Touch of MIDAS

Automated MIDAS Trading for MT5

Touch of MIDAS combines automatic level detection, one-click curve arming, and a full prop-firm protection layer into one seamless workflow. The EA draws institutional-grade MIDAS curves on every chart, watches the levels you select across every symbol and timeframe, and fires trades the moment price reaches them — with the stop-loss attached, the lot size calculated, and fifteen safety checks already cleared.

Built for prop firm traders and serious retail traders who know where they want to trade but don't want to sit at the screen waiting for the touch.

Why Touch of MIDAS?

Hover over any control or button on the chart to instantly see a clear, concise description of exactly what it does.

• MIDAS — Hawkins Method 
  A VWAP-based analytical engine that identifies dynamic support and resistance levels by anchoring volume-weighted price curves to significant market turning points. Up to 10 supports and 10 resistances per chart, drawn automatically from pivot highs and lows. Curves disappear the moment they're invalidated by an anchor break or close-through — what you see is always the live, structurally-valid level set.

• Top Finder / Bottom Finder 
  Cumulative-volume exhaustion curves built on Paul Levine's TBF method. Each curve is fitted to a meaningful pullback pivot, which calibrates the trend's total volume budget (D). As bars print, volume burns through that budget; the curve's slope steepens and bends until — at 100% consumption — the curve terminates. A live percent-of-burnout readout and a yellow → orange → red gradient show exactly how close the trend is to running out of fuel, so you can read potential reversals from the volume tape itself rather than from price alone.

• One-Click Curve Arming 
  Every visible curve gets a BUY or SELL button anchored to its endpoint. Click once to arm — the EA now watches that exact level on every tick. When price touches the curve, the EA fires automatically. No manual timing, no missed touches if you're away from the screen.

• Per-Level Lot Size 
  Wide on-chart edit fields sit next to each button. Type your lot size directly. Edit anytime — even while the trade is running. Mid-position edits propagate to the live trail engine on the same tick.

• Auto-Close on Curve Break 
  When the MIDAS curve that justified the trade breaks, the position closes at market. The reason for the trade is gone, so the trade goes. Tagged in the journal for clean R-multiple bookkeeping.

• Armed Levels Panel
  One unified panel lists every armed curve across every chart and timeframe. Each row shows the symbol with currency flags, curve quality stars, side, live distance to trigger, and current open P&L if the position has fired. Click any row to jump straight to that chart.

• Curve Quality Scoring 
  Every curve is rated 1-to-5 stars based on cumulative volume at the anchor. Four-star and five-star setups get an ★ prefix on the panel so the highest-conviction levels stand out at a glance.

• Prop-Firm Account Protection 
  Daily-loss cap, daily-gain cap, and multi-day drawdown lock — all measured against equity in real time on every tick. Trip any threshold and the EA blocks all new fires until rollover, with optional close-all on daily target hit. Built to prevent prop firm rule breaches before they happen, not after.

• Symbol Info Box
  Live HH:MM:SS server clock with per-symbol OPEN/CLOSED status driven directly by the broker's session table. Correctly handles 24/7 crypto, limited-hours equities, FX weekend gaps, and broker-specific holidays. FX pairs additionally show the active liquidity zone — London, New York, Tokyo, Overlap, or Asia — when open.

• Smart Grid
  Optional horizontal grid at psychological round numbers (50000, 75000, 100000 on BTC; 1.0500, 1.0600 on FX). Adapts to chart range automatically. Labels are pixel-anchored at the chart's right edge — they never clip into the price scale regardless of price magnitude.

• Playbooks
  Save the current armed registry under a named playbook. Load any playbook later to restore that exact set of armed curves across symbols and timeframes. Useful for swing setups you want to re-arm after a take-profit run, or for switching between trading strategies.

• Trade Journal CSV
  Every fire, close, break, and miss writes a structured row to a spreadsheet-friendly file in the MQL5/Files directory. Symbol, period, slot, side, magic, fired-at price, lot size, reason, R-multiple on close. Drag into Excel for live-results analysis.
  

• R-Multiple Tracking 
  Initial risk in dollars is captured atomically at fire time and frozen as the R denominator. Trail tightening doesn't deflate it. Every close logs an R-multiple that reflects what you actually signed up for.

Recommended Workflow

1. Attach the EA to any chart. MIDAS curves draw themselves.
2. Configure your daily loss cap, drawdown lock, daily target and guards to match your strategy or prop firm's rules.
3. Click BUY or SELL on whichever curves you want to trade.
4. Type your lot directly into the on-chart edit fields.
5. Walk away. The EA handles the rest: entry, risk and reward.
