Price Action Atlas

Price Action Atlas

Price Action Atlas is an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that combines a rule-based price action strategy with an interactive on-chart dashboard. It evaluates confirmed market structure, breakout closes, retests and directional candle patterns on the attached chart symbol.

Trading logic

The default configuration uses H1 structure and M15 signals. The strategy looks for a breakout of a confirmed swing level, a subsequent retest and a pin bar or engulfing confirmation. Decisions use closed candles. Stop loss is based on the setup structure with an ATR buffer, and take profit uses a configurable reward-to-risk ratio. The default ratio is 2:1; this is a target, not a promised result.

Dashboard

The dashboard shows the setup stage, entry restrictions, account equity, equity risk measures and the EA's position information. Obsidian Cyber and Midnight Gold themes include optional glow, hover and event effects. A compact layout is available for smaller charts.

Account equity measures are separated from closed-trade statistics for the selected symbol and magic number. The panel provides entry, stop-loss and take-profit information, a cumulative closed profit/loss chart and controls for pausing new entries, displaying setups and closing EA-managed positions.

Position sizing and controls

• Position sizing based on account equity and stop-loss distance.
• Spread, margin, broker volume and stop-distance checks.
• Daily entry limits, cooldown and consecutive-loss controls.
• Account equity loss and drawdown guards for new entries.
• Optional break-even and confirmed-swing trailing.
• No martingale or grid position sizing.

Setup and operation

Attach one instance to the instrument chart and enable algorithmic trading. Configure signal and structure timeframes, risk, spread limits and position-management settings for the broker and instrument. Use distinct magic numbers when running independent instances. No DLL or external licensing service is required.

The supplied baseline is not optimized for every instrument. Minimum volume, spread, stop-distance and margin requirements can cause signals to be skipped. Test with your broker's historical data and evaluate operation on a demo account before considering live use.

Testing and limitations

Historical testing does not establish future profitability. The available baseline tests for 1 September to 10 October 2026, with a starting balance of USD 10,000 per test, returned USD -67.34 across 4 EURUSD trades and USD -193.65 across 8 XAUUSD trades. These are historical simulation results, not live results. Any selected winning-trade examples do not represent the full test period. Data availability and tick modeling vary by test.

Risk sizing and equity limits do not guarantee a maximum loss. Gaps, slippage, spread changes and execution differences can increase losses. Trading involves risk, and no profit is guaranteed.
