Pulse Pullback — Trend Following EA
Enter trends at optimal pullback levels — automatically, every time
Trading with the trend is one of the most reliable approaches in financial markets. The challenge is identifying when a pullback is actually a continuation opportunity rather than a reversal. Pulse Pullback EA handles this for you by combining two EMAs — one to set the trend direction and one to mark the pullback entry zone. When price touches the faster EMA while the slower EMA confirms the overall direction, the EA enters. It then manages the position with your choice of exit methods, from simple fixed targets to trailing stops or breakeven protection.
Advantages
- No need to watch charts — The EA handles entry detection, position management, and exit, so you do not have to monitor screens throughout the day.
- Choose your exit style — Fixed targets for simplicity, trailing stops to lock in profits, or breakeven for risk-free trades — pick what suits your trading style.
- Works on any timeframe — The pullback-to-EMA logic adapts to intraday and swing trading timeframes without changing parameters.
- Common-sense safety — Spread checks, margin validation, and sideways market detection keep you out of unfavorable conditions automatically.
Features
- Dual EMA trend system — 200-period EMA sets the bias, 50-period EMA marks the pullback entry zone. Only trades in the direction of the larger trend.
- Candle close confirmation — Entry triggers only after the candle closes at the pullback level, filtering out false touches and intraday noise.
- Sideways market filter — Automatically skips trades when the two EMAs are too close together, avoiding choppy ranging conditions.
- Flexible lot sizing — Choose between a fixed lot size or let the EA calculate position size based on a percentage of your account balance.
- Three exit modes — Fixed SL/TP for straightforward rules, trailing stop that follows price as it moves in your favor, or breakeven stop that locks in a minimum profit.
- Hedging and netting compatible — Works on both account types without any configuration changes.
How to Get Started
1. Attach Pulse Pullback EA to any chart and timeframe.
2. Configure your preferred exit mode — start with Fixed if you are new to the EA.
3. Set your risk parameters: choose fixed lot or risk percentage.
4. Let the EA handle entry detection and position management automatically.
Usage Tips
- Start with the Fixed exit mode to observe the EA's behavior before switching to Trailing or Breakeven.
- The EA performs best on trending pairs such as GBPUSD, EURUSD, and USDJPY.
- H1 and H4 timeframes produce a good balance of signal frequency and reliability.
- Set the minimum EMA distance to at least 50 points to keep the sideways filter active.
- Keep max spread between 20-30 points to ensure entries during tight market conditions.
- If using Trailing mode, set the activation threshold high enough to account for normal price fluctuations.
