SMC + Trend Breakout (MTF) for Exness MT5

This repo contains:

• mt5/MQL5/Indicators/SMC_TrendBreakout_MTF.mq5: visual indicator (BOS/CHoCH + Donchian breakout + lower-timeframe confirmation).
• mt5/MQL5/Experts/SMC_TrendBreakout_MTF_EA.mq5: Expert Advisor (alerts + optional auto-trading).

Install into Exness MetaTrader 5

1. Open Exness MT5.
2. Go to File → Open Data Folder.
3. Copy:
   • SMC_TrendBreakout_MTF.mq5 to MQL5/Indicators/
   • SMC_TrendBreakout_MTF_EA.mq5 to MQL5/Experts/
4. In MT5, open MetaEditor (or press F4) and compile the files.

Use the indicator

• Attach SMC_TrendBreakout_MTF to a chart (your main timeframe).
• Set LowerTF to a smaller timeframe (ex: main = M15, lower = M5 or M1).
• Signals require lower-TF confirmation by default (EMA fast/slow direction).

Use the EA (push to terminal + optional auto trading)

• Attach SMC_TrendBreakout_MTF_EA to a chart.
• Enable Algo Trading in MT5 if you want auto entries.
• If you want phone push alerts:
  • MT5 → Tools → Options → Notifications
  • enable push notifications and set your MetaQuotes ID.

Notes / safety

• This is a rules-based implementation of common “SMC” ideas (fractal swing BOS/CHoCH) and a Donchian breakout.
• Test in Strategy Tester and/or demo before using real funds.

Secrets / workspace encryption (optional)
