Advanced Hedging EA
Advanced Hedging EA is an algorithmic trading system designed for volatile markets such as BTCUSD and XAUUSD. The EA combines breakout and range-based logic, using Stochastic and Bollinger Bands to determine market context and manage trade entries. It also includes hedging and recovery-style position management, together with volatility-aware exit controls and equity protection.

Overview
The strategy is intended for traders who want an automated system that adapts to changing market conditions. When the market is trending, the EA looks for continuation-style entries. When the market is ranging, it shifts toward a more defensive hedging approach. Risk management is built into the system through drawdown limits, trailing logic, and position control.

This bot works. It is hedging so you have to get used to the losses, but they will be overtaken by the bigger wins. Running it for 3 weeks and makes profits on daily basis. I will definitely keep this running on my smaller accounts.
