Copy gói cài đặt vào MT5

Open MT5 Data folder:
- In MT5, go to menu File → Open Data Folder
- Or press the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + D
Đóng MT5 lại.
Copy cả ba thư mục Experts, Libraries and Indicators từ gói vừa giải nén vào thư mục MQL5, chọn ghi đè khi được hỏi.

📦 Gói tải về đã đóng sẵn đúng cấu trúc:

MQL5\
├─ Experts\      SMART DCA.ex5
├─ Libraries\    DCA_Http.dll
└─ Indicators\   DCA_BBChannel.ex5
                 DCA_DonchianChannel.ex5
                 DCA_KeltnerChannel.ex5

Copy đủ ba thư mục là xong ngay — không phải chờ EA tự ghi file DLL rồi gắn lại lần hai.

Ba indicator kênh giá dùng để làm gì?

Chúng dùng để VẼ kênh giá lên biểu đồ cho bạn nhìn. Bộ lọc kênh giá vẫn chạy đúng kể cả khi thiếu chúng — phần tính toán dùng chỉ báo có sẵn của MT5. Thiếu thì chỉ là không thấy kênh vẽ trên chart.

💡 Tip:

After copying the files, go back to MT5 → Right-click on Expert Advisors in Navigator → Select Refresh or press F5

Grant EA permissions: DLL imports & Algo Trading

💡 Change from new version:

EA connects to server via DLL, so no need to add URLs to the list "Allow WebRequest for listed URL" like previous versions.

1. Enable DLL permission in MT5:

Go to menu Tools → Options → Tab Expert Advisors
✅ Check "Allow DLL imports"
Press OK to save

2. Enable Algo Trading:

Click the button "Algo Trading" on toolbar (play button icon), or press Ctrl + E
✅ Blue button = Enabled  |  ❌ Gray button = Disabled

⚠️ Note: This step is REQUIRED if you use Signal Config, and the machine running EA needs Internet connection to verify license and load config from server.

Attach EA to chart

Add EA to chart:

Open chart for the currency pair you want to trade (example: XAUUSD)
Open Navigator (press Ctrl + N)
Find "Expert Advisors" → "SMART DCA"
Drag and drop EA onto chart

💡 Check if EA is running:

EA is running when the icon on chart shows a smiley face 😊.

Configure in the popup window:

Tab Common:
- ✅ Tick "Allow Algo Trading"
- ✅ Tick "Allow DLL imports"
Tab Inputs: Set EA parameters (see step 4)

📡 Signal Config Setup

Good for beginners - Receive ready config from server

💰 MaxLoss ở chế độ Signal là NGÂN SÁCH, không phải mức dừng lỗ

Mỗi signal có một ngân sách gốc — xem cột Initial Capital ở trang danh sách signal. Signal vàng hiện là 10.000.

EA lấy số bạn khai ÷ ngân sách gốc làm hệ số nhân, rồi nhân hệ số đó vào lot khởi đầu, mức lỗ tối đa và mức lỗ Smart DCA:

Khai 10.000 cho signal vàng → chạy quy mô 1×
Khai 20.000 → chạy 2×, lot gấp đôi
Để 0 → chạy đúng quy mô gốc của signal

Khai THẤP HƠN ngân sách gốc thì EA không khởi động được — nó hiện thông báo "cần điền MaxLoss tối thiểu $Y" rồi dừng. Đây là lỗi hay gặp nhất khi mới cài.

Parameter Details

All EA configuration parameters

Parameter	Description	Example
Trading Mode	Auto = EA opens orders automatically; Manual = manual entry	`Auto`
Trade direction	All / Buy Only / Sell Only	`All`
Max lot per single order	Limit max lot per order	`1.0` (tk $100)
Maximum number of orders	Total max orders	`50`
Number of pending orders preset	Pending preset (1-20)	`4`
Maximum layers per sequence	Limit DCA layers	`20`

💡 Example by capital:

$100: Max lot = 0.5, Layers = 15-20
$500: Max lot = 2.0, Layers = 25-30
$1000+: Max lot = 5.0, Layers = 30-40

Parameter	Description	Example
EA profit target (USD)	EA stops when total profit reaches this level (0 = disabled)	`100` = stop EA when profit is $100
Maximum loss for EA (USD)	Close all orders and stop EA	`50` = stop EA when loss is $50
Max loss per series (USD)	Close 1 DCA series when loss reaches level	`30` = close BUY series if loss is $30
Combined Profit (USD)	Take profit both BUY+SELL when total profit reaches level. `0` = close both chains when total = 0	`5` = close both series when total profit is $5
Action when series loses	Close series and open new / Stop EA	Option
Break-even from layer	Automatically set TP=0 from specified level (0 = off)	`35` = from level 35 TP=0

💡 Scenario example (capital $500, XAUUSD):

Protect capital: Max Loss EA = 250 (stop when loss is 50% of capital)
EA take profit: Profit Target = 50 (stop EA when profit is 10%)
Eliminate both series: Combined Profit = 0 → when BUY loses -$20 and SELL gains +$20 → total = $0 → close both
Break-even: Break-even from level = 30 → series goes too deep, set TP=0 to exit quickly

Mặc định EA chốt lãi ở mức TP cố định. Bật Trailing TP thì sau khi lãi đủ lớn, EA dời SL chạy theo giá để giữ phần lãi đã có, thay vì ngồi chờ đúng mức TP.

Parameter	Description	Example
Bật Trailing TP	Bật thì sau khi lãi đủ, EA dời SL theo giá để giữ phần lãi đã có thay vì chờ TP cố định.	`false`
TP Kích hoạt (Giá)	Lãi chạm mức này thì bắt đầu dời SL. Đặt thấp quá thì trail kích hoạt sớm và hay bị quét ở nhiễu giá.	`5.0`
Trailing Step (Giá)	Mỗi lần dời SL thì dời bao nhiêu. Bước nhỏ thì bám sát giá nhưng dễ bị quét; bước lớn thì thả lỏng hơn.	`3.0`
TP Max Mode	Cách tính trần của trailing: `Cố định (Giá)` or `% Biên độ chuỗi`.	`Cố định (Giá)`
TP Max Value	Trần của trailing — tới đây thì chốt hẳn, không trail nữa. Đơn vị là giá hay phần trăm tuỳ TP Max Mode ở trên.	`20.0`

💡 Ba ô này đi với nhau

Kích hoạt quyết định lúc nào bắt đầu trail.
Step quyết định dời từng bước bao nhiêu.
Max Value quyết định trail tới đâu thì dừng và chốt.

