📄 Development Specification Sheet: Spike Detection Expert Advisor (EA)

Project Name:

SpikeSentry EA – Expert Advisor based on Spike Indicator

Purpose:

To develop an EA that opens trades based on arrow signals from an existing custom spike-detection indicator and manages those trades with options for immediate profit-taking or a trailing stop based on candle count or point distance.

Indicator Integration:

• The EA must read arrow buffer signals from the custom spike-detection indicator.

• Buy trade is triggered when the up arrow appears.

• Sell trade is triggered when the down arrow appears.

Entry Logic:

• Buy when up arrow appears on the current or previous candle -(Arrows Should Not Be Visible in EA)

• Sell when down arrow appears on the current or previous candle - (Arrows Should Not Be Visible in EA)

• Allow only one trade per signal (no duplicate entries on the same signal)

Trade Management Options (User Inputs):

✅ Immediate Take Profit (Optional):

• [true/false] Use Immediate Take Profit

• If true, the EA should close the trade as soon as price enters profit (even 1 point/pip).

🔁 Trailing Stop Option (Alternative to Immediate TP):

• [true/false] Use Trailing Stop

• If true, activate trailing logic below:

Trailing Stop Settings:

• Start trailing after X candles in profit 

• Trail behind last X candles 

• Alternative option: Trail by fixed distance → TrailByPoints = 100 (optional override of candle method)

• The trailing stop should only activate once the trade is in profit.

• Drop Down Menu to select between the Trailing Functions

Stop Loss Configuration:

• [int] SL by Candles → SL_CandleDistance = 3
  Set SL at the high (for sell) or low (for buy) of # candles from the entry candle.

OR

• [int] SL by Points → SL_Points = 100
  Set SL X points away from entry price.

Only one SL method should be active at a time (candle-based or point-based).

Additional User Inputs:

• Lot Size → Lots = 0.10

• Magic Number → MagicNumber = 456789

• Slippage → Slippage = 5

• Max Open Trades → MaxTrades = 1

• Allow Buy/Sell separately → AllowBuy = true , AllowSell = true

• Comment on Trade → TradeComment = "SpikeSentryEA"

Chart & Visual Feedback:

• Mark trade entries on the chart (e.g., with small arrow and text “Buy Opened” / “Sell Opened”)

• Optional: draw trailing stop and SL lines in real-time

Error Handling & Logging:

• Check for indicator buffer validity on startup

• Write clear logs in the Experts tab for each action (entry, SL move, TP hit)

Compatibility:

• Must be compatible with MetaTrader 5 (MT5)

• Must work with any broker and on all symbols (Forex, Synthetic, Commodities)

• Must handle missing indicator buffer errors gracefully
