Title: ENQ Aggregated Momentum 

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: This Expert Advisor is engineered STRICTLY AND EXCLUSIVELY for Standard E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures (NQ). Do NOT use this EA on Micro Nasdaq (MNQ), Forex, Crypto, Commodities, or any other index CFDs. It relies purely on the specific order flow, tick density, and micro-volatility mechanics unique to the real standard Nasdaq futures market.

Overview

ENQ Aggregated Momentum is an advanced order-flow and tick-streak tracking system designed for the explosive nature of the Nasdaq. Instead of relying on lagging indicator data (like Moving Averages or RSI), this algorithm "reads the tape." It tracks consecutive Bid/Ask hits with real volume, waiting for a critical mass of aggressive market orders to aggregate. 

Once a directional momentum threshold is breached, the EA places precise Buy Stop or Sell Stop pending orders to capitalize on the ensuing breakout. If the momentum follows through, the order is triggered. If the momentum is a false spike, the pending order automatically expires in milliseconds, protecting your capital.

How the Algorithm Works

The EA scans every single incoming tick. When it detects a sustained streak of pure buying or selling pressure—actively filtering out neutral ticks—it identifies an institutional push or a volatility spike. It then strategically places a pending order slightly ahead of the current price. Trade management is fully automated, utilizing a mathematical Trailing Stop to lock in profits during fast momentum bursts.

Key Features

- Tick-Level Order Flow: Operates entirely on actual market ticks and real volume (volume_real), making it immune to timeframe lag.

- Pending Order Entries: Uses strictly Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders rather than market execution to demand price confirmation and mitigate slippage.

- Dynamic Risk Management: Automatically calculates the exact lot size based on a user-defined percentage of account equity and the real tick value of the contract.

- Safety Handbrake: Includes a hard-coded maximum lot limit parameter (InpMaxLots) to prevent overexposure during extreme hyper-volatility events (e.g., CPI/NFP data releases).

- Aggressive Trade Management: Features customizable Stop Loss, Take Profit, and an automatic Trailing Stop/Step mechanism.

- Supported Asset: Standard E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures ONLY (Ticker: NQ).

- Broker Requirements: A true ECN/STP broker offering Real Tick Volume and extremely low latency on futures contracts. Retail accounts with simulated tick volume will render the algorithm blind.

- Timeframe: The EA runs purely on OnTick() and is completely independent of timeframes. Attaching it to a 1-Minute (M1) chart is recommended simply for visual monitoring.

- VPS Setup: A high-speed, low-latency Virtual Private Server (VPS) located geographically close to your broker's trade servers is mandatory. This EA reacts in milliseconds; a slow connection will severely degrade performance.

Core Parameters (Fully Adjustable by the User)

- Risk Percent: Percentage of account equity to risk per trade.

- Real Tick Value: The monetary value of 1 tick according to your broker's contract specification (e.g., $5.00 for standard NQ).

- Consecutive Trades: The number of consecutive, uninterrupted directional ticks required to trigger a signal. 💡 OPTIMAL SETUP: We highly recommend manually changing this default parameter to a value between 50 and 100 for maximum performance on NQ.

- Stop Order Distance: The distance (in ticks) from the current price to place the pending entry order.

- Order Expiration (ms): The exact lifespan of an un-triggered pending order in milliseconds.

Testing Note: To backtest this EA accurately within the Strategy Tester, you MUST use the "Every tick based on real ticks" modeling method. Using "1-minute OHLC" or standard simulated ticks will not provide valid data for a tick-streak order flow strategy.
