DML EA JUMP & FLIP

The DML EA JUMP & FLIP is a unique tool designed to detect JUMP setups, which are above-average breakaways or displacements of DML levels. Observations show that after a JUMP signal is generated, the price often reverses against the direction of the breakaway. In addition to the standard JUMP setup, the robot also handles its dynamic variation: the JUMP & FLIP. A FLIP setup occurs when the breakaway is so strong that the new levels appear on the opposite side of the price. For example, if a level was below the price and the next one appears above it, this is both a JUMP and a FLIP signal.

Main Startup Settings

Trading ON on init: Determines whether the EA should start trading automatically when placed on the chart.
- Setting it to `false` (default) provides a safety measure. After an accidental platform restart, the robot will manage existing orders but will not open new ones without manual activation via the on-chart button.
- Setting it to `true` will start trading immediately.

Important Note: When backtesting in the MT5 Strategy Tester, the Trading ON on init parameter must be set to TRUE. Otherwise, the tester will visualize the levels, but the robot will not open any positions.

Strategy Modes

This section defines the core logic the EA will use to find and trade setups.

JUMP_only: In this mode, the EA trades pure JUMP setups. It focuses on detecting level breakaways and takes positions opposite to the direction of the breakaway, regardless of which side of the price the new level appears on.
JUMP_FLIP: This mode exclusively looks for JUMP setups that are also FLIPs. A signal is only generated when a breakaway is combined with the level "flipping" to the other side of the price. The location of the signal is key here: a FLIP below the price suggests a BUY position, while a FLIP above the price suggests a SELL position.
JUMP_FLIP_Continuation: This mode trades both FLIP setups and continuation signals. If a new level appears on the same side of the price after the last FLIP signal, the EA will treat it as a continuation of the move.

Global Parameters

Basic configuration settings for the EA.

Symbol Selection Mode: `Automatic` auto-detects the symbol from the chart. `Manual` allows you to enter the instrument name by hand.
Manual Name For Symbol: A field to manually enter the symbol (e.g., `EURUSD`) when in `Manual` mode.
Broker Server Time (GMT): Sets the time zone offset of your broker's server relative to GMT.
Magic Number: A unique identifier. Each EA instance on your platform must have a different Magic Number to avoid conflicts.
Reverse Signal: Inverts the signal logic (a buy signal becomes a sell signal, and vice versa).

Proximity Alerts

This feature notifies you when the price approaches a selected DML level.

Proximity alerts: Enables or disables the alert functionality.
Proximity activation distance (Points): Specifies the distance in points from the level that will trigger an alert.
Popup Alerts: Enables pop-up notifications on the MT5 platform.
Mobile Alerts: Enables push notifications to your MT5 mobile app.

Button Parameters

Settings for the on-chart control panel.

Show Button: Shows or hides the button panel on the chart.
Buttons Position: Selects the corner of the chart where the panel will be displayed.
Helper Buttons: The panel includes additional function buttons:
- H (Hide): Toggles the visibility of all DML levels on the chart.
- E (Extend): Activates a mode to permanently extend level lines into the future.
- A (Alert): Activates a mode to permanently set proximity alerts on levels.
Helper Buttons Position: This parameter determines where the helper buttons (H, E, A) will appear relative to the main level buttons (e.g., top, bottom, left, or right).
Other Parameters: Allow for detailed customization of the panel's appearance, such as button size (`Button X/Y Size`), text color, font size, and spacing.

Levels Parameters

In this section, you can configure up to 12 different DML levels for the EA to monitor simultaneously. Each level can have individual signal settings.

DML Level Name: The name of the DML level to be monitored (e.g., `SkyBlue`).
Button Color: The color of the on-chart button assigned to this level.
Number Of Minutes In Breakout Zone: The duration in minutes that a level must remain in the "Breakout Zone" before its breakaway (JUMP) can generate a signal.
New Level Breakaway Distance [Points]: The minimum distance in points that a new level must "jump" from the previous ones to be considered a JUMP signal.

Lot Size Management / Setup Parameters

This section allows for precise management of position sizing and risk.

