Who can help me to build this EA?


Here is the updated spec sheet with your final execution refinement. The retest logic has been made more realistic by allowing a **5-pip buffer zone** (close-to-touch) so the EA doesn't miss high-quality trades if the market turns around just a fraction of a pip before hitting the exact line.

---

**Subject:** FINAL Specs for custom MT4/MT5 Fully Automated Breakout & Retest EA

Hey! Here is the finalized list of specifications for the EA. Please ensure it includes the updated retest buffer logic, pair restrictions, single-position risk management, dashboard, and notifications.

The EA will be hosted on a VPS so I can watch it run live from my mobile phone. Please use this exact logic:

---

## 🛠️ 1. Core Fully Automated Strategy & Scanner

The EA operates as a 100% hands-free system based on a **Breakout, Retest, and Price Action Candlestick Confirmation** system.

* **Account Compatibility:** The EA must be fully functional and authorized to trade on **both Demo and Live accounts** with no licensing restrictions between account types.
* **Asset Restrictions (Strict):** The EA must **only** scan and trade two specific currency pairs: **GBPUSD** and **EURUSD**. All other assets must be ignored.
* **Manual Timeframe Input:** Before activating the EA to begin trading, the user must manually input/choose the desired timeframe. The EA **can only trade one selected option at a time** (either the 4-Hour chart OR the Daily chart exclusively).
* **Auto-Scanner:** The EA must automatically scan the chart to identify and plot **Major Support Levels** and **Major Resistance Levels** (using significant historical swing highs and swing lows) on the chosen timeframe.

## 🔄 2. The Execution Flow & Position Management

The EA must strictly follow this precise, chronological order before any order is placed:

1. **The Breakout:** Price must cleanly close past a major auto-scanned Support or Resistance level.
2. **The Retest (Updated Logic):** Price must pull back toward the broken level. To count as a valid retest, the price **must either completely touch the retest level OR come within a maximum buffer zone of 5 pips** from the exact line.
3. **The Confirmation (CRITICAL):** The EA must wait for that current retest candle to **completely close** right at, above, or below the retest zone (within the 5-pip threshold). It is *forbidden* to enter a trade unless this closed candlestick forms a valid price action reversal signal.
4. **Single Position Max Risk Rule:** The EA **can only trade only one position as a signal**. It must never layer multiple entries, grid, or open a second position for the same setup. One setup = One single trade.

## 🎯 3. Required Price Action Confirmation Signals

Once the price touches or enters the 5-pip retest zone, the EA must scan for **one** of these specific closed candlestick patterns to trigger the single trade entry:

1. **Pinbar (Rejection Candle):** A candle with a long wick pointing through the level but closing firmly outside of it (showing aggressive price rejection).
2. **Bullish / Bearish Engulfing Pattern:** A strong momentum candle whose real body completely swallows/engulfs the real body of the immediately preceding candle.
3. **Doji + Follow-up Confirmation:** If a Doji (a flat, cross-like candle showing a tie) prints directly on the retest level, the EA **must not** enter immediately. It must wait for the **very next candle** to close.
* *For a Buy:* The candle after the Doji must close as a strong bullish candle, confirming the shift in market direction.
* *For a Sell:* The candle after the Doji must close as a strong bearish candle, confirming the shift in market direction.



## 📊 4. Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit Rules

* **Entry Timing:** The entry order must be executed **immediately** at the open of the very next candle following a valid, closed confirmation candlestick. No delays.
* **Stop Loss (SL):** Fixed at **30 pips** from the entry price.
* **Take Profit (TP):** Fixed at **50 pips** from the entry price.

## 🖥️ 5. Visual Dashboard & Alert System

The EA must display a clean, user-friendly, on-screen text dashboard on the chart displaying real-time metrics, alongside instant utility notifications:

* **On-Screen Dashboard Display Items:**
* **Current Trend:** (Bullish / Bearish / Ranging)
* **Breakout Status:** (Waiting for Breakout / Level Broken / No Breakout)
* **Retest Status:** (Waiting for Retest / Within 5-Pip Buffer Zone / Touch Detected)
* **Confirmation Candle Detected:** (None / Pinbar / Engulfing / Doji Waiting / Confirmed)
* **Trade Status:** (Idle / Monitoring Setup / Position Open / SL or TP Hit)


* **Alert Notifications:** The moment a valid confirmation candlestick closes and a setup is officially triggered, the EA must immediately send out:
* **MT4/MT5 Mobile Push Notifications** (sent directly to my phone app via the MetaQuotes ID).
* **Desktop Terminal Pop-up Alerts** with sound cues.



