🎨 Core Strategy Design

📈 Bias Filter (Trend Direction)

200-Period EMA

• Long signals only above EMA

• Short signals only below EMA

• Establishes trend-following bias

🎯 Entry Signal (Mean-Reversion)

Bollinger Bands + RSI

• Buy: Lower BB touch + RSI < 30

• Sell: Upper BB touch + RSI > 70

• Overbought/oversold within trend

Strategy Classification: Hybrid Trend-Following Mean-Reversion

Edge: Captures mean reversion moves within confirmed trends, reducing false signals in ranging markets

🚨 Critical Issues Detected

CRITICAL - Code Breaking

🔴 Issue #1: Missing StringTrim Function

Impact: EA will fail to compile or crash on initialization when processing news event strings

Location: News parsing functions

❌ Current Code

// MQL5 doesn't have built-in StringTrim
result = StringTrim(newsEvent); // COMPILATION ERROR

✅ Fixed Solution

// Add custom StringTrim function
string StringTrim(string str) {
    string result = str;
    StringTrimLeft(result);
    StringTrimRight(result);
    return result;
}

CRITICAL - Risk Management

🔴 Issue #2: Incorrect VolForRisk Calculation

Impact: Position sizes will be calculated incorrectly, leading to risk exposure much higher or lower than intended

Root Cause: PipValuePerLot returns tick value per 1.0 lot but calculation needs value per point

❌ Broken Logic

// Incorrect - doesn't account for specific volume
double perPoint = PipValuePerLot(s);
return riskMoney / (stopPts * perPoint);

✅ Correct Calculation

// Correct point value calculation
double pointValue = SymbolInfoDouble(s, SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE) 
    / (SymbolInfoDouble(s, SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE) / PointValue(s));
return riskMoney / (stopDistancePrice / PointValue(s) * pointValue);

4 / 12

🚨 Critical Issues (Continued)

CRITICAL - Volume Handling

🔴 Issue #3: Incorrect RoundVolume Implementation

Impact: Positions may fail to open if calculated volume is invalid. EA might crash on first few bars if ATR unavailable

❌ Current (Wrong Order)

// NormalizeDouble applied outside clamping
return NormalizeDouble(
    MathMax(minv, MathMin(maxv, vol)), 2
);

✅ Corrected Logic

// Round first, then clamp, then normalize
double r = MathRound(vol/step) * step;
r = MathMax(minv, MathMin(maxv, r));
return NormalizeDouble(r, 2);

HIGH - Logic Flaw

🟠 Issue #4: Partial Close Bookkeeping Error

Impact: Second partial close (PC_Close2_Pct) calculated against reduced volume instead of original volume

Problem: Uses unreliable POSITION_VOLUME_MAX instead of tracking original volume

❌ Unreliable Method

// This doesn't reliably store original volume
double origVol = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME_MAX);
double closeLots = origVol * (PC_Close2_Pct/100.0);

✅ Proper Volume Tracking

// Store original volume on entry
struct PositionRecord {
    ulong ticket;
    double originalVolume;
};
PositionRecord positionRecords[];
// Reference stored volume for calculations

5 / 12

⚠️ Medium Priority Issues

MEDIUM - Array Management

🟡 Issue #5: Fixed Array Limits

Impact: Partial close tracking arrays have fixed size (256) that could overflow in edge cases

// Current - Fixed size arrays
ulong T1HitTickets[256]; int T1Count = 0;
ulong T2HitTickets[256]; int T2Count = 0;

// Recommended - Dynamic arrays
ulong T1HitTickets[]; int T1Count = 0;
ulong T2HitTickets[]; int T2Count = 0;
ArrayResize(T1HitTickets, 0);  // Initialize as dynamic

MEDIUM - Configuration

🟡 Issue #6: Hard-Coded Magic Number

Impact: Running multiple EA instances on same symbol will cause conflicts

❌ Hard-Coded

// Fixed magic number
ulong Magic = 880215;

✅ Configurable

// Make it an input parameter
input ulong Magic = 880215;

