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

Participants

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"

Investigation

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
  • Largest Loss: -$805.03
  • Total Profits: $17,140.70
  • Total Losses: -$2,138.44

Account 103477358 (February 2026)

  • Net Profit: $4,155.01 (4%)
  • Largest Win: $3,705.04

Combined Performance

  • Total Profit: ~$19,158.78
  • 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:

double sl = SymbolInfo.Ask() - InpStopLoss * SymbolInfo.Point();

To:

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)

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 http://10.152.183.192:3000/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)
