Development of a Signal-Only Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 5 based on Smart Money Concepts (Order Block + CHoCH + Engulf)

Hello, hope you’re doing well 

Below is the scope of work and responsibilities for the project, so we can finalize the agreement before starting development.

Project Title:
Development of a Signal-Only Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 5 based on Smart Money Concepts (Order Block + CHoCH + Engulf)

Main Objective:
To build an analytical and signal-generating EA (no live trading) that automatically analyzes market structure and candle confirmations, sends trading alerts, and logs performance data for backtesting.

Developer Responsibilities:

1. Develop the EA in MQL5 for the MetaTrader 5 platform.
2. Use multi-timeframe logic:
   • Structure timeframe: 15 minutes
   • Trigger timeframe: 3 minutes
3. Detect CHoCH (Change of Character), Order Blocks, and Engulf/Scoop candles according to the trading plan provided.
4. Generate trade signals only after candle confirmation:
   • On-screen text alert
   • Sound alert
   • Push notification to mobile
5. Log every signal to a CSV file, including time, direction, price, SL, TP, and result (for backtesting statistics).
6. Calculate and display win rate, average RR, drawdown, and expectancy.
7. Apply a time filter — the EA should only work between 09:00 and 12:00 server time.
8. The EA must not open real positions — it only provides signals and logs them.
9. Deliverables include:
   • Compiled file (.EX5)
   • Source code (.MQ5) if agreed upon
   • User guide / setup instructions (TXT or PDF)
10. Provide at least 2 weeks of support after final delivery for bug fixes or minor adjustments.

Client Responsibilities (Me):

• Provide the full trading plan and checklist for entries.
• Test demo versions and provide feedback at each stage.
• Release payments milestone by milestone after confirming functionality.
• Retain full ownership of the analytical logic and strategy as the original author.

If you confirm these points, we can move to the contract stage and begin Phase 1 of the project.
Please confirm your agreement so I can initiate the first milestone payment.

Best regards,
SIAMAK GHASEMKHANI
