NHS Trendline Matrix v1.00 NHS Trendline Matrix v1.00
An automated trendline system. It continuously fits statistical trendlines through recent swing points, scores them for quality, and trades breakouts and bounces with volatility-based stops and targets that adapt to calm vs volatile conditions.
How it trades
- Line detection: trendlines are fitted across recent price history and filtered by touch quality, slope, goodness-of-fit and candle-shape checks. The best support/resistance lines are drawn on your chart.
- Market regime: trend strength, volatility ranking and volume ranking classify each symbol as trending, ranging or volatile, shaping which entries and targets apply.
- Entries: trendline breakouts and bounces (plus range bounces), each requiring a minimum quality score, minimum reward-to-risk, spread check and cooldown between trades.
- Advanced entries (optional, off by default): breakout-retest entries, false-breakout fades and parallel-channel continuation — enable only after forward-testing, as they change behaviour significantly.
- Exits: volatility-scaled stops (capped at 1.2x high-ATR percentile), profit targets and trailing stops (wider in volatile markets, tighter in calm ones), break-even, staged partial profits (TP1 at 1.5R closes 60%), structure-break exits and an optional maximum holding time.
- Sizing: 2% risk per trade with optional performance-adaptive sizing that gently scales up line types that have been working and down those that have not.
- Portfolio tools: optional per-symbol setting profiles, correlation-aware sizing across pairs, portfolio-wide risk cap and volatility shutdown, plus daily loss, equity-lock and global-halt guards.
Settings (defaults ready to run)
- Setup: trades USDJPY on the chart timeframe (H1). One trade per symbol at a time, max 6 portfolio-wide.
- Quality: wide-open quality gates by default — tighten the confluence score and reward:risk minimums for fewer, pickier trades.
- Exits: adaptive volatility stops/targets/trails, break-even on, partial profits on, structure exit on.
- Safety: 5% daily loss limit, equity locks, 30% global halt, weekly/daily session windows and news blackout available (news on by default).
- Advanced: retest, fade and channel modules off; adaptive sizing off; portfolio engine passive unless configured.
- Display: trendline drawing and on-chart status panel on (each can be hidden separately).
On-chart display
Support/resistance lines with touch and break markers are drawn and maintained live, plus a read-only status panel (dark steel theme) with a guard-state banner, one row per symbol (regime, bias arrow, trend strength, volatility, best lines, position and profit/loss) and a risk footer. Display only — no buttons. It can share a chart with other instances; each copy draws only its own objects.
Getting started
- Copy the.mq5 file into MetaTrader 5 (File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Experts) and compile it.
- Drag it onto the chart matching your intended timeframe (it follows the chart by default) and tick Allow Algo Trading.
- Edit the symbol list if your broker uses a different suffix than the default, and make sure enough chart history is loaded.
- Give each copy its own trade ID number in the settings if you run multiple instances.
Good to know
- Why no trades for days? — quality score, reward:risk, spread, session, news, cooldown and portfolio gates all stack. The log names the exact blocker.
- What do the extra entry toggles do? — retest, fade and channel entries add new trade types on top of base breakouts/bounces. Off by default; forward-test before combining.
- Why did a position close quickly? — structure-break exit, holding-time limit, break-even, trail or a portfolio cap can all exit early by design.
- It only touches its own trades (tracked by its trade ID). Manual trades and other EAs are never modified or closed. A FIFO mode is included for US accounts.
- Pattern strategies are regime-dependent and drawdowns near 20% are normal for this setup — halve the risk if that is uncomfortable. Start on a demo account and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
Requirements
MetaTrader 5 hedging account with sufficient chart history. No extra files (setting profiles optional), libraries or subscriptions needed.
