📌 Looking for MQL5 Developer – Institutional SMC EA

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a highly experienced MQL5 developer to build a fully automated Expert Advisor (EA) based strictly on Smart Money Concepts (SMC), designed to operate and pass prop firm accounts.

🔍 Core Strategy Requirements (SMC Only)

The EA must be based on institutional Smart Money Concepts, including:

• ✅ Market Structure (BOS & CHOCH)

• ✅ Liquidity concepts (equal highs/lows, stop hunts)✅ Trap Blocks / Fake Order Blocks detection

• ✅ Valid Order Blocks (bullish & bearish)

• ✅ Fair Value Gaps (imbalance)

• ✅ Premium / Discount zones

• ✅ Entries only after confirmation (no impulsive trades)

• ✅ One trade per structure (BOS / CHOCH)

⚠️ Critical requirement:
The EA must be able to identify and filter trap blocks (false institutional zones caused by manipulation) and avoid false SMC setups.

📈 Prop Firm Risk Management (Mandatory)

• 🔒 Maximum risk per trade: 0.4% of account balance

• 🛑 Daily drawdown protection (auto stop trading)

• 🛑 Overall drawdown protection

• ❌ No martingale

• ❌ No grid

• ❌ No hedging

• ⚖️ Exposure control (avoid over-leveraging correlated trades)

🎯 Performance Expectations

• 📊 Target profitability: minimum 5% per month
