Core Strategy Logic
The EA operates using a structured multi-layer approach:
1. Setup Detection (Multi-Candle Structure)
The entry logic is based on a 5-candle market structure combined with:
-
ATR volatility filter
-
ADX trend strength confirmation
-
Volume filter
-
Time filters
-
Risk Reward confirmation (Take Profit must be higher than Stop Loss)
Trades are only considered when all the conditions above are true.
2. Precision Entry via Pending Orders
Orders are not executed at market.
The EA places Buy Stop / Sell Stop pending orders on the next candle only if all conditions are validated.
This avoids impulsive entries and ensures breakout confirmation.
3. Fibonacci-Based Protective Stop
Stop Loss is derived from the previous candle using:
-
Median price calculation: (H + L + O + C) / 4
-
Fibonacci 38.2% level
This creates a volatility-adjusted technical stop rather than an arbitrary pip-based stop.
4. Risk/Reward Validation Filter
The system automatically cancels pending orders if:
TP < SL
Only trades with acceptable reward-to-risk structure are allowed.
5. Fixed Percentage Risk Model
Each position risks:
2% of account balance
Lot size is dynamically calculated based on stop distance.
This ensures consistent capital management and natural compounding.
6. Controlled Exposure
-
No Grid
-
No Martingale
-
No Averaging
7. Intraday Time Control
The EA operates only between:
08:00 – 21:00 platform time
Risk management includes:
-
14:00 → Morning pending orders removed
-
15:00 → Open trades closed
-
21:00 → All open trades and pending orders automatically closed
No overnight exposure.
No gap risk.
No rollover exposure.
