Vertex — MT5 Expert Advisor Development
I convert TradingView Pine Script indicators and strategies into MT5 Expert Advisors. Every delivery includes a backtest report and parameter optimization notes. Experienced with trend, grid and breakout strategies on XAUUSD, JP225 and indices. - Version: 1.2
Vertex-Flux is a trend-following Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold) on the M5 timeframe. It is built around an adaptive Flux Line that speeds up in clean trends and slows down in choppy markets. Around that line, deviation bands form a ratcheting Guard Line that only moves in the direction of the trend. A trade opens when price breaks through the Guard Line and the trend flips, but only if the trend-quality and higher-timeframe filters agree.
How it trades
- One position at a time. No martingale, no grid, no averaging, no hedging.
- Every trade has a hard Stop Loss, placed at the Guard Line, and a Take Profit set as a multiple of risk (R).
- Break-even with profit lock: once a trade reaches 1.25R, the stop moves into profit, so winning trades are protected.
- Trend Quality filter: skips signals when price movement is choppy and inefficient.
- H1 Trend filter: only takes M5 signals in the direction of the H1 trend.
- Trades both long and short.
Built-in preset
- ICM_XAU: the optimized settings for XAUUSD M5. Select it from the Preset input and it applies all strategy settings automatically. Only lot size and risk are left for you to set.
- Custom: use your own values from the Inputs tab.

Testing
Developed and validated with walk-forward optimization (back and forward periods) on 2024–2026 XAUUSD data. Tested on two different brokers using real tick data, with consistent results across both.
Important
Trading leveraged products such as Gold carries a high level of risk. Past backtest performance does not guarantee future results. Test the EA on a demo account first and only trade with money you can afford to lose. Start with small lot sizes and increase only as your account grows.
Concept credit: the adaptive smoothing and band idea is inspired by “Adaptive Decycler Supertrend” by SchizoQuant (TradingView).
