Shadow Entry

SHADOW ENTRY  EA — Smart Money Structure + Fibonacci Precision

Trade like institutional order flow readers do: wait for the market to reveal its hand, then enter at a discount.

Shadow Entry is a fully automated Expert Advisor built on a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) narrative — market structure shifts, confirmation breaks, liquidity inducement, and deep retracement entries. No grid. No martingale. No averaging. Every trade has a structure-based stop loss and a liquidity-based take profit from the moment it is placed.

—— HOW IT TRADES ——

The EA reads raw price structure bar by bar and only acts when a complete institutional story unfolds:

1. It detects the first structural crack against the prevailing trend — the early warning that control is changing hands.
2. It waits for confirmation. One break means nothing; the EA requires the market to prove the shift before committing.
3. It maps the liquidity trap that swept early traders, validating that the move is engineered, not random.
4. Only then does it place layered limit orders inside a proprietary discount zone, calculated from the full impulse leg — and repositions them automatically while the impulse extends.
5. Profit targets sit at the liquidity pool the move was designed to reach. Stops sit beyond the structural origin — never an arbitrary pip number.

—— KEY FEATURES ——

• Pure price action — no lagging indicators • Layered dual-entry limit system with automatic zone repositioning • Structure-based SL and liquidity-based TP, with an alternative fixed R:R mode • Structure-aware Smart Breakeven that scales with each setup's size (fixed-point mode also available) • Optional trailing stop • Setup freshness filter — untouched orders are cancelled once a zone goes stale • Hidden SL/TP mode — exit levels held virtually by the EA, invisible to the broker (requires stable VPS) • Fixed lot or risk-percent position sizing • Session filter and max-spread filter • Clean on-chart dashboard with live phase tracking and full setup visualization • One setup at a time, fully transparent on the chart — verify every trade yourself

—— RECOMMENDATIONS ——

• Symbol: XAUUSD (developed and tested on Gold) • Timeframe: M15 (M30 also suitable) • Account: Hedging, any broker with reasonable Gold spreads • Minimum deposit: 100 USD (0.01 lot) — 500 USD or more recommended • Risk setting: 1–5% per setup for conservative operation • VPS strongly recommended, required if using Hidden SL/TP mode • Backtest with "Every tick based on real ticks" for accurate results • A .set file with optimized settings is provided — no manual tuning needed

—— HONEST NOTES ——

This EA is a precision tool, not a trade machine. It waits for complete structural setups, which means periods of inactivity are normal — typically several setups per week on XAUUSD M15. Both entries of a setup share one structural stop loss; a stopped setup closes both positions. Past backtest performance does not guarantee future results. Always forward-test on a demo account before live deployment, and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.

Trading involves substantial risk of loss.
