Separating Line Candlestick EA
Overview & Strategy Logic The Separating Line Candlestick EA is an automated continuation trading strategy based on the 2-candle Separating Lines pattern (Bullish & Bearish). This pattern captures instant market rejection against temporary pullbacks, signaling a powerful re-ignition of the primary trend.
A Separating Lines pattern occurs when a counter-trend candle is immediately followed by a trend-continuation candle that opens at the exact same Open price as the previous candle (creating a price gap/jump), then aggressively shoots in the direction of the main trend.

Attention & Risk Notice
-
Do Not Use Default Settings for Live Trading: Default parameters are for initial testing purposes only. Perform thorough backtests and optimization based on your personal risk/reward profile before running on a live account.
-
Pair & Timeframe Considerations: Please adjust the Shift 2 Min Candle Size parameter according to the specific volatility of your traded asset and timeframe (e.g., Gold/XAUUSD or higher timeframes require significantly higher pip thresholds).
-
Open Price Tolerance: In live market conditions, exact matching Open prices are rare due to spreads. Ensure a small tolerance setting (1–3 pips) is implemented during coding for smooth trade execution.
