SophieSMC X — MT5 trade executor
Hands that follow the plan.
SophieSMC X is an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that executes and manages the trade plans approved by the Scanner. Market entries with SL/TP, 50% partials, ATR-trailing runners, and guardrails against overtrading — conservative by default, never improvising.
X requires the Scanner — it follows the plan, it never invents one.
X generates no signals of its own. Without the Scanner's published trade plan on the chart, it will not open new positions. This is a deliberate design choice, not a limitation.

Execution
What X does with an approved plan
The plan comes from the Scanner. X's job is to carry it out faithfully — and to refuse when the conditions aren't right.
Only the Scanner's plan, nothing else
X reads the trade plan the Scanner publishes on the chart — direction, entry, SL, TP, RR — and executes market orders exactly as approved. It cannot generate signals, cannot trade without the Scanner on the chart, and without a final plan it only manages positions.
Market entries with SL/TP attached
BUY/SELL orders go out with stop loss and take profit attached on the ticket — broker-side from the first second. Modifications are throttled, and the stop loss is never moved backwards.
Lot from the panel's suggestion, seatbelted
Position size follows the Scanner panel's lot suggestion — then a 1% risk-cap seatbelt auto-shrinks any lot that would risk more than 1% per trade before the order goes out. If the suggestion is missing, auto-entry waits.
Entry validation before every order
Spread cap, entry-band and drift limits, a live-fill RR recheck, and a minimum 1.0R filter. Anti-duplicate spacing, one position maximum, no same-plan re-entry, and a 60-minute cooldown after a close.
News blackout entry veto
X reads the economic calendar and vetoes new entries ±30 minutes around scheduled high-impact US news. It never force-closes a trade — it just refuses to start one into the storm.
Monthly equity circuit breaker
If equity falls 10% below the month's high-water mark, X blocks new entries for the rest of the month. The all-time-peak death trap, killed by a circuit breaker.
Regime-aware execution
X reads the market regime from the Scanner's bridge: it sits out parabolic stretches entirely and halves position size in chop.
Magic-scoped management
X manages only its own positions — never touches other EAs' trades on the account. Run it alongside your other bots without interference.
Management
Once you're in the trade
Management is mechanical — defined before entry, applied without hesitation.
50% partial with an ATR-trailing runner
Half the position closes at take profit; the runner is kept and trailed with an ATR-based trailing stop. Aggressive automation off by default, conservative by design.
Breakeven and trailing — off by default
Auto breakeven and coach-driven breakeven are disabled unless you turn them on. Nothing about your risk profile changes without your say-so.
Manual-trade protection
X can also guard trades you place yourself: hard stop-loss auto-protection for manual trades missing a stop, a virtual take-profit trigger, and max-profit trailing.
Journal export
Every trade is written to the executor's journal CSV — time, direction, status, entry, SL, TP, RR, profit, comment — the file Sophie Journal reads for review.
Complete the loop — the Memory.
X executes and manages the plan. The Sophie Journal keeps the record: every trade reviewed in one place, automatic trade recording via X Journal Sync (rolling out), the intelligent calendar with pace-to-goal and overtrading flags, coaching notes — plus Sophie Coach, the weekly news magazine for the week ahead.

What X is not
Four things to understand before you trust an EA with real money.
Requires the Scanner
X is not a standalone system. No Scanner plan on the chart, no new entries.
Requires your MT5 running
X is an Expert Advisor that needs MT5 open with Algo Trading enabled. If your computer sleeps, so does it.
Not a profit system
It executes plans with discipline. It cannot turn a losing idea into a winning one, and automation does not remove trading risk.
Your risk, your call
Lot sizing follows the panel suggestion with a 1% risk-cap seatbelt — X sizes trades mechanically, not on your behalf. Stay within size you can afford to lose.
Trading involves substantial risk.
