HITPositionManagerEA Specification

1. Overview

HITPositionManagerEA.mq5 is the filled-position manager for positions created by HITEntryEA.mq5. It never creates new orders or pending orders. It is a retail hedging account EA and fails initialization on non-hedging accounts.

The managed set is limited to positions whose POSITION_SYMBOL equals _Symbol and whose POSITION_MAGIC equals input_managed_magic_number. Multiple tickets, split entries, and simultaneous buy/sell positions are managed independently.

2. Indicators

No standard or custom indicators are used.
SLTP management uses the current tick, each position's open price, SL, TP, open time, and symbol stop/freeze levels.
High-volatility stop tightening uses M1/M3/M5/M10/M15 open prices and the current market price.

3. Parameters

input_managed_magic_number = 10001: Magic number of positions to manage. It should match the entry EA's input_entry_magic_number.
input_slippage_points = 10: Allowed deviation for closes and SL modifications.
input_position_close_after_h1_bars = 12: Time-based close threshold in H1 bars. 0 disables it.
input_sltp_manager_enabled = false: Master switch for SLTP management.
input_sltp_show_panel = true: Shows the SLTP control panel.
input_sltp_use_breakeven: Standard breakeven.
input_sltp_use_elapsed_breakeven: Elapsed-time breakeven.
input_sltp_use_active_trailing: Active trailing.
input_sltp_use_tp_progress_stop: TP-progress stop.
input_sltp_use_high_volatility_limit: High-volatility stop tightening.

4. Entry And Exit Conditions

There are no entry conditions because this EA does not create orders.
On every tick, the EA first evaluates ticket-based time exits and then applies SLTP management.
Time exits close target tickets when POSITION_TIME is older than input_position_close_after_h1_bars * PeriodSeconds(PERIOD_H1) by using CTrade::PositionClose(ticket).
SLTP management applies only candidates that improve the current SL in the profit-protection direction, preserving the current TP with CTrade::PositionModify(ticket, new_sl, current_tp).

5. Risk Management

All position processing uses PositionGetTicket(i) followed by PositionSelectByTicket(ticket).
Only positions matching _Symbol and input_managed_magic_number are touched.
Different magic numbers, different symbols, and manual-position equivalents are ignored.
Logs include ticket, symbol, magic, position type, trade retcode, and GetLastError().
Standard breakeven and active trailing cannot be enabled together; settings validation rejects that conflict.

6. Unit Test Scope

The production manager EA contains no test-only order creation.
In the Strategy Tester, HITPositionManagerTestHarness.mq5 seeds test BUY/SELL positions and a different-magic control position, then calls the same production manager classes.
Test coverage targets same-symbol/same-magic multi-ticket handling, simultaneous buy/sell positions, magic mismatch exclusion, time exits, and SL updates.

7. Changelog

2026-06-07: Split position-management responsibilities from HIT-EA_refactor_ver6.mq5 and defined a hedging-account, ticket-based manager EA.
