About Me

I am an independent MQL5 developer focused on MetaTrader 5 indicators and manual trading tools. My work sits at the intersection of two ideas: the market structure concepts traders actually use (Smart Money Concepts, liquidity, order flow), and the engineering discipline required to make those concepts work in real-time without repainting.

My Journey

Like most MQL5 developers, I started by trying to fix something. In my case it was SMC indicators that showed beautiful BOS and CHoCH signals in screenshots but moved, vanished, or appeared retroactively in live trading. That frustration became a rule: never read the forming bar. Every signal, level, and alert in every product I publish is calculated on closed bars only.

What I Build

• Non-repainting Smart Money Concepts engines (structure, order blocks, FVGs, sweeps)
• Volatility-scaled support and resistance tools (ATR zones, MACD S/R)
• Volume-weighted context systems (Anchored VWAP with EMA bias gating)
• Manual trade management panels with drag-line price triggers, grid modes, break-even, laddered TPs, and trailing stops

How I Work

I do not publish source code for my Market products, but I do write detailed design walkthroughs on my MQL5 blog. Those posts explain the concepts, the trade-offs, and the patterns — without giving away the working implementation. If you are a developer yourself, you will find reusable ideas there.

Get in Touch

The best way to reach me is through the MQL5 messaging system. I read every message, though I may not be able to respond to every inquiry immediately.
