MT5 Two-Sided Grid EA with Fully Customizable Lot Sizes

I need a new MT5 Expert Advisor based on a fully customizable two-sided pending-order grid.

The purpose is to build a flexible EA engine. I will choose the trading parameters and strategy settings myself later. Please do not hard-code any specific lot sizes, grid distances, or trading progression.

1. Grid Logic

When the EA starts a new basket, it should use the current market price as the starting/reference price.

The EA should place:

• Buy Stop pending orders above the current price
• Sell Stop pending orders below the current price

The number of Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders must be adjustable from the Inputs.

2. Adjustable Grid Distance

The distance between grid levels must be completely adjustable from the Inputs.

I must be able to enter the distance I want myself.

The EA must correctly handle XAUUSD price digits/point size on different brokers.

3. Fully Adjustable Lot Sizes

Lot sizes must be fully configurable by the user from the Inputs.

The Buy side and Sell side must be configurable independently.

I want to enter the lot sizes that I want myself.

The EA must NOT force any Martingale, Fibonacci, multiplier, automatic progression, or fixed lot-sizing strategy.

The EA should execute the lot settings entered by the user.

4. One-Time Level Activation

Each grid level should be activated only once during the same basket.

If a pending order is triggered and price later returns to the same level, the EA must NOT recreate or trigger the same level again during that basket.

5. Basket Management

All positions opened by the EA — both Buy and Sell — must be treated as one single basket.

The EA must continuously calculate the combined P/L of the entire basket.

There should be an adjustable Basket Take Profit in USD.

6. Basket TP / Close All

As soon as the combined basket P/L reaches the Basket Take Profit:

The EA must immediately:

1. Close ALL open Buy positions.
2. Close ALL open Sell positions.
3. Delete ALL remaining Buy Stop pending orders.
4. Delete ALL remaining Sell Stop pending orders.
5. Clear/reset the previous basket and all triggered-level information.

No position or pending order from the previous basket should remain.

7. Immediate New Basket

After the previous basket has been completely closed and all pending orders deleted, the EA should immediately start a new basket from the current market price.

It should create a completely fresh Buy Stop/Sell Stop grid using the same current Input settings.

No mandatory rest period is required.

8. Grid Continuation / Maximum Orders

I need an adjustable setting for:

• Maximum Buy orders/levels
• Maximum Sell orders/levels

The EA should be able to continue creating new grid levels as price moves into new territory, up to the user-defined maximum.

Already-triggered levels must never be duplicated within the same basket.

9. Required Inputs

All important settings must be accessible from the EA Inputs, including:

• Grid Distance
• Number / Maximum Buy Levels
• Number / Maximum Sell Levels
• Buy Lot Settings
• Sell Lot Settings
• Basket Take Profit in USD
• Maximum Slippage
• Magic Number
• Enable/Disable Buy Side
• Enable/Disable Sell Side

The Buy and Sell configurations must remain independent.

10. Execution Safety

The EA should prevent:

• Duplicate orders
• The same level being triggered twice
• Multiple baskets starting accidentally
• Old pending orders remaining after Basket TP
• New basket creation before the previous basket is completely closed

If MT5/VPS is restarted while a basket is active, the EA should recognize and continue managing its existing positions and pending orders using the Magic Number, rather than creating a duplicate basket.

11. MT5 Strategy Tester

The EA must work correctly in the MT5 Strategy Tester, especially:

Every tick based on real ticks

I need to be able to backtest different:

• Grid distances
• Lot configurations
• Basket TP values
• Maximum grid levels

without changing the source code.

12. Delivery

I require:

• EX5 compiled EA
• Full editable MQ5 source code.  

The final EA should have clean and clearly named Inputs.

Additional Requirements – WE MOVE SAFELY Control Panel & News Filter

I also need a professional on-chart control panel branded WE MOVE SAFELY.

The panel should allow me to:

- START / STOP the EA.

- Enable/disable Stop After Basket TP.

- If Stop After Basket TP = OFF, the EA should close the completed basket and immediately start a new basket.

- If Stop After Basket TP = ON, the EA should close the entire basket at TP, delete all pending orders, and remain stopped until I manually press START again.

- Display current basket P/L, Buy/Sell positions, total Buy/Sell lots, Grid Distance, Basket TP, EA status and News Filter status.

I also want to be able to open manual BUY or SELL trades directly from the panel, with an adjustable lot size.

Trades opened from this panel must automatically become part of the current EA basket and be managed by the EA, including the Basket TP.

Please also add:

- BUY button

- SELL button

- Adjustable manual lot size

- Close Buy

- Close Sell

- Close All

The EA must NEVER manage or close unrelated manual trades or trades belonging to another EA.

NEWS FILTER:

Please include an optional News Filter with:

- ON/OFF

- High Impact ON/OFF

- Medium Impact ON/OFF

- Low Impact ON/OFF

- Adjustable minutes before news

- Adjustable minutes after news

- Currency filtering

For XAUUSD, I need the ability to filter relevant USD news.

During the news protection period, the EA should not start a new basket or place new grid orders. Existing positions should continue to be safely managed, and if Basket TP is reached, the basket must still close immediately.

The panel should clearly show when the NEWS FILTER is ACTIVE and when the EA is SAFE TO TRADE.

IMPORTANT STOP BEHAVIOR:

If I manually press STOP while a basket is already open, the EA should stop opening new orders/levels but continue managing the existing basket until it is safely closed.

All trades created by the EA or manually through its panel must be correctly identified using the EA's Magic Number.

The panel should have a clean, professional WE MOVE SAFELY design and should be compact, preferably movable/minimizable.

These requirements should be included together with all the original grid/basket specifications.

I require both the EX5 file and full editable MQ5 source code.The main requirement is flexibility. The developer is building the grid/basket management system only. I will decide the trading strategy, lot sizes, distances, and TP settings myself through the Inputs.

Please apply only if you have experience developing MT5 Grid / Hedging EAs.
