H1 confirmed swing
The EA checks whether the previous H1 bar has formed and confirmed a swing high or swing low. Swing detection uses a lookback window (default 5 bars).
From signal to order — fully transparent.
Here's the exact decision flow every time the EA considers a trade. No black box, no magic.
Step 1
A signal is detected
Two engines run independently. Either one can produce a signal; both can pass the filter stack below.
M15 classic pattern
On every closed M15 bar, the EA evaluates Hammer, Shooting Star, Morning Star, and Evening Star with configurable wick/body/star ratios.
Alerts
You get pinged — on every channel
The moment a signal passes the filter stack and an order is queued, the EA fires the same structured alert to every channel you've enabled. You stay informed without watching the chart.

What a swing entry looks like
The H1 swing engine waits for a completed swing low (or high), confirmed by a lookback window. On confirmation, the order opens with SL past the swing point and TP set to give a positive R:R.
H1 swing engine
The engine watches every closed H1 bar against a 5-bar lookback window. A swing low is the lowest low in ±5 bars; a swing high is the highest high — pure arithmetic, zero interpretation.
- Lookback window: 5 bars left + 5 bars right
- Confirmation bar must close on the signal side
- Stop-loss placed past the swing with a buffer
- Take-profit targets ≥ 1 : 2 risk-to-reward

Why rules, not vibes
Every pattern and swing is math, not interpretation. The same bar input produces the same decision every time — no discretion, no mood.
- Wick-to-body ratios are numeric thresholds you can tune.
- Swing lookback is an integer input (default 5).
- SL and TP buffers are fixed-pip inputs.
- Every decision is logged to the MT5 journal.
Step 2
The filter stack runs
A detected signal isn't a trade — yet. It has to pass every enabled filter in this order:
1
Session filter
Is the current time inside one of your enabled sessions (Sydney / Tokyo / London / NY)? If not, signal is blocked.
2
Monday gap
Is the current time inside the Monday-gap avoidance window? If yes, signal is blocked.
3
News filter
Any high-impact news release within your configured before/after window? If yes, signal is blocked.
4
Anti-junk dedup
Was a similar signal fired within the cooldown window? If yes, this one is blocked to avoid stacking.
5
AI bias (optional)
If enabled, a bias score is requested from Llama 3.3. Below threshold = signal blocked. API failure = fail-open (proceed under non-AI rules).
6
Risk engine
Max daily orders reached? Drawdown hard-stop hit? If either, no new trade opens.
Step 3
The order fires & is managed
If the signal survives every filter, the order opens with risk-% sizing, SL/TP set with buffers, and trailing logic armed.
- Lot size = (equity × risk%) ÷ SL pips
- Hard lot cap enforced before order sent
- SL and TP set at broker on entry
- Trailing SL activates after X pips of favorable move
- Break-even jump pulls SL to entry + buffer once profitable
- Telegram alert sent on fill / SL hit / TP hit
