google-labs-jules[bot] 4d34289b02 feat(perf): Cache MTF confirmation to reduce redundant calculations
Implements a caching mechanism for the multi-timeframe (MTF) trend confirmation in `GetMTFDir`.

The trend direction from the lower timeframe is now calculated only when a new bar forms on that timeframe, instead of on every tick of the main chart. The result is cached and returned on subsequent calls until the next lower timeframe bar appears.

This avoids expensive and redundant `CopyBuffer` calls, significantly improving the EA's performance and efficiency, especially when the signal timeframe is much shorter than the confirmation timeframe. Logic was carefully updated to read from the last *completed* bar to prevent any change in trading behavior.

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

📖 For detailed deployment instructions, see Exness Deployment Guide

Quick start:

  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.
  5. Back in MT5: Navigator → Refresh.

🚀 Automated Startup (NEW!)

Quick Start:

  • Windows: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\startup.ps1
  • Linux/WSL: ./scripts/startup.sh

Auto-Start on Boot:

  • Windows: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\startup.ps1 -CreateScheduledTask
  • Linux: ./scripts/startup.sh --setup-systemd

📚 Documentation:

The automation system handles:

  • MT5 Terminal startup
  • Python scripts execution
  • Scheduled tasks configuration
  • Process monitoring and logging
  • Windows Task Scheduler integration
  • Linux systemd/cron integration

Optional: package / deploy helpers

  • Create a zip you can copy to your PC:
    • bash scripts/package_mt5.sh → outputs dist/Exness_MT5_MQL5.zip
  • Copy directly into your MT5 Data Folder (run this on the machine that has MT5 installed):
    • bash scripts/deploy_mt5.sh "/path/from/MT5/File->Open Data Folder"

GitHub automation (reviews, CI, auto-merge, OneDrive sync)

This repo includes GitHub Actions workflows under .github/workflows/:

  • CI (CI): runs on pull requests and pushes to main/master
    • Validates repo structure
    • Builds dist/Exness_MT5_MQL5.zip and uploads it as an artifact
  • Auto-merge enablement (Enable auto-merge (label-driven)): if a PR has the label automerge, it will enable GitHub’s auto-merge (squash). Your branch protection rules still control when it can merge (required reviews, required CI, etc.).
  • OneDrive sync (Sync to OneDrive (rclone)): on pushes to main (and manual runs), syncs mt5/MQL5 to OneDrive via rclone.

Recommended repo settings (GitHub → Settings):

  • Branch protection (main):
    • Require pull request reviews (at least 1)
    • Require status checks: CI / validate-and-package
    • (Optional) Require CODEOWNERS review
  • Auto-merge: enable “Allow auto-merge” in repo settings

OneDrive sync setup (required secrets):

  • RCLONE_CONFIG_B64: base64 of your rclone.conf containing a OneDrive remote.

Example (run locally, then paste into GitHub Secrets):

rclone config
base64 -w0 ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

Optional secrets:

  • ONEDRIVE_REMOTE: remote name in rclone.conf (default: onedrive)
  • ONEDRIVE_PATH: destination folder path (default: Apps/MT5/MQL5)

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.
  • For web request integrations (ZOLO-A6-9V-NUNA- plugin):
    • Enable EnableWebRequest parameter
    • Add https://soloist.ai/a6-9v to MT5's allowed URLs list:
      • MT5 → Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
      • Check "Allow WebRequest for listed URL"
      • Add the URL: https://soloist.ai/a6-9v

Auto SL/TP + risk management (EA)

In SMC_TrendBreakout_MTF_EA:

  • SLMode
    • SL_ATR: SL = ATR × ATR_SL_Mult
    • SL_SWING: SL beyond last confirmed fractal swing (with SwingSLBufferPoints), fallback to ATR if swing is missing/invalid
    • SL_FIXED_POINTS: SL = FixedSLPoints
  • TPMode
    • TP_RR: TP = RR × SL distance
    • TP_FIXED_POINTS: TP = FixedTPPoints
    • TP_DONCHIAN_WIDTH: TP = Donchian channel width × DonchianTP_Mult (fallback to ATR width if needed)
  • RiskPercent
    • If RiskPercent > 0, lots are calculated from SL distance so the money at risk ≈ RiskPercent of Equity (or Balance if you disable RiskUseEquity).
    • RiskClampToFreeMargin can reduce lots if required margin is too high.

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.
