Under Control

Fair Value Gap, Liquidity Sweep & SuperTrend Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5

Overview

Under Control is a professional Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 built around the combination of Fair Value Gaps, liquidity sweeps, SuperTrend direction and multi-layer signal validation.

The strategy is designed to evaluate price structure rather than react to a single technical condition.

A potential setup passes through several independent filters, including:

Fair Value Gap → Liquidity Sweep → SuperTrend Direction → ATR Noise Filter → Spread Control → Trend Duration → ADX Confirmation → Signal Strength

Only after the configured conditions are satisfied can the Expert Advisor proceed with a trade.

The result is a structured framework that combines market-structure analysis with configurable execution, capital allocation and position protection.

Fair Value Gap & Liquidity Logic

The primary signal engine searches for Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) that meet the minimum size specified by:

SignalFVGMinSizePoints

A Fair Value Gap represents a price imbalance within the recent market structure.

The setup can additionally require a Liquidity Sweep before the FVG is considered valid.

Controlled by:

SignalLiquiditySweepRequired

This allows the trader to decide whether a liquidity event must precede signal validation.

The combination is intended to focus the analysis on situations where price has both interacted with a liquidity area and created a measurable imbalance.

Multi-Layer Signal Confirmation

Under Control does not rely on the FVG condition alone.

The signal engine can combine several independent measurements.

SuperTrend Direction

SignalSuperTrendMultiplie

defines the SuperTrend multiplier used to establish the directional context of the setup.

ATR Noise Filter

SignaATRNoiseFilter

uses ATR-based filtering to reduce the influence of relatively small market fluctuations.

Spread Protection

SignaMaxSpreadAllowed

defines the maximum spread permitted for a trade.

If current spread conditions exceed the configured threshold, the setup can be rejected.

Trend Duration Control

SignaMaxBarsInTrend

limits how long the current trend may have continued before the setup is considered invalid.

ADX Confirmation

SignaADXOpenConfirmation

defines the ADX level required for opening confirmation.

Signal Strength

SignalThreshold

sets the minimum signal strength required before the Expert Advisor can proceed with an entry.

Together, these filters create a configurable validation framework rather than a single-condition entry model.

Capital Allocation & Exposure Control

Under Control includes a dedicated money-management layer designed around capital exposure control.

Automatic position sizing can be enabled through:

AutoCapitalRegulationOn

The target exposure is controlled by:

CapitalExposureRatio

A base position size is provided through:

BaseContractSize

This structure allows the trader to define how the strategy should relate position sizing to available account capital.

Controlled Position Chains

Under Control supports a configurable sequence of positions when the strategy conditions allow additional entries.

The maximum depth is controlled by:

PositionChainDepth

Allocation scaling is controlled by:

AllocationScalingExponent

This creates a predefined mathematical relationship between position size and chain depth.

The structure is therefore configurable and bounded rather than based on unlimited position accumulation.

The Expert Advisor does not use Martingale recovery logic, unlimited pyramiding, or an unrestricted grid-recovery mechanism.

Position Protection

Under Control includes a dedicated protection layer for managing open exposure.

Profit Protection

ProfitCeilingPoints

defines the configured profit distance in points.

Loss Protection

LossFloorPoints

defines the configured loss distance in points.

These parameters establish explicit boundaries for individual positions.

Trailing Engine

An optional trailing mechanism can be enabled through:

TrailingEngineActive

Trailing begins after the configured:

TrailEngagementDistance

and advances according to:

TrailStepPoints

This allows the trader to define when the position-protection mechanism should become active and how aggressively it should follow price.

Optional pending-order trailing can also be configured through:

• TrailPendingActive

• TrailPending

Correction Logic

For prolonged position sequences, an optional correction mechanism is available.

CorrectionStrategy

can adjust protection levels as the position chain develops.

A value of:

0

disables the correction mechanism.

This provides an additional layer of control for configurations that use multiple sequential positions.

Independent Long & Short Control

Long and Short exposure can be configured independently:

• LongExposureEnabled

• ShortExposureEnabled

This allows the Expert Advisor to operate:

• Long only;

• Short only;

• in both directions.

The directional configuration can therefore be adapted to the trader's market model or instrument characteristics.

Execution & Environment

Under Control provides dedicated parameters for managing multiple instances and broker-specific execution requirements.

StrategyInstanceID

A unique identifier for the Expert Advisor instance, equivalent in purpose to a Magic Number.

This helps separate its trades from other strategies running on the same account.

ExecutionTag

A custom text identifier attached to trades for easier organization and monitoring.

FillExecutionPolicy

Defines the MQL5 order-filling policy used for execution.

InstitutionalExecutionMode

Provides an alternative execution mode for brokers requiring specific order-handling behavior.

Recommended Workflow

For best evaluation, test Under Control in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester using the same symbols and timeframes intended for live deployment.

Begin with the default parameters as a reference configuration and then evaluate adjustments based on:

• instrument volatility;

• typical spread;

• commission structure;

• account size;

• available liquidity;

• execution conditions.

For a realistic evaluation, pay particular attention to trading costs and execution quality, since these factors can materially affect short-term and structure-based strategies.

After deploying the Expert Advisor on a demo account, monitor the initial trades and verify that position sizing, exposure, protection levels and execution behavior match your intended configuration.

Designed Around Control

The philosophy behind Under Control is reflected in its architecture.

Control the setup.
Control the exposure.
Control the protection.
Control the execution.

The Expert Advisor combines market-structure concepts with explicit parameters for signal validation, capital allocation, position chains and trade protection.

It is designed for traders who want a configurable framework rather than a single-condition entry algorithm.

Important Notice

Under Control is a trading software tool and does not guarantee profitable results.

Financial markets involve substantial risk, and no combination of technical conditions can guarantee the outcome of a trade.

Backtesting results are not a guarantee of future live performance. Actual results may differ due to spread, commission, slippage, liquidity, execution speed and other market conditions.

Thoroughly test the Expert Advisor on your selected instruments and timeframes before using it with real funds.

Always use position sizing and exposure levels appropriate to your own risk tolerance and trading plan.
