Check out the new article: Automating Trading Strategies in MQL5 (Part 26): Building a Pin Bar Averaging System for Multi-Position Trading.
In this article, we develop a Pin Bar Averaging system in MQL5 that detects pin bar patterns to initiate trades and employs an averaging strategy for multi-position management, enhanced by trailing stops and breakeven adjustments. We incorporate customizable parameters with a dashboard for real-time monitoring of positions and profits.
We’re building an automated trading system that capitalizes on pin bar candlestick patterns, which are single-candle formations characterized by a long wick and a small body, often signaling strong price reversals at key market levels. Pin bar strategies are popular in trading because they identify moments where price rejection occurs, offering high-probability entry points for trades, especially when combined with support and resistance levels. Here is a visualization of some common formations.
Our approach will focus on detecting these pin bars within the current timeframe and utilizing an averaging strategy to open additional positions if the market moves against the initial trade. This aims to improve the overall trade outcome while managing risk through the use of trailing stops and breakeven adjustments. To achieve this, we first will identify pin bars relative to a support or resistance level derived from the previous H4 candle’s close, ensuring trades align with significant market zones.
