SKILL.md Section 5 rewritten with PointValue-based formulas:
- Direction A: SL points → SL price
- Direction B: Risk% + lots → SL price (with currency conversion)
- Direction C: SL price + risk% → lot size
- FindFXRate helper for profit_currency ≠ account_currency
- OrderCalcProfit verification pattern
Section 8 expanded with 6 SL/TP pitfalls (PointValue vs TICK_VALUE,
TickSize ≠ Point, currency conversion, NormalizeDouble rounding,
lot step quantization, STOPS_LEVEL check).
Section 9 EA skeleton now includes inline PointValue, FindFXRate,
CalcSLFromRisk, CalcLotsFromSL functions.

## Body Content Structure
|
||
|
||
### 1. MQL5 Fundamentals
|
||
- Language and file types (.mq5, .mqh, .ex5)
|
||
- Program types: EA, Indicator, Script, Service
|
||
- MQL5 directory structure (Windows, Linux/Wine)
|
||
- Multi-instance MT5 operations
|
||
|
||
### 2. Trading Operations
|
||
- Core concepts: Order, Deal, Position
|
||
- CTrade class usage patterns
|
||
- Position queries (Hedging vs Netting)
|
||
- Order execution pattern with error handling
|
||
|
||
### 3. Indicators and Multi-Timeframe
|
||
- Built-in indicator handles (iMA, iRSI, iMACD, iBands)
|
||
- Reading indicator values via CopyBuffer
|
||
- Multi-timeframe analysis pattern
|
||
- New bar detection
|
||
|
||
### 4. Ticks and Bars
|
||
- Timeseries access (MqlRates, ArraySetAsSeries)
|
||
- Tick data (MqlTick, SymbolInfoTick)
|
||
- Key functions table
|
||
|
||
### 5. Risk Management and Lot Sizing
|
||
- **PointValue concept**: profit-currency per 1-point move for 1 lot
|
||
- Forex/CFD: `point × ContractSize`
|
||
- Futures: `point × TickValue / TickSize`
|
||
- **Direction A**: SL distance points → SL price
|
||
- **Direction B**: Risk% + fixed lots → SL price (with currency conversion)
|
||
- **Direction C**: SL price + risk% → lot size
|
||
- **Profit verification**: OrderCalcProfit + manual formula
|
||
- Risk-to-Reward ratio
|
||
- Position sizing rules (7 rules)
|
||
|
||
### 6. Backtesting and Optimization
|
||
- Strategy Tester concepts
|
||
- OnTester custom optimization criterion
|
||
- Key statistics table
|
||
- Backtesting workflow
|
||
|
||
### 7. Event Handlers Reference
|
||
- Handler table (OnInit through OnTesterPass)
|
||
|
||
### 8. Common Pitfalls
|
||
- **General** (10 items): ResultRetcode, MagicNumber, NormalizeDouble, etc.
|
||
- **SL/TP and Risk Calculation** (6 items): PointValue vs TICK_VALUE,
|
||
TickSize vs Point, currency conversion, NormalizeDouble rounding,
|
||
lot step quantization, STOPS_LEVEL check
|
||
|
||
### 9. Quick Reference — EA Skeleton
|
||
- Complete EA template with inline risk functions:
|
||
- `PointValue()`, `FindFXRate()`, `CalcSLFromRisk()`, `CalcLotsFromSL()`
|
||
- OnTick example with SL calculation and loss verification
|
||
|
||
### 10. References
|
||
- In-skill references (book/, docs/, symbol-spec/, scripts/)
|
||
- External links (MQL5 Reference, MQL5 Book, Strategy Tester Guide)
|
||
|
||
## Implementation Notes
|
||
|
||
- Body is loaded as context by AI agents — prioritize actionable patterns
|
||
- Reference files provide depth; SKILL.md provides the "what to do"
|
||
- Risk formulas verified against real symbol specs (XAUUSD, USDJPY)
|
||
via `scripts/verify_sl_tp_formulas.py`
|
||
- Version 0.1: initial content, will expand as extraction completes
