How It Works

The EA continuously scans XAUUSD across 4H, 1H, and M5 timeframes, building a complete picture of market structure, trend direction, and liquidity levels.

• Reads 4H chart for macro trend direction (bullish/bearish/range)
• Reads 1H chart for intermediate market structure
• Reads M5 chart for entry-level signals and execution
• Updates every tick — no delay, no missed opportunities
• Tracks Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) as key liquidity targets

The Liquidity Engine module maps all significant liquidity pools — areas where stop losses are clustered. These are the targets that "smart money" hunts.

• Detects equal highs/lows (stop clusters above/below key levels)
• Tracks Previous Day High/Low as primary liquidity targets
• Identifies Asian session range highs/lows
• Marks London/NY session opening ranges
• Calculates liquidity density — how many stops are clustered at each level

When price moves to a liquidity pool and sweeps it (wicks beyond the level then reverses), the Sweep Detector fires. This is the highest-weighted signal — 20 points in the scoring system.

• Detects when price wicks beyond a liquidity level then closes back inside
• Confirms sweep direction (bullish sweep of lows = potential buy, bearish sweep of highs = potential sell)
• Records the sweep level for entry calculation
• Logs sweep confirmation in real-time
• Only counts sweeps at significant levels — not random wicks

After a sweep, the EA watches for a Change of Character (CHoCH) — when price breaks the most recent swing high/low in the opposite direction of the prior trend. This confirms the sweep was a stop hunt, not a continuation.

• Monitors swing highs and lows on M5 timeframe
• Triggers when price breaks a swing structure in the new direction
• Worth 10 points in the scoring system
• Often the earliest entry signal in a reversal
• Logged with the exact price level that was broken

A Break of Structure confirms the new direction is not just a fakeout. Price breaks the next swing point in the trend direction, signaling institutional commitment to the move.

• Confirms trend continuation after CHoCH
• Worth 10 points in the scoring system
• Combined with CHoCH = 20 points (strong confirmation)
• Validates that smart money is driving the move
• Filters out false breakouts and noise

Displacement is a strong, fast price move that leaves gaps (FVGs) in its wake. This is the footprint of institutional order flow — banks and funds moving size. Without displacement, there is no real move.

• Measures candle momentum and body size
• Detects 3-candle displacement patterns
• Creates Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) as byproduct
• Worth 10 points in the scoring system
• Weak displacement = lower confidence; strong displacement = institutional activity

The EA identifies the optimal entry zone: the last opposing candle before displacement (Order Block) or the Fair Value Gap left by the displacement move. Price typically returns to these zones before continuing.

• Order Block: last opposing candle before displacement (3 points)
• FVG: gap left by fast displacement move (2 points)
• iFVG: inverse FVG for advanced entries (2 points)
• Entry calculated at the discount zone of the order block
• SL placed beyond the order block / sweep level

Every component is weighted and summed. The EA only trades if the total score meets your minimum threshold (default: 60). This is the quality filter that separates A+ setups from mediocre ones.

• Sweep: 20 points (highest weight)
• 4H Trend alignment: 15 points
• 1H Structure + CHoCH + BOS + Displacement: 40 points
• Session, R:R, Kill Zone, Daily Bias: 20 points
• OB + FVG: 5 points
• Total possible: 100 points — only 60+ trades

Before executing, the EA calculates the exact position size based on your risk percentage, stop-loss distance, and account balance. Every trade has a defined SL and TP from the moment it opens.

• Risk: 0.5% of account balance (adjustable)
• SL: beyond order block or sweep level (structural)
• TP1: 1R (50% position closes here)
• TP2: 2R (remaining 50% closes here)
• Lot size calculated automatically — no manual calculation needed

The EA places the trade with SL and TP attached. No manual intervention required. The trade is managed automatically from open to close.

• Market or limit order based on entry mode
• SL attached at order placement (no naked trades)
• TP1 and TP2 set at calculated levels
• Spread filter prevents entries during high-spread conditions
• Trade logged with full context (score, entry, SL, TP, R:R)

The EA manages the open trade: closes 50% at TP1 to secure profit, then lets the remaining 50% run to TP2. This locks in gains while maximizing upside.

• 50% closes at TP1 (1R) — secures profit, reduces risk
• 50% runs to TP2 (2R) — maximizes upside
• Effective R:R with partial TP: 1.5:1
• SL remains in place throughout — no naked exposure
• Trade resolution logged with MFE/MAE (max favorably/adverse excursion)

After the trade closes, the EA logs the full outcome: entry, exit, MFE, MAE, win/loss, and the complete setup context. This creates an audit trail for performance analysis.

• Logs entry price, exit price, duration, P&L
• Records MFE (maximum profit) and MAE (maximum drawdown)
• Tracks win rate, profit factor, average win/loss
• Prediction tracker compares live vs blocked setups
• All data available in MT5 Experts log for review
