Core mechanic: OCO straddle scalping

Every time the EA is idle and ready to trade, it places two pending orders simultaneously:

A Buy Stop at InpDistancePoints above current price
A Sell Stop at InpDistancePoints below current price

Whichever direction price breaks first triggers into a live position — and the moment that happens, the EA automatically deletes the untouched sibling order (that's the OCO — One Cancels Other). This is a breakout-style scalp: it doesn't predict direction, it just catches whichever way price moves first out of a tight range.

If neither order triggers within InpPendingExpiryMin, both expire and the EA re-arms a fresh straddle at current price.

Optional RSI gate (currently off)

When InpUseRSI = true, the straddle only arms on the side RSI supports: Buy Stop only placed if RSI ≤ oversold, Sell Stop only if RSI ≥ overbought. You've got it off right now, so it straddles unconditionally on every setup.

Grid & martingale recovery

Once a position is open and price moves against it by InpGridStepPoints, the EA adds another order in the same direction, sized at InpLots × InpLotMultiplier, up to InpMaxGridLevels deep.
This averages the entry price down (or up) — classic recovery-style scalping, higher risk in exchange for higher win-rate on the basket.

Basket & daily risk controls
Basket TP/SL: watches the combined floating P/L of the whole current sequence (initial trade + any grid adds) and closes everything the moment it hits InpBasketTPMoney or InpBasketSLMoney.

Daily TP/SL: tracks equity change since midnight server time; hitting InpDailyTPMoney or InpDailySLMoney closes all trades/pendings and locks trading for the rest of the day — a hard circuit breaker independent of the basket logic.

Filters (gate whether a new straddle is even allowed to arm)

Spread filter: blocks arming if current spread exceeds InpMaxSpreadPoints

Slippage cap: InpSlippagePoints limits execution deviation on every order

Trading hours: restricts to InpStartHour–InpEndHour (broker time)

Sessions: optional Asian/London/New York hour windows, independent of the general trading-hours window
News filter: uses MT5's inbuilt economic calendar.
