- Versão: 1.2
Market Structure EA is a free, fully automated trading robot designed to identify and trade based on classic price action principles. It avoids complex indicators and instead focuses on the core of price movement: Market Structure.
The strategy works by analyzing a specific number of past candles (Lookback Period) to detect Higher Highs (HH) and Lower Lows (LL). By identifying these structural pivot points, the EA determines the current trend direction and executes trades to align with the market momentum.
Key Features
- Price Action Logic: Trades based on pure market structure (Highs and Lows) rather than lagging indicators.
- Simple Configuration: Easy to set up with a focus on the "Lookback Period" to tune sensitivity.
- Optimized Pairs: The logic has been tuned for major currency pairs.
Strategy Logic
The EA scans the chart to find the highest high and lowest low within the user-defined Lookback Period:
- Buy Signal: Generated when the market structure confirms a bullish sequence (breaking structure to the upside).
- Sell Signal: Generated when the market structure confirms a bearish sequence (breaking structure to the downside).
