Overview
Glimpse Strategy is an automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 4 designed for short-term execution using pending stop orders and time-based controls.
It places Buy Stop or Sell Stop orders at a configurable distance from the current price and manages trades with Stop Loss and optional trailing logic.
The EA is intended to run on the symbol chart where it is attached and can be set to Buy only, Sell only, or Both directions.
Because this style depends on execution quality, behavior can vary between brokers and symbols.
What the EA Does
The EA reads the current Bid/Ask and places a pending stop order using an Anchor distance (points).
Direction can be restricted to Buy only, Sell only, or Both (user-defined).
If a trade is triggered, the EA manages it with the configured Stop Loss and optional trailing stop rules (if enabled).
A time limit can cancel pending orders and/or close positions after a defined duration to reduce prolonged exposure.
Some builds may include an optional account-level stop condition to suspend new trading after a threshold is reached.

Risk Management & Safety Notes
Trading involves risk, and losses are possible. This EA does not guarantee results and is not financial advice.
Short-term execution can be affected by spread spikes, slippage, requotes, and fast price movement.
Pending orders may be rejected if broker stop/freeze levels or trading conditions do not allow the requested distance.
Always verify margin requirements and use conservative lot sizing for your account type and symbol.
If you enable trailing or time-based closing, the terminal must remain running so management can execute.
Test in Strategy Tester (historical simulation) and then on a demo account before using the EA on a live account.

Recommended Evaluation
Use Strategy Tester as a historical simulation to confirm pending order placement, time-limit behavior, and trailing logic.
Then forward-test on a demo account to observe real-time spread, slippage, and order acceptance on your broker.
Evaluate during different liquidity conditions (active sessions and quieter periods) to see how execution affects behavior.
Adjust Anchor_Point and Stop Loss to fit the symbol’s typical volatility and your broker’s stop-level constraints.
Change one input group at a time and keep notes so you can compare behavior consistently.
Compatibility
Platform: MetaTrader 4 (MT4).
Symbol: works on the chart symbol where it is attached (broker specifications apply).
Timeframe: logic is primarily order-state and time based; any timeframe can be used for monitoring.
Execution quality (latency, slippage, spread) can materially change outcomes.
FAQ
Q: Does the EA use classic indicators?
A: No. It focuses on price levels, pending orders, and timing rules.
Q: Why can results differ between brokers?
A: Spreads, execution speed, commissions, stop levels, and liquidity can differ.
Q: Why were pending orders rejected?
A: Common reasons include stop/freeze level restrictions, insufficient margin, or trading conditions.
Q: Can I restrict it to one direction only?
A: Yes, set DirectionMode to Buy only or Sell only.
Q: Does trailing work if MT4 is closed?
A: No. Trailing and time-based management require the terminal to remain running.
Q: How do I get support?
A: Support is provided via MQL5 comments or MQL5 messages only.
