VectorTrend
VectorTrend is a multi-timeframe trend-following Expert Advisor designed for forex markets. It combines higher-timeframe trend direction with lower-timeframe pullback entries, using EMA structure, ADX confirmation, Fibonacci-style pullback zones, support/resistance proximity, and an ATR-blended grid approach for position scaling.
The EA waits for trend alignment first, then looks for controlled pullback opportunities rather than chasing every move. Positions are managed as a basket, with account-currency profit targets, trailing profit protection, emergency drawdown protection, trading-session filters, weekday filters, spread protection, and optional magic-number pause control for multi-EA accounts.

FIFO and US Broker Notice
VectorTrend manages positions as a basket and may hold multiple positions in the same direction on the same symbol. This is incompatible with the FIFO (First In, First Out) rule enforced by US-regulated brokers (NFA/CFTC). US traders should verify broker compatibility before use.
Recommended Use
VectorTrend is intended for forex pairs with clean directional movement and reasonable spreads. It was developed and tested primarily on CADCHF. For best results, test the EA on your broker's data before live use. Spreads, swaps, execution speed, leverage, and symbol specifications can significantly affect performance.
Risk Notice
VectorTrend uses basket and grid-style position management. While the EA includes multiple risk controls, grid strategies can experience increased drawdown during extended adverse market movement. Always use appropriate lot sizing, test thoroughly, and avoid over-leveraging. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
