CLMCA ("Có Làm Mới Có Ăn") — MetaTrader 5 EA for XAUUSD M15

English · Tiếng Việt

⚠️ Read first. This EA has not passed statistical validation. Backtests are in-sample: the past does not guarantee the future. Losing streaks of 40–65 trades and drawdowns lasting 2.5–4 years have happened in historical data. You can lose all your capital. This is not investment advice. Run it on a demo account first.

Website (detailed explanation, backtest results, validation journey): https://clmca.pandify.io

A free, open-source EA by Pandify, built as open trading research: every result is published, including the tests that failed. Thanks to the Cần Cù Bù Siêng Năng community.

6 strategies (InpMode)

Mode	Name	Entry	Max open trades	Stop-loss ladder
C_V1	Classic Pullback	Pullback to the EMA34/EMA89 "Dragon", bullish confirmation candle, filters on ADX · H1/H4 trend · Dragon width · slope (thresholds × ATR14)	3	at +2R ⇒ SL to break-even, +3R ⇒ +1R, +4R ⇒ +2R…
C_V1_P1b	Near-Touch Pullback	as C_V1, pullback also accepted when "near" (≤ EMA34 high + 0.5·ATR14)	3	as C_V1
C_V1_P2	3-Bar Pullback	as C_V1, pullback on any of the 3 candles before the signal	3	as C_V1
D_V1	Every Signal	as C_V1, one trade per signal	20	at +1R ⇒ break-even, +3R ⇒ +1R…
L07S	London Open 7AM	M15 candle at 07:00 UTC (Mon–Fri), H4 above EMA34 and EMA89, enough slope	3	as C_V1
D_V1_CAP3	Every Signal Max 3	exactly as D_V1	3	as D_V1

LONG only. Every trade has a hard stop-loss = EMA89 − 0.956·ATR14. No take-profit, no martingale, no grid. After 2 losing trades in one day (UTC), the EA stops opening new trades until the day ends.

Trading hours (group 5): 24/7 by default. You can limit entries to a From–To window (0–23, both ends included, may wrap past midnight) in your computer's time or in UTC. On start, the EA prints the chosen window converted to UTC so you can check it. In the Strategy Tester you must pick "UTC time". L07S always trades the 07:00 UTC candle and ignores this group.

Install

Quick (single file): download CLMCA.ex5 from the release page, put it in MQL5/Experts/ inside the MT5 data folder (File → Open Data Folder), restart MT5 or refresh the Navigator, then attach it to an XAUUSD M15 chart and enable Algo Trading. You can load a preset from the Inputs tab → Load → CLMCA_<strategy>.set.

Full (with self-test):

1. Copy the MQL5/Experts/CLMCA/ folder into the MT5 data folder.
2. In MetaEditor, compile CLMCA_SelfTest.mq5 and drag it onto any chart. The Experts tab must print PASS … fail=0.
3. Compile CLMCA.mq5 and attach it to an XAUUSD M15 chart (Exness: XAUUSDm), enable Algo Trading.

Prop-firm accounts

• Read your firm's rules first: daily loss, static vs trailing max drawdown, daily reset time. Backtests have had drawdowns beyond many firms' limits.
• Many prop firms ban mass-distributed EAs or identical trades across accounts. Everyone running the same CLMCA strategy gets nearly identical trades; you may be denied a payout or lose the account. That risk is yours.

Verify your download

Compare the sha256 of your file with SHA256SUMS (also listed on the website):

• Windows: certutil -hashfile CLMCA.ex5 SHA256
• macOS / Linux: shasum -a 256 CLMCA.ex5

On start, the Experts tab prints [CLMCA] build <date time>; include this line when reporting a bug.

Official copy

Download only from this repo or https://clmca.pandify.io and check the sha256. A modified copy is not the original; if you change the code, rename the EA and change the magic.

Log files

The EA writes CSV files to MQL5/Files/fsr5_<MODE>/: trades.csv, signals.csv (every candle, with the reason when no trade was opened), ladder_moves.csv, lifecycle.csv, incidents.csv.

Donate

CLMCA is free. If you find it useful, you can support it via the Donate section of the website (PayPal / bank QR): https://clmca.pandify.io/en/#contact Donating unlocks nothing: there is no paid version and no private signals.

Support

Best-effort, no response time guaranteed. Report bugs via GitHub Issues, with the sha256 of the file you run and the Experts-tab log.

For contributors

Edit files in MQL5/Experts/CLMCA/; do not edit release/CLMCA.mq5 by hand. After editing, run python3 tools/bundle.py to regenerate the single-file build. Before a release, backtest the single-file build and the multi-file build on the same date range: trades.csv must match trade by trade.
