Atrion Skyline Trading EA

Atrion Skyline Trading EA

Overview

An automated trading system (Expert Advisor) for MetaTrader 5.
It combines a moving average (MA) based entry condition with a trailing stop mechanism derived from the Average True Range (ATR).
The EA is intended as an example of how a moving average signal can be combined with a volatility-based stop management method.

Operation Logic

Entry Signal (Moving Average):

• A configurable Moving Average is used as the entry condition.

• Buy and Sell decisions are based on the direction of the MA and the applied price.

• Parameters such as period, method (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA), and applied price (close, open, median, etc.) are adjustable.

Trade Management:

• The EA does not include advanced position sizing models.

• Trades are opened with a fixed lot size determined by the broker or the user.

ATR Trailing Stop:

• Stop Loss is updated dynamically according to market volatility.

• The trailing distance is calculated as ATR × Multiplier.

• For Buy positions, SL is placed below the current Bid.

• For Sell positions, SL is placed above the current Ask.

• The Stop Loss is modified only if the new level is more favorable than the previous one.

Signals

• Buy: When the MA condition points upward.

• Sell: When the MA condition points downward.

• Trailing Stop:

  • Buy → SL = Current Bid − ATR × Multiplier

  • Sell → SL = Current Ask + ATR × Multiplier

Application

• Markets: Can be applied to forex, commodities, indices, or crypto instruments.

• Timeframes: Works on any timeframe.

• Style: The EA uses a trend-following entry combined with volatility-based stop management.
