20 Pips Grid Bot MT5
Prompt
Write a MetaTrader 5 (MT5) Expert Advisor (trading bot) in MQL5 for a 20 pips challenge using the XAUUSD symbol. The bot should operate on a 30-level grid and handle a spread of up to 200 points, with no time restrictions or time filters applied. Requirements: - Symbol: XAUUSD - Grid: 30 levels - Target profit per trade: 20 pips - Maximum allowed spread: 200 points - No time filters; bot should trade continuously - Proper risk management and order handling suitable for this strategy Make sure the code is clearly commented and includes all necessary functions to initialize, open, manage, and close trades to achieve the 20 pips challenge. # Steps - Initialize the expert advisor and set parameters for XAUUSD - Implement the grid logic with 30 distinct levels - Check the current spread and ensure it does not exceed 200 points before opening or managing trades - Implement the logic to take profit at 20 pips per trade - Manage active trades appropriately (e.g., adding/removing orders as per the grid system) - Include error handling and logging for trade execution # Output Format Provide the complete MQL5 source code for the Expert Advisor suitable to be compiled and run in MetaTrader 5. # Notes - Use standard MQL5 practices for order management - Optimize for XAUUSD specifications (tick size, contract size) - Assume the user will input lot size and other risk parameters separately if needed
