Project Description:
Project Description:

I am looking for an experienced MT5 developer to build a professional Expert Advisor for XAUUSD based on a structured trend-following breakout strategy.

This EA must be built with strict risk management rules (no martingale, no grid, no hedging).

---

### 1. General Requirements
- Platform: MT5
- Symbol: XAUUSD
- Entry timeframe: M5
- Trend filter timeframe: H1
- Trading session: 14:00 – 21:30 (GMT+7)
- No overnight position holding (optional parameter)

---

### 2. Trend Filter (H1)
- EMA50 & EMA200
- Only BUY when EMA50 > EMA200
- Only SELL when EMA50 < EMA200
- If EMA cross happens during the day → stop trading for that day

---

### 3. Entry Logic (M5)
- Break of recent structure
- Retest of breakout level
- Confirmation candle close in trend direction
- Fixed Stop Loss: 30 pips
- Risk-based lot calculation (1–1.5% per trade)

---

### 4. Trade Management (PRO version)
- At 1R (30 pips) → move SL to BE + 2 pips
- At 1.5R → close 50% position
- Remaining 50%:
- Trailing based on recent M5 swing high/low
- Or final TP at 2R

---

### 5. Risk Control
- Max trades per day: 2
- Max daily loss: 4%
- Max consecutive losses: 3 → disable trading for the day
- Max account drawdown: 20% → auto disable EA
- No martingale
- No grid
- No hedging

---

### 6. Additional Requirements
- Clean, optimized, non-repainting logic
- Detailed log output
- Adjustable inputs for all risk parameters
- Backtest-ready
- Source code delivery (.mq5)
- Bug fix support after delivery

---

### Please Answer:
1. Have you developed EA for XAUUSD before?
2. Can you provide sample backtest reports?
3. Estimated delivery time?
4. Estimated cost?
5. Post-delivery support period?

I am looking for a long-term collaboration if this project is successful.

Here is the final specification summary for the EA:

Strategy Logic

• Trend filter using EMA50 / EMA200 on H1  

• Break of Structure (BOS) detection on M5 using fractal-style swings (2 candles left / 2 candles right)  

• Retest of breakout level required  

• Confirmation candle close in trend direction before entry  

Trade Management

• Fixed Stop Loss: 30 pips  

• Break Even at 1R with +2 pips offset  

• Partial close: 50% of the position at 1.5R  

• Remaining position trailing based on new confirmed M5 swing highs/lows  

Risk Management

• Maximum 2 trades per day  

• Stop trading after 3 consecutive losses  

• Maximum daily loss: 4%  

• Maximum account drawdown: 20% (EA disables itself)  

Trading Filters

• Trading session: 14:00 – 21:30 (GMT+7)  

• Spread filter to skip trades if spread > 35 points  

Additional Requirements

• Chart objects showing BOS levels and trade signals  

• Detailed logging of trading decisions  

Technical Requirement

• EA must correctly handle XAUUSD pip calculation.

Please confirm that all specifications above are correct before development begins.