MEDIUM - Error Handling

🟡 Issue #7: Insufficient Trade Error Handling

Impact: EA may silently fail to open/modify positions without alerting trader

// Add comprehensive error handling
bool ExecuteTradeWithRetry() {
    int maxRetries = 3;
    for(int i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
        if(Trade.Buy(...)) {
            return true;
        }
        int error = GetLastError();
        if(error == ERR_REQUOTE || error == ERR_PRICE_CHANGED) {
            Sleep(500);  // Wait and retry
            continue;
        }
        SendTelegramAlert("Trade failed: " + ErrorDescription(error));
        break;
    }
    return false;
}

🚀 Performance Optimizations

⚡ Optimization #1: Indicator Caching

Problem: Recalculating ATR Every Tick

// Current - Expensive repeated calculation
void OnTick() {
    double atr = CalcATR();  // Called every tick!
    // ... rest of logic
}

Solution: Cache with Time-Based Invalidation

// Optimized - Cache ATR values
double lastATR = 0;
datetime lastATRTime = 0;

double GetCachedATR() {
    if(TimeCurrent() - lastATRTime > 60) {  // Cache for 1 minute
        lastATR = CalcATR();
        lastATRTime = TimeCurrent();
    }
    return lastATR;
}

✅ Estimated Performance Gain: 60-80% reduction in indicator calculations

⚡ Optimization #2: Position Loop Reduction

Problem: Counting Positions Every Tick

// Current - Loop through all positions every tick
void OnTick() {
    int buyCount = 0, sellCount = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i < PositionsTotal(); i++) {
        // Count positions...
    }
}

Solution: Event-Based Position Tracking

// Optimized - Update only on trade events
int cachedBuyCount = 0, cachedSellCount = 0;
datetime lastPosCheck = 0;

void OnTradeTransaction() {
    // Update counts only when trades occur
    UpdatePositionCounts();
}

✅ Estimated Performance Gain: 90%+ reduction in position enumeration overhead

RiskManager.mqh

Centralized risk calculations including position sizing, ATR-based stops, daily loss limits, and exposure management.

TelegramClient.mqh

Abstracted notification system with message queuing, rate limiting, and formatted trade alerts.

TradeManager.mqh

Handles partial closes, breakeven, trailing stops, and position lifecycle management with error handling.

SessionFilter.mqh

Weekly calendar logic, time-based filters, spread controls, and market hour restrictions.

Benefits of Modular Architecture:

✅ Improved maintainability and testing

✅ Easier debugging and error isolation

✅ Reusable components across multiple EAs

✅ Cleaner code organization and readability

8 / 12

🛡️ Enhanced Risk Management

💎 Advanced Risk Features

🔗 Correlation Protection

Prevent over-exposure to correlated pairs by tracking cross-pair correlation coefficients and limiting concurrent positions

📉 Dynamic Risk Adjustment

Automatically reduce risk percentage after losing streaks and increase after winning streaks (Anti-Martingale)

⏰ Time-Based Risk

Reduce position size during high-volatility news periods and increase during stable trading sessions

💰 Equity Curve Protection

Implement equity high-water marks with automatic drawdown limits to protect accumulated profits

🎯 R-Multiple Tracking

Track all trades in R-multiples for consistent risk-reward analysis and performance metrics

🌊 Volatility Filter

Only trade when ATR is above minimum threshold to avoid choppy, low-movement periods

📊 Proposed Risk Parameters

// Enhanced risk configuration
input double BaseRiskPercent = 0.5;           // Base risk per trade
input double MaxDailyRiskPercent = 2.0;      // Maximum daily loss
input double MaxCorrelatedExposure = 3.0;   // Max % in correlated pairs
input int    MinATRThreshold = 10;           // Minimum ATR in points
input bool   UseAntiMartingale = true;       // Dynamic risk adjustment
input double MaxDrawdownPercent = 15.0;     // Max DD from equity high

These enhancements transform the EA from a basic scalper into an institutional-grade trading system with multi-layered risk protection
