A Simple MT5 Expert Advisor Based on EMA20 Breakout Strategy

Description: I am looking for a skilled MQL5 developer to create an MT5 Expert Advisor (EA) based on a specific breakout trading strategy.

Below are the details of the EA's functionality and parameters:

Strategy Details:

1. Entry Conditions:

   • Buy: Enter a BUY trade when the price closes above the EMA20 on a 5-minute timeframe.

   • Sell: Enter a SELL trade when the price closes below the EMA20 on a 5-minute timeframe.

2. Exit Conditions:

   • Fixed Stop Loss (SL): 8 pips.

   • Fixed Take Profit (TP): 2 pips.

3. Trading Time Restrictions:

   • Trades should only be executed during the following sessions (broker time, GMT+2):

     • 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (London session).

     • 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (New York session).

   • No trades should be opened outside of these time windows.

4. News Filter:

   • Disable trading 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after major news events.

Parameters to Include:

1. Lot Size: Adjustable lot size (default: 3.75 lots).

2. Risk Per Trade (%): Adjustable risk percentage per trade (default: 3%).

3. Stop Loss (pips): Adjustable stop loss (default: 8 pips).

4. Take Profit (pips): Adjustable take profit (default: 2 pips).

5. EMA Period: Adjustable EMA period (default: 20).

6. Spread Filter: Adjustable maximum allowable spread for trade execution (default: 2.3 pips).

7. Testing Mode: Yes/No parameter to simulate a spread of 2.3 pips in the MT5 Strategy Tester. This parameter should:

   • Yes: Add 2.3 pips to the spread during testing.

   • No: Use the default spread in the Strategy Tester.

Additional Notes:

• The EA must only take one trade at a time.

• Trading is disabled for 10 minutes before and after major news events.

• The "Testing Mode" parameter is exclusively for backtesting purposes and will not impact live trading.

• The EA should be coded with efficient and clean code to ensure smooth operation and performance.

• Include basic error handling to prevent issues during execution.

Deliverables:

1. Fully functional MT5 Expert Advisor file (.ex5).

2. Source code (.mq5) for future modifications.

3. Brief documentation explaining the parameters and setup process.

Requirements:

• Proven experience in MQL5 development.

• Familiarity with EMA-based strategies and breakout trading.

• Ability to include a testing-specific parameter as described above.

Please include examples of previous EAs you’ve developed and your estimated timeline for completion. Feel free to ask if any clarification is needed.
