CounterFlow EA MT5

📡 1. HIGHER TIMEFRAME CONFIRMATION FILTER — NEW!

• 🆕 See the bigger picture before every trade. Before opening any position, the EA now evaluates a higher timeframe view of the market to confirm alignment. If the bigger picture doesn't agree, the EA simply waits.
• ✅ Result: Significantly fewer false entries, better timing, and trades that are far more likely to succeed from the moment they open.
• ⚙️ Fully configurable — you choose the timeframe and sensitivity.

🎯 2. SMARTER TAKE PROFIT STRATEGY — UPGRADED!

• 💰 Aim higher. Earn more. The EA now targets a significantly larger profit on the first trade of each pair — capturing the full potential of each mean-reversion move instead of settling for a quick, small exit.
• 🛡️ Intelligent fallback protection: If a trade has been open for an extended period without reaching its target, the EA automatically scales down to a smaller, achievable goal — closing with any profit is always better than holding forever.
• 📊 Grid levels use a smart, tiered approach — aggressive when alone, conservative when accumulating. Best of both worlds.

📈 3. TRENDING MARKET GUARD — NEW!

• ⛔ Know when NOT to trade. CounterFlow EA is a mean-reversion strategy — it thrives in ranging, calm markets. When the market starts trending aggressively in one direction, the EA automatically pauses all new entries.
• 🔄 Automatically resumes once the market returns to a suitable state. No manual intervention needed.
• 💡 This single feature has the biggest impact on preventing deep drawdowns caused by entering against a strong trend.

🔗 4. CURRENCY OVER-EXPOSURE PROTECTION — NEW!

• ⚠️ Hidden risk, now eliminated. Trading AUDCAD and AUDNZD simultaneously means double exposure to the Australian Dollar. If AUD moves strongly against you, both trades lose at the same time.
• ✅ v3.09 now tracks currency exposure across all open pairs and automatically prevents opening additional trades that would create dangerous overlap.
• ⚙️ Configurable per-currency limit so you stay in control.

📰 5. NEWS FILTER — MORE RELIABLE THAN EVER

• ✅ Zero external dependencies. The news filter in v3.09 uses MetaTrader 5's own built-in economic calendar — no external website connections, no timeout errors, no stale data.
• ⚡ Always on, always accurate. Automatically detects which currencies are relevant to your traded pairs and monitors only what matters.
• 🔧 Fixed the "stuck paused" bug from v3.08 — the EA now resumes trading correctly after news events pass.

📊 6. PROFIT LOCKING — REFINED!

• 🔐 Don't give back your hard-earned gains. The trailing take profit system has been fine-tuned to follow price more closely once a trade is performing well.
• 💹 Activates at the right moment — not too early (which cuts profit short), not too late (which lets gains evaporate). Locks in maximum profit before any reversal can erase it.

• 🎛️ 3 Risk Profiles: Choose Conservative (safest), Balanced (recommended), or Aggressive (maximum growth potential).
• 🕐 Time & Day Filter: Trade only during your preferred sessions and days.
• 💰 Auto Money Management: Lot sizes automatically scale with your account balance — grow your profits proportionally as your account grows.
• 📋 Multi-Pair Portfolio: Run up to 5 currency pairs simultaneously from a single chart. Maximum diversification, minimum effort.
• 🔢 Configurable Grid: Full control over grid levels, spacing, lot multipliers, and maximum exposure per pair.
• 📊 Live Dashboard: Real-time panel showing all open positions, equity status, and current pair performance at a glance.
