas
• M15 trigger candle executes entries

The system includes a custom internal ZigZag (non-repainting, built from scratch) used for BOS detection and automatic zone construction.

Entries require 8 out of 9 confluence conditions (ICC Score system) to be met.

The EA is fully automated and includes a simple Account Goal tracking input.

🔷 Risk System

• Dynamic 8-phase risk model
• Risk scales from 25%–35% in early phases and reduces to 15% as the account grows
• Includes:
  • Drawdown throttle
  • Streak filter
  • Multi-level pyramid entries

🔷 Key Features

• Custom non-repainting ZigZag (internal logic only)
• Automated BOS detection and zone construction
• 9-condition ICC Score system with real-time panel
• Multi-level pyramid entries (no fixed cap, optimization allowed)
• Partial take profits:
  • TP1: 30%
  • TP2: 40%
  • Remaining 30% managed via trailing stop
• Session filter (Asian, London, New York)
• Spread filter and news filter
• Alert system for all key events
• Custom sound notification on take profit
• Account Goal progress panel

🔷 Developer Requirements (Read Carefully)

This is not a basic EA project. Only apply if you meet the following:

• Strong experience with MQL5 and fully automated trading systems
• Ability to build custom logic from scratch (no external indicators)
• Proven experience with:
  • Multi-timeframe logic (H4 / H1 / M15)
  • Non-repainting structures
  • Dynamic lot sizing and risk scaling
  • Trade management (partials, trailing stops, pyramiding)
• Clean, structured, well-documented code
• Experience delivering EAs with backtesting reports

🔷 NDA Requirement (Mandatory)

• NDA must be signed before receiving the full specification
• All logic and implementation remain confidential
• No reuse or redistribution allowed

🔷 Deliverables

• Compiled EA (.ex5)
• Full source code (.mq5) — full ownership transferred
• 6-month backtest (XAUUSD) with equity curve and trade log
• Full testing evidence based on checklist

🔷 Testing Responsibility

Developer is responsible for full testing before delivery.
Payment is released only after all checklist items are verified.

🚀 Phase 2 — Long-Term Opportunity

• Begins approximately 2–3 months after successful Phase 1 delivery
• Includes:
  • Additional instruments (Deriv Gold, VIX75, Step Index)
  • Manual trading interface
  • Advanced visual tools
  • Multi-account correlation logic

💰 Phase 2 will be offered at the developer’s desired pricing

The developer who demonstrates quality and reliability will be selected for Phase 2 without competition.

🔍 Technical Screening (Required)

To apply, include a brief answer to the following:

1. How would you design a non-repainting ZigZag that confirms swing points only on closed candles?
2. How would you structure multi-timeframe data flow (H4 → H1 → M15) without causing signal conflicts or delays?
3. How would you ensure accurate lot sizing across different brokers and symbols without hardcoding values?

Applications without these answers will not be considered.

📩 To Apply

Please include:

• Examples of similar MT5 EAs
• Your answers to the technical questions above
• Estimated timeline for Phase 1

This is a structured, precision-based system.

Developers looking for long-term work and higher Phase 2 compensation are encouraged to apply.
