❓ FAQ

How do BuyOnPullback and SellOnPullback work?

First a candle must close on the opposite side of the trendline. If a later candle returns and touches the line, the EA executes the order.

Buy on Pullback

Sell on Pullback


How do BuyOnFalseBreakout and SellOnFalseBreakout work?

These actions trigger when price breaks through the trendline and then reverses back, forming a false breakout.

Minimum distance filters weak breakouts.

If set to 100 points, but price only moves 50 points before returning, no trade will be opened.



What is the difference between the types of breakouts?

  • On close of candle: order opens only after the candle closes beyond the trendline.
  • On distance in pips: order opens as soon as price exceeds the trendline by the defined number of pips.
