Dear all, since I am a silent reader of this forum I'd like to give something back and hope not being kicked for that. I wanted to make use of Pipsmasher on my own and created a MQL5 Code... Feel free to test it... Overview The Pipmasher RegimeFilter EA is a multi-timeframe swing trading system designed for automated forex trading. It employs a counter-trend strategy using regime analysis across three timeframes to identify high-probability entry points. The system features a dual exit mechanism combining scheduled weekly closes with emergency safety exits. Core Trading Strategy Multi-Timeframe Regime Analysis Longer Timeframe: Monthly (MN1) - Primary trend identification Medium Timeframe: Weekly (W1) - Intermediate trend confirmation Trading Timeframe: Daily (D1) - Entry signal generation The system analyzes candle direction (bullish/bearish/flat) on each timeframe to determine market regime and generate counter-trend signals. Entry Conditions Setup Requirements Long Positions: Longer TF: Bearish (counter-trend) Medium TF: Bullish (with trend) Trading TF: Bearish (counter-trend trigger) Short Positions: Longer TF: Bullish (counter-trend) Medium TF: Bearish (with trend) Trading TF: Bullish (counter-trend trigger) Additional Filters Weekday Filter: Configurable trading days (Monday-Friday) Time Filter: Orders executed only at specified hour Candle Strength Filter: Minimum body-to-range ratio requirement Volume Validation: Ensures lot sizes meet broker requirements Trade Execution Order Type: Market orders (immediate execution) Position Sizing: Fixed lots, percentage-based, or ATR-calculated No Stop Loss/Take Profit: Relies on time-based exits Exit Strategies Primary Exit System (Weekly Close) Schedule: Configurable weekday and time (default: Friday 16:00) Function: Systematic position closure for swing trading cycle Priority: Primary exit mechanism Safety Backup System Maximum Hold Time: Emergency exit after configurable days (default: 10 days) Maximum Loss Protection: Account-based loss limit (default: 20%) Activation: Only when primary system fails Risk Management Position Sizing Options Fixed Lot Size: Constant position size Percentage Risk: Position size based on equity percentage ATR-Based Sizing: Volatility-adjusted position sizing Safety Features Margin Management: Automatic margin requirement calculation Safety Margin: Configurable equity buffer (default: 5%) Loss Monitoring: Real-time drawdown tracking Emergency Stops: Automatic position closure on safety triggers Configuration Settings Time Management Time Mode: Broker time or local computer time Time Offset: Adjustable timezone compensation Trading Hours: Configurable order execution time Trade Control Direction Control: Enable/disable long/short trades Magic Number: Position identification Multiple Timeframe Settings: Customizable TF combinations Performance Optimization Display Control: Optional backtesting display Update Frequency: Configurable refresh intervals Caching System: Optimized data retrieval Technical Features Market Analysis Candle Direction Detection: Automated OHLC analysis Timeframe Synchronization: Multi-TF data coordination Performance Caching: Optimized for speed Trading Infrastructure MQL5 Trade Library: Professional order execution Error Handling: Comprehensive trade validation Logging System: Detailed operation tracking Monitoring and Display Real-time Status: Live trading condition display Position Tracking: Current holdings and age monitoring Performance Metrics: Drawdown and risk tracking Risk Warnings This EA trades without traditional stop losses, relying instead on time-based exits. Users should: Understand the counter-trend strategy risks Monitor account equity regularly Test thoroughly in demo environment Ensure adequate account funding Consider market volatility conditions |
