Universal V2 — All-in-USD Edition
==================================
A multi-strategy Expert Advisor that manages risk in USD instead of points or pips, making it fully portable across brokers with different point values, digits, and tick sizes.
Unlike most EAs that require re-tuning when you change brokers, Universal V2 calculates Take Profit, Trailing Stop, and minimum martingale distance in absolute USD. The same settings work on any broker.
------------------------------------------
CORE CONCEPT — WHY USD-BASED?
------------------------------------------
Most EAs use points or pips for SL/TP. When you switch brokers, point values change (especially on GOLD, indices, and crypto), and your carefully tuned settings break.
Universal V2 solves this by working in USD:
- Set "Take Profit = $10" → the EA calculates the exact price distance for your broker.
- Set "Trailing Step = $0.5" → works identically on any broker.
- Set "Min Martingale Distance = $0.5" → consistent averaging distance regardless of symbol.
One setting, every broker.
------------------------------------------
SIGNAL ENGINE
------------------------------------------
Entry signals are generated from a triple-confirmation system on M5:
BUY : Price below Lower Bollinger Band + Stochastic < 30 + RSI < 30
SELL : Price above Upper Bollinger Band + Stochastic > 70 + RSI > 70
This is a mean-reversion logic designed to catch exhaustion moves.
Optional confirmation filters (all toggleable):
- Two-candle confirmation
- ADX filter (trend strength)
- MA200 filter (M5 trend)
- H1 MA200 confirmation (higher timeframe trend)
- Spread filter (in USD)
- Time filter (trading hours)
- Candle-end filter (skip entries in the last N minutes of the hour)
------------------------------------------
TRADE MANAGEMENT
------------------------------------------
- New Cycle logic: opens the first position when the basket is empty.
- Martingale averaging: adds positions when the last one is in loss, up to MaxTrades, with configurable LotExponent.
- Basket Take Profit: closes all positions when total profit reaches the USD target.
- Basket Trailing Stop: activates after the USD profit threshold is reached, then trails the highest (BUY) / lowest (SELL) price with a USD step.
- Automatic break-even: the trailing SL never moves below the basket average price (for BUY) or above it (for SELL).
- Cooldown timer: prevents immediate re-entry after a basket closes.
- Pause timer: prevents rapid-fire order placement.
------------------------------------------
BROKER SAFETY LAYER
------------------------------------------
The EA auto-adapts to any broker's rules:
- Detects symbol category (GOLD, SILVER, JPY, OIL, CRYPTO, FOREX).
- Reads StopLevel and FreezeLevel from the broker.
- Adds a configurable USD buffer on top of the broker's minimum distance.
- Validates and adjusts every SL/TP before sending.
- Retries automatically on Error 130 (invalid stops).
- Restores missing SL after broker restarts or terminal disconnections.
------------------------------------------
CRASH RECOVERY
------------------------------------------
The EA stores its last known SL and TP levels. If your terminal restarts, the VPS disconnects, or the broker resets stops, Universal V2 automatically restores them on the next tick.
No more naked positions after a restart.

RISK WARNING
------------------------------------------
This EA uses a martingale-style averaging strategy. While the USD-based basket TP and trailing stop are designed to lock in profits, martingale systems carry inherent risk of large drawdowns during extended trends against the position.
- Do NOT use money you cannot afford to lose.
- Always test on a demo account first.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results.
- The developer is not responsible for any trading losses.