Parameter	Description	Example
Enable Hedge	Turn on/off Hedge feature	`true`
Hedge Mode	HEDGE = open reverse order to protect; CLOSE = close old order to reduce loss	`HEDGE`
Hedge Calc Mode	GAP = hedge regularly every N layers; START_STOP = hedge within fixed layer range	`GAP`
[START_STOP] Start Layer	Start hedge at layer	`10`
[START_STOP] Stop Layer	Stop hedge at layer	`30`
[GAP] Hedge Gap	Hedge every N layers	`10`
Auto Close Hedge	Auto close hedge orders when main sequence closes	`true`

💡 Detailed Explanation of Hedge Mechanism (Layer Determination):

Principle: When hedge condition is met, EA takes Current Layer - Gap Distance to find Target Layer to process.
GAP Mode (Example Gap=15): Continuous hedge from layer 15. When BUY sequence reaches L15 → take L15 - 15 = Target L0 → process L0. When hits L16 → process L1... When hits L20 → process L5. Always close and process old layers that are 1 Gap distance from current price.
START_STOP Mode (Example Start=10, Stop=30): Calculation similar to GAP Mode (with Gap = Start). However, only activates when Current Layer is between 10 and 30. Hits L10 → process L0... Hits L30 → process L20. At L31 onwards, stops processing old layers.
HEDGE Mode vs CLOSE Mode: For Target Layer determined above (e.g., L0). HEDGE Mode will open 1 reverse order (SELL) with Volume equal to the corresponding L order to lock the loss. CLOSE Mode will directly cut the loss and close the corresponding L order instead of opening a reverse order like hedge mode.
Note that some brokers charge margin fees both ways, which can lead to insufficient funds to enter orders, so with hedge you need to ask the broker carefully before running to safely earn commissions

Parameter	Description	Example
Time Range	Trading timeframe (supports overnight)	`08:00-22:00` or `22:00-06:00` (overnight)
Step Mode	How to calculate distance between layers	`Fixed` / `Multiplier` / `Addition` / `Custom`
Price Step	Distance between DCA layers	`1` = fixed 1 price per layer
Step Coefficient	Step increment coefficient (only used in Geometric/Arithmetic mode)	`1.3` = each layer step increases 30%
TP Mode	How to calculate Take Profit	`Fixed` / `% Range` / `Custom`
Take Profit	TP value (or Custom series)	`1` = fixed TP at 1 price
TP %	TP by % range (when Mode = Percent)	`20` = TP equals 20% of series distance
Lot Mode	How to increase lot per layer	`Multiply` / `Add` / `Custom`
Lot coefficient	Lot increase coefficient (Multiply: 1.15=+15%, Add: 0.01)	`1.15` = each layer lot increases 15%
Starting Lot / Custom	Lot of first layer or Custom series	`0.01`

📌 Detailed Example: Step Settings

Step Mode	Settings	Step result per layer (XAUUSD)
Fixed	Step = `1`	L0→L1: 1, L1→L2: 1, L2→L3: 1 ... (always 1 price)
Multiply	Step = `1`, Multiplier = `1.3`	L0→L1: 1, L1→L2: 1.3, L2→L3: 1.69, L3→L4: 2.2 ...
Add	Step = `1`, Multiplier = `0.5`	L0→L1: 1, L1→L2: 1.5, L2→L3: 2.0, L3→L4: 2.5 ...
Custom	Step Mode = `Custom`, Step = `1-3:x1.5-8:+0.5`	L0-L2: fixed 1 → L3-L7: multiply ×1.5 per layer → L8+: add +0.5 per layer (applies only when Custom mode is selected)

📌 Detailed Example: Lot Configuration

Lot Mode	Settings	Resulting lot per layer
Multiply	Start = `0.01`, Multiplier = `1.5`	L0: 0.01, L1: 0.01, L2: 0.015, L3: 0.023, L4: 0.034 ...
Add	Start = `0.01`, Multiplier = `0.01`	L0: 0.01, L1: 0.01, L2: 0.02, L3: 0.03, L4: 0.04 ...
Custom	Lot Mode = `Custom`, Lot = `0.01x1.2-5:+0.02`	L0-L4: 0.01 multiply ×1.2 per layer → L5+: add +0.02 per layer (applies only when Custom mode is selected)

💡 Lot Notes: Multiply and Add modes keep L0 = L1 (equal), multiply/add starts from L2. Custom mode follows the exact declared sequence.

📌 Detailed Example: Take Profit Configuration

TP Mode	Settings	Meaning
Fixed	TP = `1`	TP fixed one price for all layers
% Range	TP% = `20`	TP = 20% distance from first entry to farthest layer
Custom	TP = `0:100-5:50-15:0-20:(2)`	Layer 0-4: TP=100, Layer 5-14: TP=50, Layer 15-19: TP=0 (break-even), Layer 20+: TP=-2 (accept loss)

⚠️ Negative TP: Use parentheses () to represent negative numbers. Example: (2) = -2, (5.5) = -5.5. The dash - is already used as layer separator.

💡 Example multiple timeframes (XAUUSD):

Timeframe 1 (Asia): 02:00-08:00 — Step=1, TP=1, Lot=0.01 (calm market, small step)
Timeframe 2 (Europe): 14:00-20:00 — Step=2, TP=2, Lot=0.01 (larger volatility, wider step)
Timeframe 3 (USA): 20:00-02:00 — Step Mode=Multiply, Step=2, Multiplier=1.3, TP=2 (strong volatility, increasing step)

🔗 Config Source

From Timeframe 2 onwards, you can select copy entire config (Step, TP, Lot, Multiplier) from another timeframe instead of setting separately.

