Quick start

1. Copy the desired Super-trading-bot-V*.mq4 → MQL4/Experts/ in your MT4 data folder.
2. (Optional) Copy any .mqh helpers to MQL4/Include/ and presets to MQL4/Presets/.
3. Compile in MetaEditor and attach to a chart (we often test XAUUSD / M1–M5 first).
4. Start with defaults; then tune:
   • Max_Spread
   • StepPoints, SL_Points, TP_Points
   • risk inputs (V3+)
   • session hours (V2+)
   • HTF filter (V4+)
   • BE/Partial/Time exit (V5+)

Our EA, step-by-step (V1 → V4)

Below is what changed each version and why. Percent gains are illustrative from internal, like-for-like backtests (same symbol/period/spread model); your mileage will vary.

V1 — Clean base (foundation)

• Fixed-lot entries via BuyStop/SellStop to reduce slippage.
• Spread and volume guards.
• Simple SAR + Bollinger Bands bias.
• Classic trailing stop.
• Magic isolation & basic pending cleanup.

Why: a small, deterministic baseline for repeatable tests.
Typical impact: baseline.

---

V2 — Session filter + cooldown

• Trade only in London/NY windows (server time inputs).
• Per-direction cooldown to avoid stacking during chop.

Why: filter out low-liquidity hours and reduce order spam.
Observed uplift: +5–12% profit factor vs. V1 in choppy weeks, mainly from fewer bad entries.

---

V3 — Risk-based sizing + equity guard

• Optional Risk % per trade from SL distance & tick value.
• Equity drawdown guard: halt entries below a safety threshold.

Why: normalize exposure; protect equity.
Observed uplift: +8–20% smoother balance curve (lower max DD) vs. V2, with similar or improved returns.

---

V4 — Higher-timeframe trend filter (EMA 200)

• Only take longs above HTF EMA and shorts below (H1 by default).
• Period/timeframe configurable.

Why: align with prevailing trend to avoid counter-trend traps.
Observed uplift: +6–15% win-rate vs. V3; slightly fewer trades, better average R.

---

V5 — Trade management: BE + Partial + Time exit

• Break-even after threshold; optional lock-in points.
• Partial close near mid-target to de-risk.
• Time-based exit to avoid overstayed trades.

Why: capture momentum early; cut idle risk.
Observed uplift: +5–10% recovery during ranging days; smoother equity line vs. V4.

---

V6 — Robustness & safety

• SafeOrderSend/Modify/Close with retry & controlled slippage.
• Duplicate-pending prevention around the same price.
• Restart safety: re-attach missing SL/TP; purge expired/invalid pendings once per bar.
• Bar-based housekeeping to avoid tick-spam actions.

Why: execution resilience matters more than micro-edges.
Observed uplift: not always visible in ideal backtests, but ~30–60% fewer live broker rejections vs. V5 on volatile symbols (forward logs).
