AVWAP Machine Gun

AVWAP Machine Gun is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades trend and breakout moves with a grid of simultaneous positions. When its entry conditions are met on a closed bar, it opens a batch of trades at once, from a single position up to twenty, and then manages that batch with a trailing stop and optional partial closing.

How it works

The entry decision combines three checks. All of them are evaluated when a bar closes, so a signal that has been confirmed does not change afterwards.

1. Crossover trigger

The EA watches a fast exponential moving average against an anchored VWAP line. The anchored VWAP restarts every day at a time you choose, for example the daily open or a session open such as London or New York. A cross between the two lines is the basic trigger for a buy or a sell.

2. Volume filter

A volume momentum delta calculation looks at candle body and wick shape together with volume. A trade is only allowed when this reading is stronger than its own moving average, which is meant to screen out crossovers that come without participation.

3. Money Flow Index filter

Buys need the MFI to sit in a middle-to-upper band and be rising. Sells need it in a middle-to-lower band and be falling. The idea is to avoid entering when the indicator is already stretched.

Trade management

• Multiple entries: you choose how many positions are opened per signal, from 1 to 20.
• Step-reduction trailing stop: the trail activates after an initial profit distance and tightens in stages as the move extends.
• Partial take-profit: each position can be reduced by half once it reaches a set fraction of its target. The position must be larger than your broker's minimum lot for this to work.
• Margin shield: if the requested batch would use more than about half of free equity as initial margin, the lot size of each trade in the batch is reduced.
• Close-all button: a button on the chart closes all positions that carry this EA's magic number.

Markets and timeframes

The product description describes the logic as suitable for different asset classes and aimed at intraday use, but it gives no fixed list of symbols or timeframes. Treat any choice as something to verify. Test on the instrument, timeframe and broker data you intend to use, and check how the spread filter behaves on that symbol.

Settings

The exact default values are not listed here, so read them in the input tab after loading the EA. The main groups of inputs are:

Risk

Opening several trades in the same direction at once concentrates exposure. A reversal can hit every position in the batch together, so choose the trade count, lot size and daily loss limit with your account size in mind. Prop firm users should compare the settings with the firm's drawdown rules before running it.

Installation

1. In MT5, open File, then Open Data Folder.
2. Copy the expert advisor file into MQL5/Experts.
3. Restart MT5 or refresh the Navigator panel.
4. Drag the EA onto a chart of your chosen symbol and timeframe.
5. Enable Algo Trading and allow automated trading in the EA's properties.
6. Review the inputs, in particular trade count, lot size and the daily loss limit, before running it.

For continuous operation, many users run MT5 on a VPS so the terminal stays connected.
