📄 Full Description
Overview
Envelopes Breakout EA is a clean and systematic Expert Advisor built for MetaTrader. It automatically tracks market expansion by utilizing the Envelopes indicator (Moving Averages shifted by a percentage deviation). The strategy identifies strong directional momentum and enters trades as soon as a candle closes beyond the boundary bands.
Trading Logic
-
Buy Signal: Triggered when the previous candle (Candle 1) closes above the Envelopes Upper Band.
-
Sell Signal: Triggered when the previous candle (Candle 1) closes below the Envelopes Lower Band.
-
Exit Logic: Automated position management based on fixed Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) targets in pips.
