Luminar EA V1.0 MT5 — Hybrid Liquidity & Price Action AI


Platform: MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
Primary Instruments: XAU/USD (Gold) + selected major forex pairs
Timeframe: H1 (default; scalable for testing)
Style: Hybrid — Price Action + Adaptive Liquidity + Correlation Scanning


Luminar EA V1.0 is an advanced hybrid Expert Advisor designed for traders who want more than simple indicator triggers. Built for MT5, it fuses price action logic, adaptive liquidity mapping, and multi-level filters, while also monitoring cross-asset correlations to confirm or reject trades. This extra depth helps filter out false setups and trade only when conditions across markets align.


Key Features



  • Price Action Core
    The EA reads market structure, swings, and breakouts to anticipate where momentum is likely to continue.

  • Adaptive Liquidity Analysis
    Identifies liquidity pockets, supply/demand imbalances, and institutional order zones, adapting stops and targets dynamically to market conditions.

  • Multi-Level Filtering
    Trades are only taken if they pass layered checks:

  • Price action confirmation

  • Liquidity validation

  • Trend/volatility filters
    This avoids overtrading in choppy conditions.

  • Correlation Scanning
    Evaluates cross-asset impact:

  • Gold correlated with USD strength/weakness

  • FX majors vs. DXY/indices

  • Metals and indices interplay
    Ensures trades are aligned with macro flows, not just local signals.

  • Instrument Flexibility
    Optimized for XAUUSD H1, but also compatible with EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, and other majors.

  • Scalable Testing
    While H1 is default, traders can test on M30 or H4 to balance frequency vs. confirmation.
