Pipsgrowth.com EX01003 AdaptiveForexMaster FillingMode Fixed — multi-adaptive confirmation EA, full 12-layer stack, configurable timeframe, trailing/BE/profit-lock toggles, pyramid gate, spread filter, new-bar gate.

Overview

Pipsgrowth EX01003 Adaptive sits at the heavier end of the Adaptive family: an 87-input, 62-function MQL5 implementation that fuses a five-indicator confirmation stack, a regime classifier, multi-timeframe alignment, and a self-tuning sensitivity loop on top of a vanilla indicator suite. The point of the design is to refuse trades that look attractive on one timeframe but disagree on another, and to keep changing the rules when the character of the market changes. Magic 22201003, M5 default chart, XAUUSD-compatible input set, $100 minimum deposit as declared on the broker-facing description.

The signal engine in GetMarketSignalWithRegime() works off closed-bar prices (shift 1) so the EA never repaints. Five indicators feed a regime-aware scoring system. The Adaptive Moving Average — built from iAMA with period 14, fast EMA 2, slow EMA 30 — produces the primary crossover trigger. RSI(14) and Stochastic(14,3,3) contribute oscillator votes, and MACD(12,26,9) adds a trend vote. ATR(14) is the volatility backbone: it sizes stops, scales positions, sets the partial-close target, and feeds the trailing distance. The five indicators are also cross-correlated through CalculateIndicatorCorrelations() and HasSufficientCorrelation(). A signal is rejected if the indicators do not all broadly agree (CorrelationThreshold 0.7 by default). That single gate eliminates most of the chop-trade noise that pure crossover systems suffer from.

The regime classifier in DetectMarketRegime() reads 100 bars of closes and splits the market into five states: REGIME_TRENDING_UP, REGIME_TRENDING_DOWN, REGIME_RANGING, REGIME_VOLATILE, REGIME_QUIET. Trend strength is computed with three blended methods and gated against TrendThreshold = 0.6 (range 0.5–1.0). Volatility is read as a ratio against a baseline and gated against VolatilityThreshold = 1.5. The classifier updates every 15 minutes rather than every tick, which keeps the regime sticky enough to avoid whipsaw classification but reactive enough to catch real turns. The active regime changes the weights in the buy/sell score: in trending markets AMA, MACD, and the trend signal carry 3.0, 2.5, and 2.0 weights respectively; in ranging markets the weights flip and RSI gets 3.0 with Stochastic at 2.5. A combined buy or sell score must reach 4.0 and exceed the opposing side by 20% before a trade is dispatched. That threshold is what signalThreshold = 4.0 enforces in code.

Above the entry layer sits the multi-timeframe confirmation system. UpdateMultiTimeframeAnalysis() runs the same AMA and MACD on a ConfirmationTimeframe (H4 by default — input index 8) and a FilterTimeframe (D1 by default — input index 9). IsMultiTimeframeAligned() then refuses a long entry if the H4 trend direction is negative, and refuses a short entry if it is positive. When RequireAllTimeframesAlign = true, the D1 filter is also enforced. HullTimeframe = 8 (H4) plus HullPeriod = 21 gives the third independent confirmation: a custom Hull MA built from 2×LWMA(n/2) − LWMA(n), with slope, price-vs-Hull, and momentum blended into a single trend-direction reading. IsHullConfirmationValid() drops any entry where the Hull direction disagrees with the entry side, and RequireHullAlignment = true makes that gate mandatory by default. By the time a trade is fired, it has cleared three different timeframes, five indicators, a correlation test, a regime filter, a session filter, a spread filter, a news filter, a market-quality check, a pyramid gate, a max-open-position cap, a daily-trade cap, a daily-loss cap, a weekly-loss cap, an equity-protection floor, and a capital-cap and capital-floor. That is the meaning of the 12-layer stack label that the source header advertises.

Risk control starts with CalculateLotSize(). Effective capital is AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_EQUITY), capped at InpCapAmount (default 0 = disabled) and floored at InpCapFloor (default 100.0). The risk amount is capital × RiskPercent (default 1.0% per trade), then converted to lots using the actual stop distance in points and SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE. The hard ceiling is InpMaxLot = 100.0. Volatility regime further scales position size: LowVolatilityMultiplier = 0.7, HighVolatilityMultiplier = 0.4. So a 1% risk on a high-vol day actually risks closer to 0.4%. The minimum recommended deposit in the description is $100, and with 1% per trade the natural lot size is well below any broker's SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN issues on a standard account.

Position management runs every tick inside UpdatePositionManagement() / ProcessAdvancedPositionManagement(). The five stages, in priority order, are: (1) opposite-signal exit — any open position is closed if GetMarketSignalWithRegime() flips to the other side; (2) partial close at PartialCloseTarget = 1.0 ATR of profit, closing PartialClosePercent = 50% of the position; (3) break-even move at BreakEvenTrigger = 1.0 ATR of profit, lifting the stop to entry plus spread; (4) advanced trailing at TrailingATRMultiplier = 1.5 ATR distance, which only kicks in after the break-even move; (5) time-based exit at MaxTradeHours = 24. On top of that, the InpEnableProfitLock system with ProfitLockIncrement = 10.0 and ProfitLockStep = 3.0 ratchets the stop up in 10-point increments, keeping a 3-point trail behind the highest locked level.

Scaling is opt-in via UsePositionScaling. When enabled, additional positions in the same direction are added after the original trade is at least MinimumProfitATR = 1.0 ATR in profit, capped at MaxAdditionalPositions = 3, each at ScalingLotMultiplier = 0.8 of the previous lot. The gate is AllowScalingOnlyInTrend = true by default, so the EA refuses to scale in a ranging regime. A hard 22:00 server-time close (CloseAdditionalTradesHour) clears all scaled-in positions regardless of PnL.

