ProTrade Ichimoku Cloud EA Description
The ProTrade Ichimoku Cloud EA is an automated trading tool designed to trade high-probability breakouts from the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo cloud, confirmed by Tenkan/Kijun crosses and optional multi-timeframe trend filtering. It helps traders align with momentum shifts while maintaining disciplined risk management.
Strategy Overview
This EA combines classic Ichimoku signals with modern execution safeguards. It identifies when price breaks above or below the cloud (Kumo) with confirmation from the Tenkan-sen crossing the Kijun-sen. Optional Chikou Span filtering and higher-timeframe trend alignment further refine entry quality. Trades execute with configurable stop loss and take profit levels, with optional trailing stop management.

How It Works
- On each tick, the EA reads current Ichimoku values (Tenkan, Kijun, Span A/B) from the indicator buffer.
- It checks for cloud breakout conditions and optional Tenkan/Kijun cross confirmation.
- If enabled, the MTF trend filter validates that the trade direction aligns with the higher-timeframe moving average.
- When all conditions are met, the EA calculates SL/TP using either fixed pip values or dynamic cloud-based logic.
- Position size is determined via margin-aware calculation that respects account balance, risk percentage, and broker requirements.
- Optional trailing stop management adjusts stop loss levels as trades move into profit.
- The dashboard updates in real time to reflect current market structure and account status.
Recommended Usage
- Best suited for liquid forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY) and major indices during active sessions.
- Use on H1 or H4 timeframes for optimal Ichimoku signal reliability and noise reduction.
- Test thoroughly in the Strategy Tester with your broker's spread and execution conditions before live deployment.
- For conservative trading, enable both cloud breakout and TK cross confirmation with MTF filtering.
- Adjust FixedStopLossPips based on the average volatility of your chosen instrument.
