Overview
Trading logic and signal detection are processed within a native C++ DLL, while the MQL5 bridge handles trade execution and data feeding. The system identifies market structure shifts, including Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), alongside liquidity sweeps and Order Block mitigation. Risk management features include configurable stop loss buffers, minimum risk-reward ratios, and global point-based limits for exits.
- High-performance C++ DLL integration for signal generation
- Automated detection of Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps
- Market structure analysis including BOS and CHoCH
- Kill Zone and Optimal Trade Entry filters