Value	Meaning
`Custom settings`	Use Step/TP/Lot config specific to that timeframe
`Use Config Range 1`	Copy entire from Timeframe 1
`Use Config Range 2`	Copy entire from Timeframe 2 (available only for Range 3+)
`Use Config Range 3`	Copy entire from Timeframe 3 (available only for Range 4+)
`Use Config Range 4`	Copy entire from Timeframe 4 (available only for Range 5)

💡 Chaining: Supports automatic fallback — if Range 3 → Range 2 → Range 1 then Range 3 uses config Range 1. When you change config Range 1, all ranges pointing to Range 1 auto-update.

📅 Date Restrictions & After-Hours Actions

Parameter	Description	Example
Enable date restriction	No trading in specific time range	`true`
Start restriction	Date to start no trading	`2026.01.01 00:00`
End restriction	Date to end no trading	`2026.01.02 23:59`
After-hours action	Close All = close all orders when hours end; Keep Running = keep current sequence but don't open new	`Keep Running`

💡 When to use?

Date restriction: Avoid trading on holidays, special events (NFP, FOMC...)
Close All: Suitable for scalping — don't want to hold orders overnight
Keep Running: Suitable for long-term DCA — open sequence runs until profit target

Smart DCA là tính năng nặng nhất của tool. Bật lên thì EA tự tính khoảng cách tầng và hệ số nhân lot từ kênh giá, thay cho các con số bạn khai ở từng khung giờ. Các ô dưới đây dùng chung cho tất cả năm khung giờ.

⚠ Bật Smart DCA thì bắt buộc phải có ngân sách

Một trong hai ô Lỗ tối đa chuỗi or MaxLoss riêng cho Smart DCA phải khác 0. Để cả hai bằng 0 thì EA báo lỗi và không khởi động.

Bật và chọn kênh giá

Parameter	Description	Mặc Định
1. Smart DCA (Bật/Tắt)	Bật thì EA tự tính Step và hệ số nhân lot từ kênh giá, thay vì dùng con số bạn khai ở từng khung giờ.	`Disable`
2. Reference price channel	Kênh làm mốc để Smart DCA tính toán: `High Low Breakout`, `Bollinger Bands`, `Keltner`, or `Donchian`. Ba kênh sau cần file indicator tương ứng nếu muốn nhìn thấy kênh vẽ trên chart — phần tính toán vẫn chạy kể cả khi không có file.	`High Low Breakout`

Chặn và kẹp giá trị

Parameter	Description	Mặc Định
3. Minimum range	Biên độ kênh hẹp hơn mức này thì chặn không vào lệnh — thị trường đang quá im, DCA không có chỗ để giãn. `0` = tắt.	`0.0`
3b. Range tối đa	Biên độ kênh rộng hơn mức này thì chặn không vào lệnh — biến động quá lớn. `0` = tắt.	`0.0`
4. Minimum step	Sàn cho khoảng cách tầng mà Smart DCA tự tính. Tính ra nhỏ hơn thì tự nâng lên mức này, không chặn lệnh.	`0.0`
4b. PriceRange tối thiểu	Sàn cho biên độ giá dùng trong tính toán. Nhỏ hơn thì kẹp lên mức này.	`0.0`
5b. Range Position %	Chặn theo vị trí giá trong kênh. Đặt `30` nghĩa là không mở SELL khi giá đang ở vùng 30% gần đáy, và không mở BUY khi ở 30% gần đỉnh — tránh vào lệnh ngược ngay chỗ giá đã đi hết biên. `0` = tắt.	`0`

Ngân sách và số tầng

Parameter	Description	Mặc Định
5. Số tầng tối đa cho Smart DCA	Trần tầng riêng của Smart DCA. Khác Maximum layers per sequence ở chỗ nó chỉ áp khi Smart DCA đang bật.	`40`
6. MaxLoss riêng cho Smart DCA	Ngân sách riêng, tách khỏi Lỗ tối đa chuỗi chung. `0` = dùng chung. Ở chế độ Signal, đây thường mới là con số được lấy làm ngân sách gốc.	`0.0`
7. Khóa tối đa tầng theo Smart DCA	Bật thì trần tầng lấy theo Smart DCA tính ra; tắt thì lấy theo Số tầng tối đa chung.	`true`

Chống nén biên độ

Parameter	Description	Mặc Định
8. Nén range: ngưỡng theo dõi	Kênh giá co lại dưới ngưỡng này thì EA bắt đầu đếm giờ. Đơn vị là giá. `0` = tắt.	`0.0`
9. Nén range: thời gian tối đa	Nén liên tục quá bấy nhiêu phút thì EA can thiệp — thị trường bị ép biên quá lâu thường là dấu hiệu sắp phá biên mạnh.	`60` phút

Buffer — phần chừa ngoài kênh

Buffer là phần chừa thêm ra ngoài kênh trước khi EA coi là đã phá biên.

Parameter	Description	Mặc Định
10. Buffer% động	Bật thì buffer tự co giãn theo độ rộng biên: biên rộng dùng buffer cơ sở, biên hẹp nâng dần lên tới mức tối đa. Tắt thì dùng một con số cố định.	`false`
10a. Buffer% cơ sở	Buffer khi biên rộng.	`15.0`
10b. Buffer% tối đa	Buffer khi biên hẹp — biên càng hẹp càng cần chừa nhiều, vì nhiễu giá dễ chạm mép.	`50.0`
10c. Biên tham chiếu	Mốc biên để nội suy giữa hai mức buffer trên. `0` = EA tự lấy `Range tối thiểu × 2.4`.	`0.0`
11. Buffer% riêng SmartDCA	Buffer riêng cho Smart DCA, tách khỏi buffer của bộ lọc. `0` = dùng chung với filter.	`0`

Hai panel hiển thị

Parameter	Description	Mặc Định
5. Hiện Panel Smart DCA	Hiện panel Smart DCA trên chart. Signal có thể ghi đè giá trị này.	`true`
5b. Hiện Debug Panel	Hiện panel P/L chi tiết của phần cắt lỗ và hedge. Hữu ích khi đang dò cấu hình, nên tắt khi chạy thật cho đỡ rối chart.	`true`

💡 Bật Smart DCA lần đầu nên làm gì

Khai ngân sách trước — Lỗ tối đa chuỗi hoặc MaxLoss riêng, một trong hai phải khác 0.
Để nguyên các ô chặn (Range tối thiểu / tối đa, Range Position) ở 0 cho lần chạy đầu, xem EA tính ra Step và số tầng thế nào đã.
Bật Panel Smart DCA để nhìn trực tiếp con số EA tự tính, rồi mới siết dần các ô chặn.

