Mid Touch Alpha EA

How it trades

• When a new bar is formed, the engine collects possible S/D regions with fast/slow fractals and ATR fuzz.
• 
  
• According to the options (merge/extend) it merges/extends the regions and calculates the power rating:
• 
  
• Proven 3+ successful retest
• 
  
• Verified: ≥1 retest
• 
  
• Turncoat Role reversal detection
• 
  
• Untested Non-weak but no test count
• 
  
• Weak: Only fast fractal sign, low confidence
• 
  
• "Show/Allow" filters are used to determine the strength of the zones to be drawn/processed.
• 
  
• Entry is triggered when the price touches a zone for the first time (TOUCH) and/or crosses the midline (MID).
• 
  
• On entry, the SL is taken out of the zone by SLExtraPoints; TP is set as points-based or % profit target.
• 
  
• Break-even and FixMissingTPs maintenance jobs maintain the positions at each tick.
• 
  
• New entries are locked when the profit latch reaches the target (open transactions continue to be managed).
• 
  
• Note / Note: If TP by Profit % is enabled, it overrides points-based TPs.

Zone Selection & Safety

• InpAllowVerified (true) — Allow Verified zones 

• InpAllowProven (true) — Allow Proven zones 

• InpBlockOppositeSameTick (true) — Block opposite-side entry within same tick 

• InpMagic (20250822) — Magic number 

• InpMaxSpreadPoints (0) — Max spread; 0=disabled

Money Management

• InpUseBalanceLot (true) — Balance-based lots

• ZE_ShowWeak (false) — Include Weak 

• ZE_ShowUntested (false) — Include Untested 

• ZE_ShowTurncoat (false) — Include Turncoat 

• ZE_FuzzFactor (0.75) — ATR-based edge tolerance 

• ZE_FractalFastFactor (3.0) — Fast fractal window 

• ZE_FractalSlowFactor (6.0) — Slow fractal window 

• ZE_Merge (true) — Merge overlapping zones 

• ZE_Extend (true) — Extend edges by ATR 

• ZE_DrawLabels (true) — Draw labels 

• ZE_LabelShift/Color/Size/Font — Label styling 

• Zone Colors — Support/Resistance color sets per strength

Quick Start 

1. Test the EA on a period with a clear trend structure, such as H1 or M30/H4.

2. For first attempts ZE_ShowWeak=false, ZE_ShowUntested=false, ZE_ShowTurncoat=false (start with Verified/Proven only).

3. InpMaxActiveTradesPerZone=1 ve InpBlockOppositeSameTick=true and stay protective.

4. InpUseTP_ByProfit=false (points TP); then make true and try the range 0.30-0.80.

5. Strategy Tester’da:

   • Model: Every tick (or 1-minute OHLC for speed)

   • Use variable spread if your broker widens spread often.

   • Enable journal and optionally InpDebugVerbose=true to trace triggers.

Recommendation: Perform the first live trials on the demo account. Parameter optimisation differs for each symbol and TF.

Money Management Examples

• Balance-based (default): Balance 10,000 → 0.02 lots per 1K ⇒ 0.20 lot.

• Risk% (with SL): If distance(entry, SL) = 250 pts; account risk = 1% of balance; EA computes volume to risk ≈1% if tick value is provided by broker correctly.

Broker tick value/size must be accurate; exotic symbols may require manual checks.

FAQ
Q: Repaints?
A: Zones are recomputed on new bars using fixed fractal/ATR rules; historical shaping does not repaint intra-bar. However, merging/extending can adjust borders as new data arrives — this is by design.
Q: Which timeframes/pairs?
A: Works on all; better structure is often seen on H1–H4. On low TFs, consider tighter SL/TP and enabling %TP.
Q: MT5 netting vs hedging?
A: The EA operates with CTrade/PositionInfo and modifies by ticket then symbol, so hedging is supported. Zone gating relies on magic number and zone range.
Q: Can I add my own indicators?
A: The engine is self-sufficient; you may still combine with dashboards/filters, but avoid conflicting EAs on the same symbol+magic.
Q: What do strengths mean?

A: Heuristics based on retests/turning: Proven (3+ retests), Verified (≥1), Turncoat (role flip), Untested (no retest but not weak), Weak (low-confidence).