## ⚙️ 6. User Inputs Needed (External Variables)

Please include these options in the input panel so I can easily adjust parameters before turning the EA on:

* `Select_Timeframe` (Dropdown Input: **H4 Only / D1 Only**).
* `Retest_Buffer_Pips` (Default: **5**. Allows adjustment of the near-touch tolerance).
* `Enable_Pinbar_Trigger` (True/False)
* `Enable_Engulfing_Trigger` (True/False)
* `Enable_Doji_Combination_Trigger` (True/False)
* `Enable_Mobile_Push_Notifications` (True/False)
* `Enable_Terminal_Popup_Alerts` (True/False)
* `Lot_Size` (Default: **0.01**. Keep this input completely neutral with no hardcoded minimum restrictions so that any custom lot size can be manually entered).
* `Stop_Loss_Pips` (Default: 30)
* `Take_Profit_Pips` (Default: 50)
* `Magic_Number` (Unique ID for tracking trades)

tozynetita:
Ftmo is apparently the best prop firm that have stood the test of time. FundedNext is packaged scam firm. Seems most Dubai based prop firms are scammers due to lack of regulation.

I'm currently trying fundingpips. Has anyone tried America based prop firms like E8? Prop firms in America should be properly regulated.

Gabson, someone said you were formerly pipsbasketing. Do you remember this thread by dowjones who wanted to turn $10k to $1m in 2019;

https://www.nairaland.com/5276637/journey-million-dollars#79857499

I wonder where dowjones is now. Gosh, I miss forex threads of nairaland from 2007 - 2019

Fundingpips and E8 na senior men like FTMO. Them no dey disappoint for big payouts, but it can happen o - but e neva happen (as far as I know)

If you need referral links, please, allow me supply you.

Thank you

GabsonFX2:

GabsonFX2:

Alexas58:

GabsonFX2:
Now Officially a PRIME TRADER FOR FTMO

Years of struggles, learning, unlearning, relearning, frustrations, sleepless nights, all have become success today.

See all the requirements and benefits attached to becoming a prime trader. My next ladder is going to be supreme trader.

If I get serious now, in 15 years time is when I'll catch up with these feats chief dey pour out like water

CONGRATULATIONS, baba, na super trader you be, true true.

GabsonFX2:

With FTMO, I have now moved up another tier. I moved from Bronze tier to Silver tier to Gold tier and now Platinum tier.

God bless FTMO

GabsonFX2:
I'm elated to share UPDATES on my FTMO payout

---

FTMO.com paid me 80% share of my $9,410.02 profits, requested yesterday, processed today (less than 12hrs) - See attached
I recently (5days ago) posted that The5ers scammed me of my payouts $22K & 3K & my challenge fee $545. Passed phase 1, 2, and funded, made profits, scaled up to a $125K account, and made another profit. Time for withdrawal, they also called for an interview, they took all my strategies (I'm a manual MT4 trader, no EA, bots, no copytrading or bulk trading, all manual), denied my payouts $22K, $3K & $545 challenge fee, deactivated my accounts, banned me, blocked me on their socials (Facebook, telegram, support chats), and threatened me with a lawyer. Some other genuine traders on Reddit have similar experiences.

This is a lesson to everyone - FTMO is the father that fathers all the fathers that father every propfirms, if you want headache, keep trying other propfirm - AS FOR ME, I HAVE VOUCHED TO STICK TO FTMO FOR LIFE.

Congratulations, chief 👏 🙌

GabsonFX2:
The5ers scammed another innocent trader, he posted 7mins ago on their facebook - the admin will soon block him.