📌 Quick Index

🔄 Oscillation 📈 Trend 📏 Price Channel 🔥 Volatility 📊 Volume 🧩 Strategy 🔀 Combine ⚙️ Action Mode

🔄 OSCILLATION (OB/OS) — 10 filters Block when overbought / oversold

1. RSI — Relative Strength Index

RSI measures speed and magnitude of price change, ranges 0-100. When RSI > the Overbought threshold (default 70) → price is overbought → block BUY. When RSI < the Oversold threshold (30) → price is oversold → block SELL. This is the most common OB/OS filter, ideal for stopping the EA from opening trades in the same direction once price has run too far.

🔍 What is RSI?
RSI (Relative Strength Index) measures speed and magnitude of price change, ranges 0-100. Formula: RSI = 100 − 100/(1 + RS), where RS = Avg Gain / Avg Loss in N candles.

Application: When RSI > the OB threshold → price is overbought → Block BUY. When RSI < the OS threshold → price is oversold → Block SELL. This is the most popular OB/OS filter.

Parameter	Default	Description
Enable/Disable	`false`	Enable RSI filter
Overbought	`70`	Block BUY when RSI ≥ 70
Oversold	`30`	Block SELL when RSI ≤ 30
Period	`14`	RSI Period (standard: 14)
Timeframe	`Current`	RSI Timeframe

💡 Example:

RSI = 75 ≥ 70: Overbought → Block BUY ❌
RSI = 22 ≤ 30: Oversold → Block SELL ❌
RSI = 55: Neutral zone → OK ✅

2. Stochastic — Stochastic Oscillator

Stochastic compares current closing price against High-Low range in period, made up of the %K and %D lines, ranges 0-100. When %K > 80 → overbought → block BUY. When %K < 20 → oversold → block SELL. Compared with RSI, Stochastic reacts faster to short-term moves and suits small timeframes (M1-M15).

🔍 What is Stochastic?
Stochastic compares current closing price against High-Low range in period. Consists of 2 lines: %K (fast) and %D (SMA of %K). Ranges 0-100.

Application: %K > OB → overbought → Block BUY. %K < OS → oversold → Block SELL. More sensitive than RSI, suits small timeframes.

Parameter	Default	Description
Enable/Disable	`false`	Enable Stochastic filter
Overbought	`80`	Block BUY when %K ≥ 80
Oversold	`20`	Block SELL when %K ≤ 20
%K Period	`14`	%K Period
%D Period	`3`	%D signal line period
Slowing	`3`	Smoothing factor
Timeframe	`Current`	Stochastic timeframe

💡 Example:

%K = 85 ≥ 80: Overbought → Block BUY ❌
%K = 15 ≤ 20: Oversold → Block SELL ❌
%K = 50: Middle zone → OK ✅

3. CCI — Commodity Channel Index

CCI measures price deviation from statistical average, with no fixed scale. When CCI > +100 → price is in overbought zone. When CCI < -100 → oversold zone. CCI swings wider than RSI/Stoch, so it gives fewer false signals but reacts more slowly.

🔍 What is CCI?
CCI measures price deviation from statistical average. No fixed scale (it can go > +200 or < -200). CCI = (Typical Price − SMA) / (0.015 × Mean Deviation).

Application: CCI > OB (+100) → overbought → Block BUY. CCI < OS (-100) → oversold → Block SELL. A wider range than RSI means fewer false signals.

Parameter	Default	Description
Enable/Disable	`false`	Enable CCI filter
Overbought	`100`	Block BUY when CCI ≥ +100
Oversold	`-100`	Block SELL when CCI ≤ -100
Period	`14`	CCI period
Timeframe	`Current`	CCI timeframe

💡 Example:

CCI = +150 ≥ +100: Overbought → Block BUY ❌
CCI = -120 ≤ -100: Oversold → Block SELL ❌
CCI = +30: Neutral zone → OK ✅

4. Williams %R

Williams %R is similar to RSI but uses reverse scale (0 to -100). Value near 0 (default -20) = overbought. Near -100 (default -80) = oversold. %R reacts very quickly to price changes, suitable for early OB/OS detection.

🔍 What is Williams %R?
Williams %R is similar to Stochastic but uses reverse scale (0 to -100). Formula: %R = (Highest High − Close) / (Highest High − Lowest Low) × (-100).

Application: %R near 0 (> -20) → overbought → Block BUY. %R near -100 (< -80) → oversold → Block SELL. Reacts very fast.

Parameter	Default	Description
Enable/Disable	`false`	Enable Williams %R filter
Overbought	`-20`	Block BUY when %R ≥ -20 (near 0)
Oversold	`-80`	Block SELL when %R ≤ -80 (near -100)
Period	`14`	Williams %R period
Timeframe	`Current`	%R timeframe

💡 Example:

%R = -10 ≥ -20: Overbought → Block BUY ❌
%R = -90 ≤ -80: Oversold → Block SELL ❌
%R = -50: Middle zone → OK ✅

5. MFI — Money Flow Index

MFI is "RSI weighted by volume" — it combines price movement with trading volume, ranges 0-100. When MFI > 80 → money flow is overbought. When MFI < 20 → money flow is oversold. MFI is more reliable than plain RSI because volume confirms it.

