Confluence Trend EA
- Experts
- Version: 2.0
- Activations: 5
The EA uses a 3-layer confluence system before entering any trade:
1. <b>Trend Filter (EMA Cross)</b> — EMA50 vs EMA200 determines the current trend direction. Buy signals only trigger in uptrends; Sell signals only in downtrends.
2. <b>H4 EMA200 Bias Filter</b> — A higher timeframe filter ensures trades align with the dominant market structure. Long trades require price to be above the H4 EMA200; Short trades require price below it.
3. <b>RSI Momentum Confirmation</b> — RSI(14) must confirm momentum before entry. Buy requires RSI above 55; Sell requires RSI below 40. This prevents entering trades in exhausted or sideways conditions.
All three conditions must align simultaneously — no signal is taken unless full confluence is achieved.
<b>Risk Management</b>
- <b>ATR-Based Stop Loss</b> — Stop loss is dynamically calculated using ATR × 2.5, adapting automatically to current market volatility. No fixed pip stops.
- <b>Fixed Risk Per Trade</b> — Lot size is calculated so each trade risks exactly 1% of account balance (configurable).
- <b>2:1 Reward-to-Risk</b> — Take profit is set at 2× the stop loss distance by default.
- <b>Daily Drawdown Guard</b> — Trading automatically pauses for the rest of the day if daily drawdown exceeds the MaxDailyDD% threshold (default 5%).
- <b>Session Filter</b> — Only trades during high-liquidity sessions (default 07:00–20:00 server time), avoiding low-volume periods.
- <b>Spread Filter</b> — Skips entry if broker spread exceeds the maximum allowed (default 30 points).
