1. Method Overview
Random Trader EA is an automated trading system for MetaTrader 5 that initiates trades with a randomly chosen buy or sell direction. Despite the random entry, the EA incorporates robust risk management, dynamic position sizing, and sophisticated exit strategies. This unique approach serves as a valuable tool for research, portfolio diversification, and as a foundational template for developing and evaluating risk management techniques within algorithmic trading.

- Advanced Risk Management: Calculates position size based on user-defined risk percentage and stop loss distance, with an option for maximum margin utilization.
- Flexible Stop Loss: Offers a choice between dynamic ATR-based or fixed pip-based stop loss calculation.
- Take Profit & Reward/Risk: Sets take profit as a multiple of the stop loss, based on the specified reward/risk ratio.
- Trailing Stop Options: Includes breakeven and step-wise trailing stop functionalities, with an optional partial close at each step.
- Time & Spread Filters: Allows restriction of trading to specific hours and avoidance of trading during high-spread conditions.
- Weekend Protection: Provides an option to automatically close all positions before the weekend to mitigate gap risk.