🔍 What is MFI?
MFI is "RSI weighted by volume" — combines price movement with trading volume. Ranges 0-100. Formula based on Money Flow = Typical Price × Volume.

Application: MFI > OB → money flow overbought → Block BUY. MFI < OS → money flow oversold → Block SELL. More reliable than RSI thanks to volume confirmation.

Price = 2850, Supertrend = 2900: Gap = 50 ≥ 50 → Trending ↓ ❌

📏 PRICE CHANNEL — 5 filters Define reasonable range

📍 20. HIGH LOW — Block Breakout/Sideway

🔍 What is HIGH LOW?
HIGH LOW is method to identify high (High) and low (Low) locally on price chart by comparing each candle with surrounding candles. If a candle has price High higher than all N candles on left and N candles on right → that is High. Similar for Low.

Application in DCA: When price stays in zone High ↔ Low → market Sideway (suitable for DCA). When price breaks out zone → market Trending/Breakout (dangerous for DCA).

Parameter	Default	Description
Enable/Disable	`false`	Enable HIGH LOW filter
Left Bars (Candles on the left)	`5`	Number of candles on the left used to confirm High/Low. The larger → the more certain, but slower reaction
Right Bars (Candles on the right)	`5`	Number of candles on the right used to confirm High/Low. Must wait for enough confirming candles to determine
Buffer % against fake breakouts	`5`	Add buffer zone around High/Low to avoid false signals. `5` = add 5% range amplitude on both sides
Timeframe	`Current`	Timeframe for HIGH LOW calculation (may differ from chart TF)

📐 Detailed operation:

Step	Description
1. Find High	Scan backward from current candle, find candle with `High` higher than 5 candles on the left and 5 candles on the right → local peak. Ex: High = 2935
2. Find Low	Similarly, find candle with `Low` lower than both sides → local bottom. Ex: Low = 2920
3. Determine zone	Sideway Zone = `Low` ↔ `High` (with buffer). Ex: Range = 15, Buffer 5% = 0.75 → Zone = 2919.25 ↔ 2935.75
4. Compare price	Within zone → Sideway. Breaks out → Trending
5. Return	Previous candle closes inside zone → return Sideway

💡 Example (XAUUSD, M5): Left/Right = 5, Buffer = 5%

High = 2935, Low = 2920 → Zone width 15 price, Breakout = 2919.25 ↔ 2935.75
Price = 2928: Within zone → Sideway ✅
Price = 2936: Breaks Breakout High → Trending ↑ ❌

📊 21. BB Channel — Bollinger Bands breakout

🔍 What is BB Channel?
BB consists of 3 lines: Upper Band, Middle Band (SMA), Lower Band. Formula: Middle = SMA(Period), Upper/Lower = Middle ± Deviation × σ.

Application: Price within BB → Sideway. Breaks out → Trending → block DCA. BB auto-adjusts with volatility.

Parameter	Default	Description
Enable/Disable	`false`	Enable BB Channel filter
BB Period	`20`	SMA Period. `20` is standard
BB Deviation	`2.0`	σ Coefficient. `2.0` = 95% data within bands
Timeframe	`Current`	Timeframe for calculating BB
Buffer %	`5`	Buffer zone outside BB against false breaks

📐 How it works:

Step	Description
1. Calculate BB	Use `iBands()` MT5 → Upper, Middle, Lower. VD: Upper = 2938, Lower = 2922
2. Calculate Buffer	Buffer = Bandwidth × %. VD: BW=16, Buffer 5% = 0.8 → Breakout = 2938.8 / 2921.2
3. Compare	Within zone → Sideway. Breaks out → Trending
4. Return	Candle closes within original BB (no buffer) → Sideway

💡 Example (XAUUSD, M5): Period=20, Dev=2.0, Buffer=5%

BB: Upper=2938, Middle=2930, Lower=2922
Price = 2929: Trong BB → Sideway ✅
Price = 2939: Breaks Upper → Trending ↑ ❌

📈 22. Keltner Channel — EMA + ATR price channel

🔍 What is Keltner Channel?

🔥 VOLATILITY — 3 filters Measure volatility / compression alert

25. ATR — Average True Range

ATR measures average volatility range over the last N candles. When ATR exceeds threshold → volatility too high → block DCA (rủi ro lệnh mới bị cuốn). ATR không xác định hướng, chỉ đo mức biến động tuyệt đối. Ngưỡng để 0 thì bộ lọc coi như tắt — phải đặt một mức thật nó mới chặn được gì.

🔍 What is ATR?
ATR measures average volatility range over the last N candles. True Range = max(High-Low, |High-Close[1]|, |Low-Close[1]|). ATR does not determine direction, only measures absolute volatility.

Application: When ATR exceeds threshold → volatility too high → Block DCA (rủi ro lệnh mới bị cuốn).

⚠️ Nhớ đặt ngưỡng, đừng để 0
Mặc định ô ngưỡng là 0. Bật bộ lọc mà để nguyên số đó thì bộ lọc không chặn gì cả — EA ghi một dòng vào tab Experts để báo, nhưng bạn dễ tưởng nó đang hoạt động. Đơn vị là giá gốc của mã, mỗi mã một mức khác nhau: vàng và EURUSD không dùng chung con số được.

Parameter	Default	Description
Enable/Disable	`false`	Enable ATR filter
ATR Max	`0`	Block when ATR ≥ value (in price units). `0` = off
Period	`14`	ATR Period
Timeframe	`Current`	ATR timeframe

💡 Example (XAUUSD):

ATR = 12, Max = 10: Volatility 12 ≥ 10 → Block DCA ❌
ATR = 7, Max = 10: Volatility 7 < 10 → OK ✅

26. ADR — Average Day Range

ADR measures average daily range over the last N days, then compares with today's range. When today's range ≥ X% of ADR → price has moved too much → block DCA. No need for TF button because it always calculates on D1. Runs independently; does not need sideways filter support.

🔍 What is ADR?
ADR (Average Day Range) measures average daily range over the last N days. Filter compares today's range with ADR to determine if the market has moved too far yet.