Lot Size Mode:
- fixed: A constant lot size, manually defined in the grid parameters.
- Lot_perBalance: Lot size is calculated proportionally to the account balance, based on the `Balance for position` value.
- Risk_from_Balance: Lot size is calculated based on a percentage of the account balance (`riskedPercent`).
- Risk_from_Equity: Lot size is calculated based on a percentage of the account equity (`riskedPercent`).
- Risk_from_Amount: Lot size is calculated so that the potential loss does not exceed the amount defined in `riskedAmount`.
Lot Difference:
- same_for_all: All positions in the grid will have the size defined by the user settings.
- multiplier_for_baseLot: The size of subsequent positions in the grid is determined by a multiplier, allowing for strategies like Martingale.
Balance for position: Defines the amount of balance per unit of lot size. For example, if you enter 1000, the robot will open a 0.01 lot position for every 1000 units of currency in the account.

Very Important Note: In risk-based modes, if the calculated position size is smaller than the broker's minimum allowed lot (e.g., 0.01), the robot will open a position with the minimum size. On small accounts, this could lead to a loss greater than the defined risk.

Grid Setup Parameters

These parameters define how the order grid is constructed after a signal is generated.

Open Shift Mode: Determines whether the distances between orders in the grid (`Open Shift`) are measured in points (`in_points`) or as a multiplier of the range (`range_Multiplier`). The range is the distance between the signal-generating DML level and the price at the time of the signal.
First Order At Market: If `true`, the first order is placed immediately at the market price after a signal. If `false`, the EA places a pending order at the open price of the M1 candle on which the signal occurred.
Used Price Level for Shifts: Decides whether subsequent orders in the grid are placed relative to the price of the first opened order (`first_order_price`) or the DML level that generated the signal (`level_price`).

Tip: The `Open Shift` values can be negative. Positive values create a GRID setup (orders placed against the market), while negative values create a PYRAMID setup (orders added in the direction of price movement).

DML Take Profit and Stop Loss Management

TP & SL Management

Advanced options for managing Stop Loss and Take Profit orders.

TP Mode / SL Mode: Allows setting Take Profit and Stop Loss levels in points (`in_points`) or as a multiplier of the range (`range_Multiplier`).
Use Move TP: Activates the dynamic Take Profit adjustment feature. You can define up to 4 conditions – after a specific position in the grid is opened, the common TP for all orders will be moved to a new, defined level.
Move SL/BE: A dynamic function to move the Stop Loss (or to Break Even).
- Reference Price: The reference point for calculations can be the price of the first order or the DML level that generated the signal.
- Triggers & Shifts: You can set 4 thresholds. Each threshold consists of two values: the distance from the reference point that activates the change (Trigger), and the new level to which the SL will be moved (Shift).

Risk & Safety Functions

Additional modules to protect capital and secure profits.

Safe Profit Function: A profit protection feature. It's activated after a specific position number is opened. When the price gets close to the TP by a defined distance, the function "arms" itself. If the price then retreats and reaches a second defined distance, the orders are closed.
- Operating Modes: It can close all positions in the setup, or only those that are currently in profit. In the second scenario, positions closed with a profit will be re-established as pending orders.
Max Daily Loss: The maximum allowable daily loss in your account currency. Once reached, the robot stops opening new setups for that trading day.

Time & Session Filters

Time filters allow you to adapt the EA's operation to specific sessions or avoid undesirable market periods.

Trading Time Parameters: Allows you to precisely define the days of the week and hours during which the robot is allowed to open new setups.
Exclude Time Parameters: Lets you define a "time window" during which the robot will not open new orders (e.g., during spread widening at session rollovers). All previously opened setups will continue to be managed according to their logic.
MMD Filter Parameters: A trade filter based on the MMD methodology (moving average clouds). It allows you to define two moving averages (SMA and EMA) from a selected timeframe. The robot will only open positions if the JUMP/FLIP signal aligns with the direction indicated by the clouds, enabling strategies like trading with the higher-timeframe trend.
