MQL5 Expert Advisor Development for Futures Trading Strategy (Debugging & Testing)

1. General Objective

Development of an Expert Advisor in MQL5 intended for Futures markets, based on an existing trading strategy that I will provide (described logic or precise rules).

The main objectives are:

• Faithful implementation of the strategy,
• Full debugging of the EA,
• Validation of correct behavior through backtesting.

2. Markets and Instruments

• Markets: Futures
• Symbols: to be defined (e.g. indices, commodities, or specific futures contracts)
• Timeframes: to be specified (e.g. M5, M15, H1)

3. Trading Logic

The Expert Advisor must include:

• Clearly separated Buy / Sell entry conditions
• Exit conditions:
  • Take Profit
  • Stop Loss
  • Conditional exit (if applicable)
• Only one position per symbol at a time (unless otherwise specified)

The exact strategy rules will be:

• either clearly described within this project,
• or provided as pseudo-code or an attached document.

4. Risk and Position Management

• Lot size:
  • fixed or
  • dynamically calculated (capital percentage or risk per trade)
• All parameters must be adjustable via EA inputs
• Proper handling of execution errors (requotes, market closed, etc.)

5. Debugging and Reliability

The developer must:

• fix any existing logic or execution errors
• ensure that the EA:
  • does not open multiple unwanted positions
  • strictly follows the defined rules
• deliver clean, well-structured, and commented code

6. Testing and Validation

• Testing in MT5 Strategy Tester
• Visual verification of the EA’s behavior
• The EA must run without errors in the Experts and Journal tabs

7. Expected Deliverables

• Source file .mq5
• Compiled file .ex5
• Simple usage instructions (in code comments or message)

8. Out of Scope

• No guarantee of financial performance
• No advanced optimization unless agreed separately
• No external connections (APIs, web services, databases)

9. Communication

All communication will take place exclusively through the MQL5 Freelance platform.