Application: When today's range ≥ X% of ADR → price has moved too much in the day → Block DCA (because probability of strong continued movement is low, or inversely, it may reverse strongly).

Parameter	Default	Description
Enable/Disable	`false`	Enable ADR filter
ADR Period	`14`	Number of days for average (`14` = 2 weeks)
Threshold %	`80`	Block when today's range ≥ 80% of ADR

💡 Example (XAUUSD):

ADR 14 days = 25 points: Average range = 25 points/day
Today High = 2945, Low = 2930: Range = 15, ratio = 15/25 = 60% < 80% → OK ✅
Today High = 2955, Low = 2930: Range = 25, ratio = 25/25 = 100% ≥ 80% → Block ❌

💡 Note: ADR filter no need for TF button because it always calculates on D1. ADR also runs independently — unlike Squeeze, ADR measures absolute volatility, does not need sideways filter support.

27. Squeeze — BB inside KC (compression alert)

Squeeze occurs when BB lies completely inside KC → volatility is being compressed → about to explode (breakout). Supports 2 modes: Independent (separate params) and Shared (uses params + TF from BB Channel XII.16 and KC XII.17).

⚠️ What is Squeeze?
Squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands lie completely inside Keltner Channel. This means price volatility is being compressed — like a compressed spring, energy accumulates, about to explode (strong breakout).

⚡ 2 modes: Button [S] on panel to switch: Independent (uses separate params) ↔ Shared (borrows params from BB/KC Channel). Button [S] blue = Shared, gray = Independent.

Parameter	Default	Description

KC EMA Period	`20`	EMA period for KC (Independent mode)
KC ATR Multiplier	`1.5`	ATR multiplier for KC (Independent mode)
Timeframe	`Current`	Timeframe (Independent mode)

🔀 Comparison table of 2 modes:

Mode	BB params	KC params	Timeframe
Independent	Separate (XII.25)	Separate (XII.25)	Squeeze TF
Shared [S]	From BB Channel (XII.16)	From KC (XII.17)	TF of BB + TF of KC

📐 Operating logic:

Status	Meaning	Action
Compressed! (BB inside KC)	Volatility is narrowing, energy accumulates → strong breakout about to happen	❌ Block DCA — Dangerous!
OK (BB outside KC)	Volatility normal, no compression signs	✅ Cho DCA

⚠️ Why can't Squeeze be enabled independently?

"Not compressed" (BB outside KC) can be:

Normal sideways — safe for DCA ✅
Strong trending — BB expanded because price moved 1 direction → VERY dangerous! ❌

→ Squeeze cannot distinguish between these 2 cases. Need 1 sideways filter (BBCh, ADX, Ichi...) to confirm "sideways" first, then Squeeze adds value.

💡 Best combination:

BBCh + Squeeze: BBCh confirms sideways → Squeeze warns "about to breakout" → maximum safety
ADX + Squeeze: ADX confirms sideways (ADX < 25) → Squeeze detects the compression → blocks in time
⚠️ If you enable Squeeze without enabling a sideways filter → EA will alert Alert and will not allow enabling

📊 VOLUME — 1 filter Confirm trend using volume

28. OBV — On Balance Volume

OBV accumulate volume by price direction: price up → add volume, price down → subtract volume. EA measures slope OBV (short-term SMA): positive slope large → money flowing in → Inflow. Negative slope large → money flowing out → Outflow. OBV confirms whether the trend has money support.

🔍 What is OBV?
OBV accumulate volume by price direction: price up → add volume, price down → subtract volume. EA measures slope OBV (short-term SMA) to determine money flow.

Application: Positive slope large → money flowing in (Inflow) → Block BUY. Negative slope large → money flowing out (Outflow) → Block SELL. OBV confirms whether the trend has money support.

Parameter	Default	Description
Enable/Disable	`false`	Enable OBV filter
OBV SMA Period	`10`	SMA period to measure OBV slope
Threshold	`0`	Slope threshold. `0` = block when slope positive/negative any
Timeframe	`Current`	OBV timeframe

💡 Example:

OBV slope positive large: Money flowing in → Inflow ↑ → Block BUY ❌
OBV slope negative large: Money flowing out → Outflow ↓ → Block SELL ❌
OBV slope small: Money flow balanced → Neutral ✅

🧩 Filter Group & Strategy Combination ▶ Click to view

📊 29 filters divided into 5 groups by function:

Group	Filter	Function
🔄 OB/OS (10 filter)	Stoch, RSI, CCI, WPR, MFI, DeM, UO, BB%B, RCI, RVI	Block when overbought/oversold in specific direction
📈 Trend (9 filter)	ADX, Chop, Aroon, DMI, VIDYA, Elder, MACD, SAR, Supertrend	Determine sideways vs trending
📏 Price Channel (5 filter)	HIGH LOW, BBCh, KC, DC, Ichimoku	Determine reasonable oscillation zone on chart
🔥 Volatility (3 filter)	ATR, ADR, Squeeze	Measure volatility / compression alert
📊 Volume (1 filter)	OBV	Measure trading volume trend

💡 Real-world filter combination strategies:

BBCh + Squeeze: BBCh confirms sideways → Squeeze warns of spring compression → Block before breakout → Maximum safety
Ichimoku + ADR: Ichi confirms price in Cloud (sideways) + ADR controls daily range → double protection
ADX + Supertrend: ADX measures trend strength + Supertrend confirms specific direction → fewer missed trends
Channel (BBCh + KC + DC): 3 price channels with different reference frames, Combine = Optimal Sideways → safest
DMI + MACD + SAR: Detect trends from 3 angles: force direction (DMI), momentum (MACD), distance (SAR)
RSI/Stoch + ATR: OB/OS filter + volatility → avoid opening orders when price overbought/oversold + high volatility

⚠️ Important note about Squeeze:

Squeeze is the only filter that cannot be enabled independently. When you click to enable Squeeze without any sideways confirmation filter enabled, EA will display Alert warning and do not allow activation. Must enable at least 1 of the 14 filters in the Trend or Channel group first.

