# Session: 2026-04-01 - MT5 Trading Analysis & EA Fixes
|
||
|
||
## Participants
|
||
- **User**: Garfield (garfield@fetcherpay.com)
|
||
- **AI**: opencode
|
||
|
||
## Session Overview
|
||
Analyzed MT5 trading logs, identified critical bugs and misconfigurations, and applied fixes to both the Confluence EA and the Grid EA.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 1. Trading Activity Summary
|
||
|
||
- **Account**: 104125640 — MetaQuotes-Demo, Hedging
|
||
- **March P&L**: ~+$541,735.64 (1,199 deals) — heavy demo activity
|
||
- **Apr 1 Activity**: 106 deals (much quieter than Mar 31)
|
||
- **Current Open Positions**: 45 positions
|
||
- **Primary EAs**: `MultiSignal_Confluence_EA v1.18` + `OrdersEA_Smart_Grid v3.2`
|
||
|
||
### Confluence EA Status
|
||
- **Effectively dormant** over the last 2 days.
|
||
- Blocked by: low signal strength (23x) and ATR/volatility filters (7x).
|
||
- Filters are working as designed — avoiding choppy markets.
|
||
|
||
### Grid EA Status
|
||
- Active on NZDUSD, GBPJPY, USDCAD, GBPUSD.
|
||
- Identified a critical **order clustering bug** causing multiple stop orders to stack within 1 pip.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 2. Critical Fixes Applied
|
||
|
||
### A. Grid Clustering Bug — FIXED & RECOMPILED
|
||
**File**: `~/mt5-docker/config/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5/MQL5/Experts/OrdersEA_Smart_Grid.mq5`
|
||
|
||
**Problem**: When a calculated grid level was too close to current price, the EA clamped it to the minimum allowed distance. This caused multiple buy/sell stops to pile up at the same price.
|
||
|
||
**Fix**: Changed `PlaceBuyStop()` and `PlaceSellStop()` to **skip (`return false`)** levels that are too close, rather than clamping them.
|
||
|
||
**Status**: ✅ Recompiled successfully (`.ex5` updated).
|
||
|
||
### B. Desktop `.set` Files — FIXED
|
||
**Files**: `~/Desktop/confluence*.set`
|
||
|
||
**Problem**: These files used old parameter names from a previous EA version (`InpMinConfluenceStrength`, `InpMaxSignalAge`, `InpUseATRFilter`, `InpAvoidWeekends`, etc.). MT5 silently ignored them, so charts were running on defaults.
|
||
|
||
**Fix**: Rewrote all Desktop confluence `.set` files with correct `v1.18` parameter names, then synced them with the optimized `MQL5/Presets/` versions.
|
||
|
||
### C. Unique Magic Numbers — ENSURED
|
||
- **Confluence presets**: Each pair now has a unique magic number (e.g., `777772` for EURUSD, `777780` for GBPJPY). `confluence-audusd.set` was kept at `777777` to avoid orphaning live trades.
|
||
- **Grid presets**: Already unique (`333001`–`333014`). Desktop grid `.set` files were synced to match.
|
||
|
||
### D. New Feature: `InpStopAfterProfit` — ADDED
|
||
**File**: `OrdersEA_Smart_Grid.mq5`
|
||
|
||
**What it does**: When enabled (`InpStopAfterProfit=true`), the Grid EA stops placing new grids for the rest of the day after a **profitable cycle** (all positions close with equity higher than the cycle start).
|
||
|
||
**Reset**: Automatically clears at broker time hour `00:00`.
|
||
|
||
**Parameter added** to all grid `.set` files (default `false`).

## 4. Action Items for User
|
||
|
||
1. **Reload `.set` files** on all MT5 charts (Properties → Load → select preset).
|
||
2. **Remove and re-attach** `OrdersEA_Smart_Grid` to pick up the recompiled binary with fixes.
|
||
3. **Restart MT5** after reloading to ensure clean state.
|
||
4. Optionally enable `InpStopAfterProfit=true` on grid charts if you want one profitable cycle per day.
