SteelTrend EA – Professional Trend Trading Expert Advisor for High Volatile Assets.
Introduction
SteelTrend EA is a fully automated MT5 Expert Advisor built on a proprietary trend detection algorithm that identifies high-probability reversal and continuation zones with statistical precision.
Unlike typical EAs that rely on AI, machine learning, or black-box techniques, the SteelTrend EA uses pure price action analysis with a reduced parameter set, which is less prone to overfitting bias.
Different from other EAs seen in the marketplace, the parameter robustness is shown with optimization tests.
The system is designed for serious traders and prop firm accounts, offering transparent logic, fixed risk management, and no dangerous strategies like grid, martingale, or averaging.
The system also includes an unique Portfolio Analyzer (PFA) system:
- PFA Exporter (present in the EA) -> positions opened in backtests can be exported into a CSV file for any setup,
- PFA Merger (separate script) -> positions from multiple CSVs can be merged into one CSV file using the free script 'PFA Merger' (LINK),
- PFA Simulator (separate EA) -> the entire portfolio of SteelTrend EAs (CSV from PFA Merger) can be tested using the free PFA Simulator EA (LINK).
Note: both PFA Merger and PFA Simulator are free from any charge and can be used with any EA containing the PFA Exporter module and provided in this profile.
With this system you will be able to assemble a strong portfolio and check its true strenght using the existing MT5 Strategy Tester.

Strategy Details
Two Trading Modes
The SteelTrend EA operates with two complementary strategies:
- Trend-Based Mode – Enters on established trends, capturing moves with favorable risk/reward ratios.
- Reversal-Based Mode – Identifies exhaustion zones and enters counter-trend positions at statistically significant reversal points.
Both modes use the same proprietary trend detection system to define dynamic support and resistance levels, ensuring entries are always aligned with market structure.
Dual Trailing Stop System
This EA features two advanced trailing stop mechanisms:
- RR-Based Trailing Stop – Locks in profits based on risk/reward milestones (e.g., after 1R, 2R, etc.).
- Market Structure Trailing Stop – Adjusts stop-loss dynamically based on real-time support/resistance shifts, allowing trades to breathe while protecting gains.
You can choose the trailing mode that best fits your trading style.
Advanced Daily Drawdown Manager (DDM)
Includes a Daily Drawdown Manager designed specifically for prop firm compliance and portfolio trading:
- Automatic Daily Reset – Tracks balance and equity from the start of each trading day.
- Real-Time Monitoring – Combines realized P&L (closed positions) + floating P&L (open positions).
- Customizable DD Limit – Set as a multiple of your risk per trade (e.g., 3x risk = max daily DD).
- Portfolio-Ready – Supports multiple EAs with different magic numbers on the same account.
- Isolated Risk Control – Each EA instance has independent DD tracking and limits.
- Auto Position Closure – Automatically closes all positions when daily limit is reached. This feature is essential for prop firm traders who need to protect their accounts from daily drawdown violations while running multiple strategies simultaneously.
Floating PnL Protection
The EA monitors floating profit/loss in real-time and can close all positions when a predefined profit or drawdown threshold is reached. This feature is especially useful for:
- Locking in daily/weekly profit targets.
- Protecting capital during unexpected volatility spikes.
- Complying with prop firm drawdown rules.
Robust Pyramid System
The EA includes an intelligent pyramid module that adds positions during pullbacks within strong trends. Unlike dangerous averaging strategies, this system:
- Respects maximum position limits.
- Maintains overall risk within your defined tolerance.
- This allows you to maximize profits during extended trending moves while keeping risk under control.
Risk Management
Every aspect of the strategy is designed with capital preservation in mind:
- Fixed Stop-Loss on Every Trade – No trade is left unprotected.
- Percentage-Based Lot Sizing – Risk a fixed % of your balance per trade.
- Daily Drawdown Protection – Prevents account violations with intelligent DD management.
- Portfolio Risk Isolation – Each magic number has independent risk tracking.
- No Overtrading – The EA waits for high-quality setups; no forced entries.
- Prop Firm Friendly – Entry randomizer and strict risk controls comply with prop firm rules.
