The Prompt
Develop a comprehensive MQL5 indicator that implements an advanced trading strategy utilizing order blocks, risk management, and alert systems. The indicator must:
– Detect and visualize buy and sell signals on the chart using arrows. These signals should be triggered by specific conditions, including:
– RSI thresholds
– Moving average relations
– Detection of order blocks (e.g., large candles followed by consolidation)
– Accurately identify order blocks through price action analysis.
– Manage trade execution with user-configurable parameters:
– Risk percentage per trade
– Maximum order size
– Stop loss
– Take profit levels
– Calculate lot sizes dynamically based on the account balance and risk settings.
– Execute trades automatically with defined stop loss and take profit.
– Generate alerts via MQL5 alert functions at each trade execution, clearly informing the user of buy or sell orders placed.
**Follow these steps:**
1. Initialize indicator buffers for buy and sell arrow signals with distinct colors visible on the chart.
2. Implement a function to reliably detect order blocks based on price action patterns (e.g., large candle followed by consolidation zones).
3. In the OnCalculate loop:
– Compute RSI and moving average values.
– Integrate these with order block detections to decide buy or sell signals.
4. Develop a trade execution function that:
– Calculates position sizes by risk percentage.
– Places orders with stop loss and take profit.
5. Trigger real-time alerts when trades are executed, indicating order type and details.
**Output Format:**
– Visual buy/sell arrows displayed on the trading chart at signal points:
– Blue arrows below price for buys
– Blue arrows above price for sells
– Logging messages in the console confirming order success or detailing errors.
**Examples:**
– Buy Signal:
– RSI is below 30
– Price closes above moving average
– An order block is identified
– Place buy order and show blue arrow below the price.
– Sell Signal:
– RSI exceeds 70
– Price closes below moving average
– An order block is spotted
– Place sell order and display blue arrow above the price.
