Overview
The Oneway TrendPulse EA is an automated trading robot (Expert Advisor) for MetaTrader 5 that implements a BUY-only trend-following strategy. It combines two popular technical indicators—Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI)—to identify and capitalize on upward trending markets.
Core Strategy Logic
Entry Conditions (ALL must be true):
-
Fast EMA > Slow EMA → Confirms bullish trend
-
RSI > Threshold → Confirms momentum strength (not overbought, but showing buying pressure)
-
No existing position on the same symbol with the EA's magic number
When all conditions are met, the EA opens a single BUY position with predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit levels.
Exit Management (Progressive):
The EA uses a three-stage risk management system:
| Stage | Profit Level | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Initial entry | Sets fixed SL & TP |
| 2 | ≥ BreakEvenPips | Moves SL to entry price (breakeven) |
| 3 | ≥ TrailingStartPips | Activates trailing stop with defined distance |
This progressive approach protects profits while allowing trades to run.

How It Works
1. On Each Tick:
-
First: Checks and manages any existing open position (breakeven/trailing)
-
Second: Checks for new entry opportunity
2. Position Management Flow:
Entry → Fixed SL/TP → Profit reaches BreakEvenPips → SL moves to entry → Profit reaches TrailingStartPips → Trailing stop activates → Price continues up → Trailing follows price up → Price retraces → Trailing stop closes position
3. Risk Control:
-
No averaging or martingale
-
No multiple entries on same symbol
-
Protects profits through breakeven and trailing
-
Fixed risk (defined SL from entry)