The no-trade gate is just as strict. IsSafeToTrade() checks the capital cap and floor, the equity-protection ratio (MinEquityPercent = 80.0), the realized daily PnL (MaxDailyLossPercent = 3.0), the realized weekly PnL (InpMaxWeeklyLossPct = 8.0), the InpMaxConsecLosses = 3 counter with InpCooldownMin = 30 cooldown, the global InpMaxDDPct = 20.0 kill switch, the manual InpKillSwitch toggle, and the dry-run InpDryRun flag. The session gate runs in GMT (auto-detected via weekend-gap detection if InpServerGMTOffset = 0): London 7–16, NY 12–21, and Asia is refused when InpAvoidAsia = true (default). The spread gate uses InpMaxSpread = 50 points plus an adaptive MaxSpreadMultiplier = 2.0 × 20-bar moving average. The liquidity gate rejects bars with iVolume below MinLiquidityVolume = 100.

In backtest on M5 XAUUSD, expect a low-frequency cadence — five trades a day is the hard cap, and the regime + correlation filters cut that further on most days. Most weeks will print zero or one trades. Curve shape is determined less by win rate and more by the quality of the rare entries that pass every layer. The trade-off is clear: the EA sacrifices trade count for signal purity. A user who wants more activity should lower TrendThreshold toward 0.5, disable RequireHullAlignment, or set RequireAllTimeframesAlign = false — every relaxation of the gate is explicit in the input panel.

Strategy Deep Dive

Every tick the EA first runs IsSafeToTrade() to enforce capital floor, capital cap, equity-protection ratio, daily/weekly loss caps, and the 30-minute cooldown after three consecutive losses, then calls DetectMarketRegime() to classify the current bar as trending up, trending down, ranging, volatile, or quiet. If the regime is acceptable, UpdateMultiTimeframeAnalysis() reads AMA and MACD on the H4 confirmation timeframe and the D1 filter timeframe, and UpdateHullConfirmation() builds a custom Hull MA direction on H4. The signal path then evaluates GetMarketSignalWithRegime() only on a new bar (the new-bar gate enforced by InpSignalOnBarClose = true), with all five indicators — AMA, RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ATR — weighted by the active regime. A combined buy or sell score must reach 4.0 and beat the opposite side by 20% before IsMultiTimeframeAligned() and IsHullConfirmationValid() give the final go/no-go, after which OpenBuyOrder() or OpenSellOrder() sizes the lot through CalculateLotSize() and dispatches the order with the supported filling mode. While the position is open, UpdatePositionManagement() runs the five-stage exit chain every tick: opposite-signal close, 50% partial at 1×ATR, break-even at 1×ATR, ATR-trailing at 1.5×ATR, and 24-hour hard exit. CheckPositionScaling() adds scaled-in positions at 0.8× lot when the trade is at least 1×ATR in profit and the regime is trending, capped at three additions per direction and force-closed at 22:00 server time.

Entry Signal

Entries fire only on a closed bar of the user-selected timeframe (M5 default) when GetMarketSignalWithRegime() returns a directional score above 4.0 and 20% above the opposite side. The score is built from five indicators — AMA(14, 2, 30), RSI(14), MACD(12, 26, 9), Stochastic(14, 3, 3), and ATR(14) — reweighted by the current regime (trending favors AMA+MACD+trend, ranging favors RSI+stoch). A long signal additionally needs a bullish H4 AMA, a non-conflicting D1 filter, and Hull MA confirmation; the indicator-correlation gate must pass at 0.7.

Exit Signal

Exits run in five stages inside ProcessAdvancedPositionManagement(): (1) opposite-signal close, (2) 50% partial close at 1×ATR profit, (3) break-even move at 1×ATR profit, (4) ATR-multiple trailing at 1.5×ATR that only activates after break-even, and (5) hard time-based exit at MaxTradeHours (24 by default). On top of that, the ProfitLock system ratchets the stop in 10-point increments with a 3-point trail behind the highest locked level, scaling trade-by-trade instead of by a single static trail.

Stop Loss

Stop loss is set at SLMultiplier × ATR from entry (default 1.0 ATR), sized so that losing the stop risks exactly RiskPercent of effective capital. A hard InpMaxDDPct = 20% kill switch, MaxDailyLossPercent = 3%, InpMaxWeeklyLossPct = 8%, equity-protection at 80% of initial balance, capital floor at $100, and 30-minute cooldown after 3 consecutive losses all close every open position before another entry is even considered.

Take Profit

Take profit is set at TPMultiplier × ATR from entry (default 2.0 ATR — conservative 1:2 risk-to-reward). Most positions close earlier than TP via the partial-close at 1×ATR profit (50% of the lot), with the remainder left to the trailing system, profit-lock ratchet, or the 24-hour time exit.

Best For

Minimum recommended balance is $100 with 1% risk per trade, the level the input panel is calibrated for. The natural home is M5 XAUUSD, where the regime classifier has enough bars to identify a state and the Hull MA at H4 still has signal strength. Because the EA explicitly avoids the Asian session by default and gates on news, the operating window is the London and New York hours in GMT (7–16 London, 12–21 New York, with the overlap 12–16 being the most productive). A broker that offers IOC or FOK filling, low spread on XAUUSD (the 50-point default InpMaxSpread is calibrated for a typical gold-broker tick size), and reliable tick volume is required. The EA is unsuitable for accounts that want constant activity: on a normal week it may print zero to two trades, by design.
