Multi-Timeframe Confluence Trading System
MTF_CONFLUENCE_PRO is an automated trading system designed for short-term trading across Gold, Stock Indices, and Forex markets.
The EA applies a multi-timeframe confluence approach, evaluating market conditions across three user-defined timeframes before identifying potential trading opportunities. Instead of relying on a single timeframe, it seeks alignment between multiple layers of market information to help filter trading signals and improve entry selection.
Key Features
-
Multi-Timeframe Confluence: Evaluates market conditions across three independent timeframes to identify stronger alignment before entering a trade.
-
Multi-Market Compatibility: Designed for Gold, major stock indices, and Forex currency pairs.
-
Flexible Timeframe Configuration: Users can select the first, second, and third timeframes according to the characteristics of each trading instrument.
-
Backtest and Optimization Friendly: All important trading parameters are configurable, allowing users to backtest different settings and identify suitable parameter combinations for individual symbols.
-
Flexible Risk and Exit Management: Includes Stop Loss control, Take Profit multiplier, trailing stop options, and daily profit target.
-
Trading Session Control: Allows users to define trading hours based on broker server time.
-
Spread Protection: Supports maximum spread filtering to avoid trading under unfavorable spread conditions.
Built for Instrument-Specific Optimization
Different instruments have different volatility characteristics, trading sessions, and price behaviors. A parameter combination that works well on Gold may not be suitable for a stock index or a Forex pair.
MTF_CONFLUENCE_PRO gives users the flexibility to test and optimize settings individually for each symbol.
You can experiment with different timeframe combinations, SAR Ratio, TP Multiplier, and risk management settings to find a configuration that better matches the instrument and your preferred trading style.
Recommended Workflow
-
Select the trading instrument you want to evaluate.
-
Choose three appropriate timeframes.
-
Run historical backtests using different parameter combinations.
-
Compare performance, drawdown, trade frequency, and stability.
-
Select and forward-test the configuration that best fits the instrument.
Important: Backtest results are historical and do not guarantee future performance. Always evaluate drawdown, market conditions, trading costs, and out-of-sample performance before using the EA on a live account.
Trading Philosophy
MTF_CONFLUENCE_PRO is built around one principle:
Wait for multi-timeframe alignment. Trade with a structured approach. Optimize according to the instrument.
This guide explains the available EA settings and how to configure them.
A. Main Settings
1st Timeframe
The primary timeframe used in the multi-timeframe confluence process.
2nd Timeframe
The second timeframe used to evaluate market alignment with the primary timeframe.
3rd Timeframe
The third and more detailed timeframe used in the confluence process.
Users can select different timeframe combinations depending on the trading instrument and their optimization results.
Example default configuration:
-
1st Timeframe: D1
-
2nd Timeframe: H4
-
3rd Timeframe: H1
Allow SL
-
true: Enables Stop Loss protection.
-
false: Disables Stop Loss.
SAR Ratio
Controls the sensitivity of the EA's trading configuration through the SAR Ratio parameter.
A different value may produce different trading behavior. Users should test this parameter across different symbols rather than assuming one value is suitable for every market.
TP Multiplier
Sets the Take Profit multiplier.
A higher or lower value changes the profit target according to the EA's internal calculation.
B. Trading Settings
Allow Trade
-
true: Enables trading operations.
-
false: Disables new trading operations.
Lot Size
Defines the initial trading volume.
Adjust the lot size according to account balance, symbol contract specifications, and acceptable risk.
Max Spread (0 = Unlimited)
Sets the maximum spread allowed for opening trades.
-
0: No maximum spread restriction.
-
A positive value: The EA will apply the specified spread limit.
Show Panel
-
true: Displays the EA information panel on the chart.
-
false: Hides the information panel.
C. Exit Settings
Trailing Stop Points (-1 = Off, 0 = ATR / 2)
Controls the trailing stop behavior.
-
-1: Disables trailing stop.
-
0: Uses the automatic ATR-based trailing distance (ATR / 2).
-
Positive value: Uses the specified trailing distance in points.
Close By Profit (0 = Not Applicable)
Sets a profit threshold for closing the position or trading cycle according to the EA's exit logic.
-
0: Disables this option.
-
Positive value: Activates the specified profit threshold.
Daily Profit Target (0 = Not Applicable)
Defines the daily profit target.
-
0: Disables the daily profit target.
-
Positive value: Activates the target. Once reached, the EA applies its daily profit-target logic.
D. Trading Time
All trading time settings use broker server time, not your computer's local time.
Entry Start Hour (Server Time)
Defines the hour when the EA is allowed to start opening trades.
Entry Start Minute
Defines the starting minute.
Entry End Hour (Server Time)
Defines the hour when the EA stops opening new trades.
Entry End Minute
Defines the ending minute.
Example:
-
Start: 01:00
-
End: 22:00
The EA is allowed to open trades during the configured time window.
E. Suggested Optimization Procedure
For each trading instrument:
-
Start with the default timeframe combination.
-
Test alternative timeframe combinations.
-
Optimize SAR Ratio and TP Multiplier.
-
Evaluate different exit and trading-session settings.
-
Compare Profit Factor, Recovery Factor, maximum drawdown, net profit, and trade frequency.
-
Validate the selected configuration using a separate testing period or forward testing.
Recommendation: Do not select a configuration based on net profit alone. A robust configuration should also demonstrate acceptable drawdown and consistent behavior across different market conditions.
Risk Warning: Automated trading involves financial risk. Historical backtest performance does not guarantee future results. Use appropriate position sizing and test thoroughly before deploying the EA on a live account.
