From c53dff6d9f213a57c30d26476c3567fa9028fa66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garfield Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 23:40:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Fix weekend gap risk and short signal detection Grid EA (v3.1): - Add weekend protection: close positions Friday before market close - New settings: InpCloseBeforeWeekend, InpWeekendCloseHour, InpCancelPendingBeforeWeekend - Prevents gap risk when market reopens Sunday/Monday - FIX: Restore missing #include statements Confluence EA (v1.14): - Fix short signal detection by removing restrictive 'belowPivot' check - Mirror BUY and SELL logic for symmetry - Relax harmonic pattern tolerances (0.3-1.0 vs 0.5-0.8) - Short signals now match buy signal generation Add verify-short-signals.py to test short signal generation --- MultiSignal_Confluence_EA.mq5 | 97 ++++++++++++++++--------------- OrdersEA_Smart_Grid.mq5 | 80 ++++++++++++++++++++++---- verify-short-signals.py | 105 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 221 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) create mode 100644 verify-short-signals.py diff --git a/MultiSignal_Confluence_EA.mq5 b/MultiSignal_Confluence_EA.mq5 index 28ccee0..f2e1f89 100644 --- a/MultiSignal_Confluence_EA.mq5 +++ b/MultiSignal_Confluence_EA.mq5 @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Copyright 2025, Abbey Road Tech" #property link "https://www.abbeyroadtech.com" -#property version "1.13" +#property version "1.14" #property strict #include @@ -309,29 +309,28 @@ void CheckSignals(int &buyCount, int &sellCount, string &sources) double distToR2 = MathAbs(close - r2);
