TrendPilot EA
Automated Trend-Following Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5
Overview
TrendPilot EA is a fully automated trend-following system for MT5. It continuously monitors the market's directional trend and trades in the direction of that trend, aiming to capture sustained price moves while staying out of the market when no clear trend is present. The EA runs unattended on a fixed internal timeframe and handles trade entry, exit, and position sizing automatically — no manual monitoring required.
Key Features
- Automated trend detection — identifies the prevailing market trend and reacts as it develops.
- Dynamic, risk-based position sizing — lot size is calculated automatically from your account balance and a configurable dollar-risk target, so exposure scales consistently with your account rather than using a fixed lot value.
- Cent-account compatible — automatically detects (or can be manually set for) Cent-type trading accounts and adjusts position sizing accordingly.
- Configurable Stop Loss / Take Profit — optional SL/TP levels with automatic spread compensation, keeping your intended risk distance consistent even as spreads move.
- Locked execution timeframe — trading logic always runs on a fixed internal timeframe regardless of the chart timeframe the EA is attached to, for consistent behavior.
- Clean, discreet operation — no indicators, lines, or objects are drawn on the chart, and trade history is kept free of descriptive labels.

Reading the numbers: the strategy wins a minority of its trades (~35%), but average winning trades are considerably larger than average losing trades, which is what drives the overall profit factor of 4.74 over the tested period. As with any backtest, results reflect historical market conditions and the specific symbol/broker/spread environment tested — they are not a guarantee of future performance.
Recommended Use
- Best suited to trending, liquid instruments (tested here on Gold/XAUUSD).
- Always validate on a demo account first with your own broker's spread and execution conditions before going live.
- Position sizing settings should be reviewed and adjusted to match your own account size and risk tolerance.
Risk Disclaimer
Past performance, including backtested results, does not guarantee future results. Automated trading carries risk of loss. Spread, slippage, and broker execution conditions can all cause live results to differ from backtests. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
Requirements
- MetaTrader 5
- A symbol with sufficient historical price data on the EA's operating timeframe
- Recommended: VPS or an always-on connection for uninterrupted operation