🔀 Combine Mode — How to combine multiple filters ▶ Click to view

When you enable multiple filters at the same time, Combine Mode decides how the EA combines signals from the filters.

Combine Mode	Name	Meaning	Example
Optimize Sideway	Prioritize Sideway	Just need 1 filter report Trending → EA considers it Trending. All must be Sideway to be Sideway	RSI=Sideway + ADX=Trending → Trending (block)
Optimize Trending	Prioritize Trending	Just need 1 filter report Sideway → EA considers it Sideway. All must be Trending to be Trending	RSI=Trending + ADX=Sideway → Sideway (allow)

💡 Hint: DCA Bot runs best when the market Sideway. Use Optimize Sideway (default) for safer operation — just need 1 filter suspect Trending and the EA will react.

⚙️ Action Mode — Actions when Trending is detected ▶ Click to view

When filters confirm the market is Trending, the EA will perform actions according to the chosen Action Mode.

Mode	Name	Khi Trending	When Sideway returns
0	Close 2C+Block 2C	Close both BUY+SELL chains + block opening orders both directions until Sideway returns	Unlock both directions, EA trades normally
1	Block 1 Way Default	Block opening NEW in direction same as trend (e.g.: Trending up → block new BUY). Old orders remain	Unlock, allow trading both directions
2	Continue+Block 2C	Running chain still continue running, block opening chain new both directions	Unlock, allow opening new chains
3	Close 2C+Block 1C	Close both chains + block 1 direction with trend (e.g.: Trending UP → close all + block new BUY)	Unlock blocked direction
4	Smart Reset	Close chain opposite trend to cut loss (e.g.: Trending UP → close old losing SELL, ManageGrid opens new clean SELL)	Keep running chain as is
5	Breakeven+Block 1C	Set TP = Breakeven for all chains + block opening new orders with trend	Restore original TP + unlock
6	Switch Market Stop	If running Pending or Market → switch to Market Stop + delete hanging pending. No direction blocked	Restore old mechanism (Pending/Market)
7	Leo Thang (Escalation)	Below N filters report Trending → Block 2 ways. Khi ≥ N filter → Close 2 chains + Block. N = Escalation threshold (default 2)	Gradually unlock as filter count decreases

🎯 Breakeven TP (use with Mode 5)

Value	Meaning	Real example (BUY chain has 10 orders)
`0`	Exact breakeven	TP set at total profit price = $0 → when price returns to breakeven area → close all
`positive` (VD: `5`)	Breakeven + profit	TP set at total profit zone = +$5 → exit with small profit $5
`negative` (VD: `-10`)	Accept loss	TP set at total profit zone = -$10 → accept loss $10 to exit fast on strong trend

📌 Real examples

Scenario 1: Safest (Mode 1)

Enable RSI + ADX, Combine = Optimize Sideway, Action = Mode 1
→ RSI enters the OB zone + ADX > 25 → the EA block opening new BUY (because price is overbought). Old SELL chain continues DCA normally. When Trending ends → reopen both directions.

Scenario 2: Exit fast (Mode 5)

Enable ADX + Choppiness, Action = Mode 5, Breakeven TP = -5
→ Trending detected → Opposite chain set TP at -$5 loss zone to exit fast + block new orders with trend. When Sideway → TP restores, reopen both directions.

Scenario 3: Change mechanism (Mode 6)

Enable ADX, Action = Mode 6
→ ADX > 25 (Trending) → the EA switches to Market Stop (only enters when price touches it, with no pending order set in advance) + deletes the old pendings. When ADX < 25 → Pending is restored.

🔧 How to set up:

Input: Set Combine Mode and Action Mode directly in EA's Input Parameters
Panel: Press button 📊 Filters on panel → Click filter name to enable/disable → Click [H1] to change Timeframe → Change Action Mode and Combine Mode directly
Signal Config: Change filter_action_mode and filter_combine_mode from server → EA auto-updates
✅ Applies to both Local Config and Signal Config

Kill Channel creates outer boundary line based on price channel (Pivot/BB/KC/DC). When price breaks outside boundary → EA automatically closes chain and resets to cut loss early, not wait for MaxLoss. Boundary is locked when opening chain and only resets when chain ends.

Parameter	Description	Example
Enable/Disable Kill Channel	Enable outside channel barrier feature	`false`
Channel type	Price channel data source: Pivot (swing high/low), BB Channel, Keltner Channel, Donchian Channel	`Pivot`
Timeframe	Timeframe for calculating Kill Channel (usually use larger TF than trade TF)	`H1`

📌 How it works

Step	Description
1. Lock boundary	When opening new chain, EA calculates and lock 2 lines Upper/Lower of Kill Channel at that moment. Buffer % is added to avoid false breaks. This boundary fixed until chain ends.
2. Monitor	Every tick, EA checks: Does current price break outside locked Upper or Lower boundary? Also check if price channel filter is reporting Breakout no.
3. Trigger	Khi price breaks boundary + filter reports Breakout → EA close entire chain (both position and pending) and reset Smart DCA. New chain will be recalculated from start with new boundary.

🔍 Kill Channel sources

Channel	How to calculate Upper/Lower	Characteristics
Pivot	Nearest Swing High / Swing Low + Buffer%	Reflects real support/resistance zones, best fit for most pairs
BB Channel	Bollinger Upper/Lower + Buffer%	Adapts to volatility range, stretches with volatility
Keltner	EMA ± ATR × Multiplier + Buffer%	More stable than BB, less affected by spikes
Donchian	Highest High / Lowest Low + Buffer%	Reflects actual range best, simple and intuitive

💡 When to use Kill Channel?

Protect capital: When price breaks channel means market switched to strong trend → cut loss early before MaxLoss
Combine with Smart DCA: Kill Channel uses same channel source (Pivot/BB/KC/DC) as Smart DCA → ensures barrier is outside DCA zone
Use larger TF: Should use H1 or H4 to avoid false signals from short-term volatility
Auto-reset: After Kill → new chain locks new boundary, EA auto-adapts to new market

⚠️ Note: Kill Channel requires at least 1 active price channel filter (Pivot, BB Channel, Keltner, or Donchian) to work. If no channel filter is enabled, Kill Channel will not activate.

