Bahati Trend

BAHATI TREND - two-engine trend-following Expert Advisor

No martingale. No grid. No averaging down. Every trade has a stop-loss from the first tick.

BAHATI TREND trades one idea, done carefully: trade only in the direction of a strong trend, and let winners run. It does not try to predict news or candle patterns. When a market starts trending - after central-bank decisions, political news or big money flows - the EA joins the move and follows it with a trailing stop. When a move fails, the stop keeps the loss small.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Trend filter (H4). A long trade needs BOTH: price above EMA50, EMA50 above EMA200 and rising, AND bullish market structure (the last swing break was up). Shorts are the mirror image. If they disagree, the EA stands aside.

2. Two independent entry engines (H1), each with its own position and magic number:
- Engine A - Pullback: price dips to the H1 EMA50 and the bar closes back on the trend side.
- Engine B - Breakout: close through the highest high / lowest low of the last 20 bars. Half of the position is banked at +1R.
The engines fire at different moments, which smooths the equity curve.

3. Exit: initial stop beyond the last 3 bars (0.8 to 3 ATR). Once the trade is +0.5R in profit an ATR trailing stop follows price and only moves in your favour. No fixed target - a trend can run for days.

RISK MANAGEMENT (all on by default)
- Fixed risk per trade: 0.25% per engine, lot size calculated from the stop distance
- Daily loss limit 3% - no new trades until the next day
- Risk halved while the account is more than 6% below its peak
- Account halt at -15% from peak: closes all positions and waits for you
- High-impact news filter (MT5 economic calendar, live trading)
- Spread, rollover-hour and trading-session checks
- Broker minimum lot, lot step and free margin always checked: if the smallest lot would risk far more than you asked, the trade is skipped instead of forced

WHAT TO EXPECT (research on XAUUSD, US500, USTEC, US30, mid-2022 to late 2026)
- About 2 trades per week per market
- Win rate about 42-50%: many small losses and small wins, a minority of trend trades that make 2R to 20R
- Losing streaks of 8-12 trades on one market are normal; judge the EA by months, not by days
- It struggles in long sideways markets and sharp reversals

RECOMMENDED SETUP
- Symbols: XAUUSD, US500, USTEC, US30. One H1 chart per symbol; the EA runs both engines itself.
- Use the same Magic number on all charts (Engine B uses Magic+1 automatically).
- Account: hedging recommended (netting supported: one position per symbol).
- VPS or a computer running 24/5.
- Small accounts: use a cent account. On a standard account the smallest gold position (0.01 lot) loses about $10 at a typical stop - 10% of a $100 account - so the EA correctly refuses to trade. Suggested minimum: $2,000 standard, or $100 on a cent account.
- Cautious start: set Risk per trade to 0.15.

MAIN INPUTS
- Risk per trade, each engine (%): default 0.25
- Enable the pullback engine / Enable the breakout engine: default true / true
- Trailing distance (x ATR) / Start trailing once +N R: default 2.0 / 0.5
- Breakout engine partial take-profit at +N R / size %: default 1.0 / 50
- Trade direction: Long and short / Long only / Short only
- Account daily loss limit % / Halt at account drawdown %: default 3 / 15
- Hard lot cap per trade: default 5 (raise it on large accounts trading US500)
- High-impact news filter, minutes before / after: default on, 30 / 30

IMPORTANT
Trend following has long flat or losing stretches. If you cannot sit through ten losing trades in a row, use a smaller risk or do not use this EA. Never trade money you cannot afford to lose. Forward-test on a demo account first.
