Trend Automation
Stop waiting at your screen for a breakout. The Trend Automation panel allows you to turn standard MetaTrader trendlines into "Smart Triggers" that execute trades automatically upon intersection.
The Three-Step Workflow
- 1. Draw Your Line
Use the standard MT5 Trendline tool (Insert > Objects > Trendline) to draw your support, resistance, or diagonal trendline.
- 2. Link the Trigger
Open the Trend Panel in AstroTrade. Click the "Select Line" button and then click the line you just drew on the chart. The EA will now "watch" this specific object.
- 3. Configure the Action
Decide what happens when price hits the line:
- Buy on Breakout: If price crosses ABOVE the line.
- Sell on Breakout: If price crosses BELOW the line.
- Reverse/Bounce: Execute a trade in the opposite direction of the approach.
Risk Integration
The beauty of the Trend Panel is that it uses your Global Risk Settings. If you defined a 1.0% risk in the Trade Panel, the automated trendline entry will use that exact same calculation, placing its Stop Loss based on your preset parameters.
Warning: Ensure "AutoTrading" is enabled in your MetaTrader 5 terminal for the automation to execute successfully.