When the market shifts from Sideway → Trending (breakout), Breakout Adjust auto widens step and/or reduce multiplier to adapt. This module works supporting for filter, not a new action mode — activates when filter detects breakout and the sequence is open.

Parameter	Description	Example
Enable/Disable Breakout Adjust	Enable the feature to adjust parameters on breakout	`false`
Step Widening Mode	How to calculate the new step when breakout occurs	`Disable`
Step Coefficient	Step widening coefficient (depends on mode: multiply ×1.5, add +5.0, or momentum factor)	`1.5`
Reduce Multi on Breakout	Whether to reduce Multiplier on breakout	`false`
Multi Coefficient	Multiplication factor to reduce Multi (0.8 = reduce 20%)	`0.8`
ATR Timeframe	ATR Timeframe (used only for Momentum mode)	`H1`
ATR Period	ATR Period	`14`

📌 5 Step Widening Modes

Mode	Formula	Example (Step=1, Factor=1.5)
Disable	No step widening, only reduce Multi (if enabled)	Step unchanged = 1
Multiply once	Step × Factor, fixed lock for all new layers	Step = 1 × 1.5 = 1.5 (fixed)
Multiply progressively	Layer k: Step × Factor^k	K1: 1.5, K2: 2.25, K3: 3.375 (increasing)
Add progressively	Layer k: Step + Factor × k	K1: 2.5, K2: 4.0, K3: 5.5 (constant increase)
Momentum	Layer k: Step × (1 + ATR_ratio × Factor)^k	Auto-adapts based on ATR at breakout time

📌 Lifecycle

Stage	Description
⚡ Activation	Filter shifts from Sideway → Trending while sequence is open → EA calculates new step/multi, locks parameters, deletes old pending. System auto-creates new pending with new parameters. MaxLayers is also recalculated based on remaining budget.
🔒 Active	Parameters locked do not change until the sequence closes, even if market returns to Sideway. All new layers use the adjusted step/multi.
🔄 Reset	Only when sequence closes completely (TP or MaxLoss) → parameters reset to original Smart DCA values. New sequence recalculates from the start.

💡 Real-world Example (XAUUSD):

Scenario: EA running Smart DCA, Step auto = 1.0, Multi = 1.2. Enable BBChannel filter.
Breakout occurs: Price breaks above Upper BB → Filter reports Trending → Breakout Adjust activates
Result (Mode Multiply Once, Factor=1.5): New Step = 1.0 × 1.5 = 1.5. If Reduce Multi enabled (Factor=0.8): Multi = 1.2 × 0.8 = 0.96
Benefits: Distance between layers widens → EA places fewer orders when trending. Multi cutting → lot increases slower → reduces risk when market runs strong

⚠️ Note: Breakout Adjust must be used with Smart DCA (enabled) and at least 1 price channel filter to have Sideway→Trending signal. If Smart DCA is off or no filters enabled, module will not activate.

Breakout Hedge — khoá lỗ 1:1 khi phá kênh

Đây là một khối riêng, bật tắt độc lập với phần giãn Step ở trên. Khi giá phá kênh, EA mở lệnh ngược bằng đúng khối lượng để khoá lỗ lại. Lãi lỗ của phần hedge này được theo dõi tách riêng khỏi chuỗi chính.

Parameter	Description	Mặc Định
1. Bật/Tắt Breakout Hedge	Mở lệnh ngược bằng đúng khối lượng để khoá lỗ khi giá phá kênh.	`false`
2. Chế độ Exit	Cách thoát phần hedge: `BE + Step` (SL hoà vốn cho cả cụm, rồi dời theo bước giá) hoặc `Pivot Exit` (đóng khi thị trường quay về sideway / pivot đổi chiều).	`BE + Step`
3. Cutoff %	Giá vượt bấy nhiêu phần trăm kênh thì đóng phần hedge.	`30.0`
4. Cluster SL Step	Bước dời SL của cụm hedge. Đơn vị là giá.	`5.0`
5. Single Hedge Buffer	Khoảng đệm cho trường hợp chỉ hedge lẻ một lệnh. Đơn vị là giá.	`10.0`

Parameter	Description	Example
Enable order pruning	Enable automatic order reduction to shorten sequence	`true`
Trigger Offset k	Layer position using profit to offset loss (counted backward from newest order layer `n`). Loss-offset trigger layer = `n - k`	`1` = Take profit from layer `n-1` to offset loss. When satisfied, close from layer `n-1` to `n` together with most loss-heavy order
Minimum layers	Must have at least N layers to prune	`4` = no pruning while the sequence is < 4 layers
Maximum layers when pruning	Limit remaining layers after pruning	`100` = no limit
Reduce TP after pruning	Adjust TP after pruning completes	`true`

💡 Detailed pruning example:

BUY sequence 10 orders in red: L1 (heaviest loss from buying at peak), L2 (loss), ... L9 (profit), L10 (most profit from buying at bottom)

With Trigger Offset k=2: Profit-trigger layer = 10 - 2 = 8. Bot uses profit from order L8 alone to check loss offset for L1:

✅ If Profit(L8) ≥ Loss(L1) → EA closes loss order L1 together with orders L8, L9, L10 (close 4 orders)
✅ 10-layer sequence now has only 6 layers, significantly reducing margin pressure
💰 Result: "fry the fat", use profit from bottom cluster to offset top order, help pull common TP line to shore faster

Parameter	Description	Example
Enable Order Control	Enable remote control	`true`
Control Symbol	Control Symbol (different from trading symbol)	`BTCUSD`, `ETHUSD`
Control Price - START	Price to START EA	`1`
Control Price - STOP	Price to STOP EA	`2`
Control Price - REST	Price to REST	`3`
Control Price - CONTINUE	Price to CONTINUE	`4`

💡 How to use:

Place a BUY LIMIT pending order at the corresponding price on your phone to execute the action. EA will receive and execute the order, then delete the pending order automatically.
