# AI Agent Context - MQL Trading Bots
This file provides context for AI assistants working on this codebase.
## Project Overview
- **Type:** MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors (EAs) for automated forex trading
- **Language:** MQL5 (C++ like)
- **Platform:** MT5 via Wine on Ubuntu server
- **Repository:** https://git.fetcherpay.com/garfield/mql-trading-bots
## Active EAs
### 1. MultiSignal_Confluence_EA.mq5 (PRIMARY)
- **Purpose:** Trades based on confluence of 3 signals (Pivot, Candlestick, Harmonic)
- **Current Version:** v1.14
- **Strategy:** BUY when 2+ signals agree, strength >= 0.90
- **Key Settings:**
- `InpMagicNumber = 777777`
- `InpMinConfluence = 2`
- `InpMinStrength = 0.90`
- `InpUseVolatilityFilter = true`
- `InpUseADXFilter = true`
- `InpMaxDailyDrawdown = 3.0`
### 2. OrdersEA_Smart_Grid.mq5
- **Purpose:** Grid trading around daily pivot levels
- **Current Version:** v3.1
- **Key Settings:**
- `MagicNum = 333`
- `UseAutoPivots = true`
- `InpCloseBeforeWeekend = true` (v3.1 new!)
- `MaxLevels = 10`
## Common Tasks
### Deploying EAs to MT5
```bash
# Copy to MT5
cp /home/garfield/mql-trading-bots/MultiSignal_Confluence_EA.mq5 \
~/mt5-docker/config/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/MetaTrader\ 5/MQL5/Experts/
cp /home/garfield/mql-trading-bots/OrdersEA_Smart_Grid.mq5 \
~/mt5-docker/config/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/MetaTrader\ 5/MQL5/Experts/
```
### Verifying Short Signals
```bash
cd /home/garfield/mql-trading-bots
python3 verify-short-signals.py
```
### Checking MT5 Status
```bash
cd ~/mt5-docker && ./STATUS.sh
```
### Viewing Reports
```bash
# Direct browser access (no VM crash!)
file:///home/garfield/mt5-docker/config/.wine/drive_c/users/abc/Desktop/ReportHistory-104125640.html
```
## Critical Bugs Fixed (DO NOT REVERT)
### v1.11 - Stop Loss Cross-Symbol Contamination
```cpp
// WRONG (uses global CSymbolInfo that gets contaminated)
double sl = SymbolInfo.Ask() - InpStopLoss * SymbolInfo.Point();
// CORRECT (uses _Symbol directly)
double ask = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_ASK);
double point = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_POINT);
double sl = ask - InpStopLoss * point;
```
### v1.14 - Short Signal Detection
```cpp
// WRONG (restrictive - blocks shorts when price above pivot)
if(nearResistance || (rejectedFromResistance && belowPivot))
// CORRECT (mirrors BUY logic)
if(nearResistance || rejectedFromResistance)
```
### v3.1 - Weekend Gap Protection
```cpp
// Must check Friday before market close
if(dt.day_of_week == FRIDAY && dt.hour >= InpWeekendCloseHour) {
CloseAllPositions("Weekend protection");
CancelAllOrders("Weekend protection");
}
```
## MT5 Compilation Errors (Common)
| Error | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| `undeclared identifier 'trade'` | Add `#include <Trade\Trade.mqh>` |
| `undeclared identifier '_Symbol'` | Use `_Symbol` directly (built-in) |
| `invalid stops` | Ensure SL/TP at correct distance from price |
| `cross-symbol contamination` | Use `SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_*)` |
## File Locations
| Item | Path |

## MT5 Docker Commands
```bash
# Check status
cd ~/mt5-docker && ./STATUS.sh
# Start MT5
cd ~/mt5-docker && ./start.sh
# View latest log
tail -100 ~/mt5-docker/config/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/MetaTrader\ 5/MQL5/Logs/*.log
```
## Performance Metrics
- **Account 104125640:** ~15-19% return (March 2026)
- **Win Rate:** 46-87%
- **Largest Win:** $8,091
- **Largest Loss:** -$805
## Conversation History
Before working on this codebase, read:

```
## Notes for AI Agents
1. **MQL5 is NOT Python** - it's C++ like, with different syntax
2. **Always use `_Symbol`** - never use global SymbolInfo objects
3. **Test compilation** - always verify code compiles before deploying
4. **Copy to MT5** - git commits don't automatically sync to MT5
5. **Weekend protection** - always enable for Grid EA
6. **Push to Gitea** - use HTTPS with credentials or SSH

Collection of MetaTrader 4/5 Expert Advisors and Indicators for automated forex trading.
## 🎯 Main Strategy: MultiSignal Confluence
## 🎯 Main Strategies
The flagship system combines three proven strategies for high-probability trades:
1. **Pivot Point Trading** - Support/Resistance levels
2. **Harmonic Pattern Recognition** - AB=CD, Gartley patterns
3. **Candlestick Pattern Analysis** - Hammers, Engulfing, etc.
### Confluence Logic
```
When 2+ signals align = HIGH PROBABILITY TRADE
### 1. MultiSignal Confluence EA (PRIMARY)
Combines Pivot Points + Candlestick Patterns + Harmonic Patterns
```cpp
Signal Strength:
- 1 signal = 0.75 (NO TRADE)
- 2 signals = 0.90 (TRADE)
- 3 signals = 1.00 (STRONG TRADE)
```
