Multi-Asset MT5 Signal Copier EA for XAUUSD & Forex

Overview:

I am looking for an experienced MQL5 developer to build a reliable Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 5 that executes automated trades based on external signal inputs (e.g. via Webhook or Telegram/REST API) with strict capital protection rules.

Core Requirements & Features:

1. Signal Parsing & Execution:

- Receive and process signals: Symbol (e.g. XAUUSD, EURUSD), Order Type (BUY/SELL), Entry Price, Stop Loss (SL), Take Profit (TP).

- Immediate market order execution upon signal receipt.

- Multi-Asset Support: Optimized primarily for XAUUSD (Gold), but also supports major Forex pairs. Pip/Point calculations must dynamically adjust based on symbol digits and tick value.

2. Flexible Risk & Money Management (Configurable in Settings):

- Fixed Lot Size: User can set a fixed lot size (e.g. 0.01).

- Dynamic Risk Percentage: Calculate lot size automatically based on account equity and SL distance (e.g. risk exactly 1% of account balance per trade).

- Max Lot Size Guard: Hard limit on maximum allowed lot size per trade.

3. Safety & Protection Rules (Crucial):

- Mandatory Stop Loss: The EA must NEVER open a trade without a hard Stop Loss set on the broker server.

- Daily Loss Limit (Equity Guard): If account equity drops by X% in a single day, close all open trades and halt trading until the next day.

- Max Spread Filter: Do not execute trades if current spread exceeds X pips/points.

- Max Slippage Limit: Reject order execution if price slippage is too high.

4. User Inputs & Controls:

- Enable/Disable Signal Execution toggle.

- Custom Magic Number to track orders separately.

- On-screen Dashboard showing EA status, daily PnL, and current risk parameters.

Deliverables:

- Fully functional and tested Expert Advisor executable (.ex5).

- Complete, clean, and commented source code (.mq5).

- Brief setup guide for installation.