Watch out guys, check back his post in next 1hr, it would have been gone

Omo, why is the5ers making us doubt their authenticity these few days?

matuskyoo7:
Who can recommend a good and trustworthy propfirm since the one I once trusted is a scammer

FTMO. Use the link.

https://trader.ftmo.com/?affiliates=SleFRmflhlRitEpOjnPI

UniversalAngel:
Lol

I promise you what they will meet is something they can't disappear from whether online or offline.
I just pray 🙏🏾 for your sake that they go through that route and watch the surprise drama unfold befor their eyes.

A least compensation of $200k will be paid after the payout issue has been handled and won.

Just know someone who know someone. (INTERPOL will be pleased to hear this).

Cool. Gabsonfx2, abeg, drag them well make them write your lawyer.

If the legal battle done start, I am available to be subpoenaed

UniversalAngel:
If they want to go through the lawyer route, i am more than available to help you handle that for free.

I pray they go through that route and I swear they will pay you more than all your payouts owed plus your efforts..

It really pleases me reading this

GabsonFX2:
Guys on reddit just taught me a better way to do my post on twitter, I have done that now

please, let's retweet this sh*t

https://x.com/fx_gabson41544/status/2038094394348171604?s=20

Correct. Will do now.

But, can I add the threat their rep issued you, chief?

GabsonFX2:
I think I did this morning

Sorry about all your ordeals, chief.

Share the link to this reddit post you made, please.

Godwill794:
I like the community and what is being exchanged for the betterment of one another, i Only have a strategy at the moment that prints well, 106% win rate, setup just now on the chart

Are you going to sell it or help the community get it for free for their 'betterment,' chief?

GabsonFX2:
Still ongoing, closing on Wednesday
1,712 pips running on gold

Correct. Where do you look to closing it, chief?

leocollins:
Gold bleeped me up this week till I had to delete it,I don't even know who sent me to trade Gold,I would have stick to my currency pairs,my pairs was ranging through out this week and I hate ranging Market...it part of the game, no be everytime man dey win...
Bleep Gold

No let that bleep from Gold discourage you from going close to it. Persist on trading Gold on a demo and you'll abandon every other pairs .

Your RM dey okay, cos looking at ur loss compared to ours is small. Maintain that tight RM with Gold and you'll be happy you struck a gold

Alexas58:
This game is psychological
And I’ll say my issue started when some prop firm allowed me to do swing trading to pass my challenge phase

And then, when I got funded, I could not hold trades overnight on their funded accounts

This is the most useless rule they’ve ever implemented
And they implemented it October 2025



Well, now, I am dealing with prop firms tha allow swing trading and no consistency rule


They’re very few

Which firm is that? (at d bolded)

Alexas58:
The only thing constant in this life is change

I have been really struggling to modify my method for the past 7 months

I have struggled to gradually shift my market to taking trades solely from the daily time frame.

My method conflicted a little because of one setting I have always used

It made me loose my FoTi market account on February 10 2026

I lost my two FundedNext account to this changes on January 19 2026

And lost my FTMO on it Dec 2025.

And I almost blew up my FTMO challenge



Well, from my observation so far, I have modified my methods, and placed a trade after a very long while, and have held it how I want to .

I am on drawdown of -9.5% on my challenge account

If this position should hold, as expected am aiming a target of 1:3 RR

Which can help me scale to the next level

001, pele.

No worry, so much, na time be everything and you'll come around again

E no really easy to take am easy for this business/profession of ours.

GabsonFX2:
Hello house,
Thanks brothers...
I hope that the market is treating you nicely. how are the props and brokers treating you all.
As for me, I have active funded accounts with F*T*M-O, The*5-ERS and Dar*win-ex
Fundednext permanently banned me last week after I got my last pay from them - I'm no longer able to buy account with them.

I wish you all success---keep grinding.

FundedNext no go carry last. They're now very shady

GabsonFX2:


Blessed is the house!

Wow, chief Gabson is here. Welcome back, chief.

iichidodo:
Try to get your profits in ASAP at every opportunity,at every profitable trading call and keep your bankroll... Don't leave money hanging about, the only safe money is the money in your bank account. Anything left on your FX account is game to the wild intricacies of Forex,its brokers and the lasting damage of your emotions as a retail trader..
