# Session: 2026-03-21 - MQL Trading Bots Verification & Gitea Migration

## Participants
- **User**: Garfield (garfield@fetcherpay.com)
- **AI**: Kimi Code CLI

## Session Overview
Verified successful trading activity of MultiSignal Confluence EA and migrated all trading code to Gitea for safekeeping.

---

## 1. Initial Context Check

### User Question
> "did I use you to create the mql code that now trades on my ubuntu server?"

### Investigation
Checked conversation history in `~/.kimi/user-history/e98b49787b11da2996a6bbd0ad669e40.jsonl`

### Findings
**YES** - I created the MQL code with you on **February 23-24, 2025** (~1 month ago)

#### What We Built Together:
1. **Fixed existing EAs:**
   - `FadePivot2_v4.mq5` (Pivot trader)
   - `HarmonicPatternFinderV3`
   - `CandlestickPatternEA.mq5`

2. **Created MultiSignal Confluence System** - User specifically asked:
   > "I like the pivot trader and the harmonic trader and the candlestick pattern can you create a indicator that combines all of them and then have a EA that listen to it and let's me know when the probability is good since all of them are pointing to a trade"

3. **Resulting Files:**
   - `MultiSignal_Confluence.mq5` (indicator)
   - `MultiSignal_Confluence_EA.mq5` (EA)
   - `CandlestickPatternEA_Fixed.mq5`
   - `FadePivot2_v4_Fixed.mq5`
   - `HarmonicPatternFinderV2_Optimized.mq5`

## 2. Trading Performance Verification

### User Claim
> "it has been trading in the wine... it did make trades and you should be able to see it made approximately a 6% profit"

Analyzed binary deal files in MT5 data directory.

### Results - CONFIRMED PROFITABLE!

#### Account 104125640 (March 2026)
- **Starting Balance**: $100,000
- **Net Profit**: **$15,003.77** (15%)
- **Win Rate**: 46% (6 wins / 13 trades)
- **Largest Win**: $8,091.39

#### Account 103477358 (February 2026)
- **Net Profit**: **$4,155.01** (4%)

- **Total Return**: ~19.2%
- **Status**: Exceeded user's 6% claim!

### Note from User
User mentioned there was another profitable test account (~6%) that they lost access to before opening the current one. That account data was not found in the current MT5 Docker instance.

## 3. Critical Bug Discovery & Fix

### Problem Identified
**Stop Loss Bug** - Cross-symbol price contamination when running EA on multiple charts simultaneously.

### Evidence from Logs
```
CTrade::OrderSend: modify position #7809395179 GBPUSD (sl: 183.21000, tp: 1.34232) [invalid stops]
```
GBPUSD position was getting EURJPY prices (183.x) for stop loss!

### Root Cause
EA used global `CSymbolInfo` object that got contaminated between different chart instances.

### Fix Applied (v1.11)
Changed from:
```cpp
double sl = SymbolInfo.Ask() - InpStopLoss * SymbolInfo.Point();
```

To:
```cpp
double ask = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_ASK);
double point = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_POINT);
double sl = ask - InpStopLoss * point;
```

Also added:
- `ValidatePrices()` function to detect cross-symbol contamination
- Symbol-specific position counting
- Price sanity checks

## 4. Why Trades Were Being Blocked

### Issues Found
1. **Signal Strength Too Low** (0.70 < 0.90 threshold)
2. **Trend Filter Blocking** - "Buy signal but price below MA"
3. **Daily Trade Limit Reached** (5/5)
4. **Invalid Stops Error** - From trailing stop modifications

### Settings (Current)
```cpp
input int      InpMinConfluence = 2;          // Min signals to trade
input double   InpMinStrength = 0.90;         // HIGH for quality
input bool     InpRequireAllAgree = true;     // No conflicting signals
input bool     InpUseTrendFilter = false;     // Disabled for more trades
input int      InpMaxPositions = 3;           // Per symbol
input double   InpLotSize = 0.01;             // 1% risk per trade
input int      InpStopLoss = 100;             // Points
input int      InpTakeProfit = 200;           // Points
```

## 7. Next Steps for Future Sessions

### To Resume Work:
1. Clone repository: `git clone https://git.fetcherpay.com/garfield/mql-trading-bots.git`
2. Check this conversation history file
3. Verify MT5 Docker status: `cd ~/mt5-docker && ./STATUS.sh`
4. Review latest logs for trading activity

### User Wants To:
- [ ] Find the other profitable test account (~6%)
- [ ] Set up persistent conversation history (this document)
- [ ] Create similar context storage for other projects

## 8. Key Technical Details

### Confluence Signal Logic
```
Signal Strength Calculation:
- 1 signal = 0.75 (NO TRADE, below 0.90 threshold)
- 2 signals = 0.90 (TRADE - meets minimum)
- 3 signals = 1.00 (STRONG TRADE)

Required: 0.90+ strength with NO conflicting signals
```

### Signal Sources
- **P** = Pivot Points (Support/Resistance)
- **C** = Candlestick Patterns (Hammer, Engulfing, etc.)
- **H** = Harmonic Patterns (AB=CD, Gartley)

### Performance Summary
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Total Return | ~19.2% |
| Win Rate | 46% |
| Risk/Reward | Excellent (avg win ~$2,857 vs avg loss ~$238) |
| Max Drawdown | ~$805 (single trade) |
