google-labs-jules[bot] fbde540efb Adds a new bar check to prevent redundant OnTick execution.
What: Added a lightweight check using `iTime()` at the beginning of the `OnTick()` function to ensure the main logic only runs when a new bar has formed.

Why: The original code executed the expensive `CopyRates()` function and subsequent calculations on every incoming price tick, causing unnecessary CPU load. For a bar-based strategy, these calculations are only required once per bar.

Impact: Reduces CPU consumption of the Expert Advisor significantly, especially on volatile symbols with many ticks per bar. This leads to better overall terminal performance and more precise execution timing.

Measurement: The improvement can be verified by observing the EA's execution frequency in the terminal's "Experts" log. Before the change, log entries would appear on every tick. After the change, they will only appear once per new bar on the signal timeframe.

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.
  5. Back in MT5: Navigator → Refresh.

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.

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.
