Pipsgrowth EX12006 MultiIndicatorConfluence

Pipsgrowth EX12006 enforces a strict three-of-three multi-timeframe matrix on USDJPY M5 before any order is sent. Three independent votes, drawn from three different timeframes and three different indicator families, must all point the same direction in the same closed bar. The first vote is a SuperTrend flip on the H1 trend timeframe (configurable via InpTF_Trend, default 8 in the source which maps to PERIOD_H1 in the MapTimeframeInt switch) with period 10 and multiplier 3.0, recomputed in MQL5 for the most recent 200 closed bars inside the SuperTrendDir function. The second vote is a Hull Moving Average slope on the momentum timeframe (InpTF_Mom default 6 in source, which the MapTimeframeInt switch maps to PERIOD_H4 — the in-source comment however calls this the M15 momentum TF, so most operators set it to 3 for PERIOD_M15), built directly from WMA primitives in the HMAat and WMAat helpers. The third vote is a 9/21 EMA cross on the M5 signal timeframe, evaluated on the just-closed bar inside CoreSignal. Only when all three votes register +1 (or all three register -1) does the EA emit a directional signal; anything less returns zero with confidence below 100%.

That 3-of-3 AND gate is the architectural center of EX12006 and the reason the EA fires far less often than typical M5 trend strategies. The matrix is paired with a seven-state regime classifier (DetectRegime) that reads ADX(14), ATR(14), and Bollinger Bands(20, 2.0) on the M5 chart. ADX at or above 30 returns REG_STRONG_TREND; ADX at or above the configurable InpADXMin (default 20) returns REG_WEAK_TREND; an ATR-percentile above 70 with concurrent Bollinger Band-width expansion above 1.15× returns REG_EXPAND; ATR-percentile below 25 returns REG_COMPRESS; a tight BB (band-width over band-mid below 0.0015) with rising ADX returns REG_BREAKOUT; everything else falls through to REG_RANGE. A failure to copy any of the seven buffers returns REG_CHOPPY, which the no-trade gate treats as a hard block.

ConfirmEntry then requires the H1 EMA(InpHTFEMA = 50) to agree with the direction on the closed bar — a long only fires if the last M5 close sits above the H1 EMA(50), a short only if it sits below. The spread filter caps entries at InpMaxSpreadPts = 35 points (USDJPY-tuned, roughly 3.5 pips on a 3-digit quote feed), and the session window is 6:00 to 22:00 server time hardcoded via SESSION_START_HOUR and SESSION_END_HOUR.

NoTradeBlock layers in further gates: the InpKillSwitch toggle, abnormal spread, low-liquidity session, CHOPPY regime, a one-shot news/big-candle block (closed-bar range above 3×ATR(14) via BIG_CANDLE_ATR_MULT = 3.0), a 3-bar cooldown after three consecutive losing trades, a hard capital floor at InpCapitalCapFloor = $50, a daily loss limit at 3% of effective capital, a single-position cap (MAX_OPEN_TRADES = 1), and weekend-proximity shutdowns for Friday after 21:00 and all of Saturday and Sunday. The effective capital used for sizing and loss accounting is the lesser of InpCapitalCapAmount (default 0, meaning disabled — operators who want to limit the EA's exposure to a subset of their account set InpCapitalCapAmount to a non-zero value) and the actual account equity.

Position sizing runs through CalcLots: 0.5% of effective capital at risk (InpRiskPercent = 0.5), divided by the per-lot loss at the chosen stop distance, with the result floored and clamped to the broker's lot step / min / max. SL is set at 2.0×ATR(14) on the closed bar (configurable via InpATRSLMult, default 2.0); TP is set at 2.0× the resulting R distance (configurable via InpRRTP, default 2.0), giving a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. When the broker's SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL requires a wider stop, the SL/TP distance is widened via MinStopsDist() to honor it.

The ManageExits cascade is four steps run on every tick for any open position with the matching magic and symbol. At +1R, the position moves to break-even (USE_BREAK_EVEN = true, hardcoded). Also at +1R, half the position is closed as a partial take-profit (PARTIAL_TP_PCT = 50.0%, hardcoded), locking in part of the move while leaving the rest in the trade. After that, an ATR-trailing stop at 2.5×ATR(14) (configurable via InpATRTrailMult, default 2.5) ratchets behind the position bar by bar. The fourth step is a time-based exit at MAX_BARS_IN_TRADE = 120 bars (10 hours on M5), enforced via TryClose_EX12006 with the standard three-attempt retry on REQUOTE / TIMEOUT / PRICE_OFF / PRICE_CHANGED.

The OppositeAndRegimeExit sweep runs immediately after ManageExits and closes the position when either the CoreSignal flips to the opposite direction or the regime shifts to CHOPPY, RANGE, or COMPRESS. The 3-consecutive-loss cooldown (COOLDOWN_AFTER_LOSS = 3) is enforced through the OnTradeTransaction handler, which walks DEAL_ENTRY_OUT and DEAL_ENTRY_INOUT events to keep a running loss counter, and when that counter hits 3, g_cooldown_until is set 3 bars into the future and the counter is reset. The result is a USDJPY M5 trend follower with a hard pre-trade filter stack, a layered mid-trade management cascade, and a regime-aware exit hatch.

The default InpDryRun = true means EX12006 ships with live order submission disabled — the EA logs entry attempts in the journal with full SL/TP/sizing detail but never sends a market order. Operators who have validated the behavior in the Strategy Tester should flip InpDryRun to false only after running the EA on a demo account for at least a week and confirming the spread filter, capital floor, and session window are tuned to the broker's actual quote feed. The OnTester custom criterion is (netProfit × profitFactor) / (1 + |balanceDrawdown|), with a 30-trade floor below which the result is forced to 0, which the optimizer uses to rank parameter combinations. SetTypeFillingBySymbol and SetDeviationInPoints(20) are set in OnInit so the EA auto-negotiates the broker's allowed fill policy and accepts up to 2.0 points of slippage per order.
