Development of Rule-Based Forex EA (Session-Based, No Grid/Martingale)

PrimeFlowEA — v1 Specification

Objective:
PrimeFlowEA v1 is designed to enforce disciplined, rule-based execution within a single daily trading session.
The goal of v1 is correct behavior and execution discipline, not optimization or performance tuning.

1. Market & Time

• Platform: MetaTrader 5 (MQL5)

• Symbol(s): User-selectable (single symbol per chart)

• Execution timeframe: Configurable (default: M5 / M15)

• Higher-timeframe (HTF) bias timeframe: Configurable (e.g., H1 / H4)

2. Session Rules

• One trading session per day

• Session start and end time are user-defined

• Trading is disabled outside the session window

• At session start:

  • HTF directional bias is determined and fixed for the entire session

  • No mid-session bias recalculation or flipping

3. Entry Logic

• Trades are executed only at predefined price levels

• No signal stacking or continuous signal generation

• One initial trade per session maximum

• If the initial trade hits Stop Loss:

  • One re-entry is allowed (same direction, same logic)

• No additional trades after re-entry

4. Risk & Trade Management

• Fixed risk per trade (percentage of account balance)

• Fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit logic (configurable)

• No martingale, grid, or trade scaling

• Maximum trades per session: 2 (initial + one re-entry)

5. Session Termination Logic

The trading session is terminated immediately after any of the following:

• Take Profit is hit

• Initial loss + re-entry is completed

• Session end time is reached

Once terminated, no further trades are allowed until the next session.

6. Safety & Constraints

• No trading outside session hours

• No more than one active position at any time

• No trade stacking

• All rules must be strictly enforced programmatically

7. Testing & Scope

• EA must be forward-test ready

• No optimization, curve-fitting, or performance tuning required in v1

• Focus is strictly on rule correctness and execution integrity
