google-labs-jules[bot] 62164e7065 Bolt: Use Ask/Bid variables for faster price retrieval in OnTick
💡 What:
Replaced `SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_ASK)` and `SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_BID)` with the direct, pre-defined variables `Ask` and `Bid` inside the performance-critical `OnTick` function.

🎯 Why:
The `OnTick` function executes on every incoming market tick. The `SymbolInfoDouble()` function, while reliable, introduces overhead with each call. In contrast, the MQL5 engine provides pre-cached `Ask` and `Bid` global variables that are significantly faster to access. This change eliminates unnecessary function call overhead on a very hot path.

📊 Impact:
This micro-optimization reduces the execution time of each `OnTick` cycle. While the per-call saving is small, it accumulates over thousands of ticks, leading to a more responsive Expert Advisor, especially in volatile market conditions. This ensures the EA can process market data and execute logic with minimal latency.

🔬 Measurement:
The performance improvement can be verified by profiling the Expert Advisor in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester. By comparing the execution time of the `OnTick` function before and after the change under the "Every tick" model, a profiler would show a decrease in the time spent retrieving bid/ask prices.

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).

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.
