Overview
TrendPilot EA is a fully automated trend-following system designed for MetaTrader 4 (MT4). 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 configured for Cent-type trading accounts and adjusts position sizing accordingly.
- Configurable Stop Loss / Take Profit — optional SL/TP levels with automatic spread compensation, helping maintain the intended risk distance as spreads change.
- Locked execution timeframe — trading logic always runs on a fixed internal timeframe regardless of the chart timeframe the EA is attached to, providing consistent behavior.
- Clean, discreet operation — no indicators, lines, or objects are drawn on the chart, and trade history is kept free of descriptive labels.
- MT4 optimized execution — built specifically for the MetaTrader 4 trading environment and its order-execution framework.

As with any backtest, these results reflect historical market conditions and the specific symbol, broker, spread, and execution environment used during testing. They do not guarantee future performance.
Recommended Use
- Best suited to trending and liquid instruments, with Gold/XAUUSD used for the example backtest.
- Always validate the EA on a demo MT4 account first using your own broker's spread and execution conditions before considering live trading.
- Review and adjust position-sizing settings according to your account size and individual risk tolerance.
- For uninterrupted automated operation, an always-on computer or VPS is recommended.
Risk Disclaimer
Past performance, including backtested results, does not guarantee future results. Automated trading involves a substantial risk of loss. Spread, slippage, execution speed, broker conditions, and market volatility can cause live results to differ significantly from backtest results. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
Requirements
- MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
- A trading symbol with sufficient historical price data on the EA's operating timeframe
