This is a Swing Trading EA designed to run on the H4 (4-Hour) timeframe. Trades may stay open for several days while the market moves toward the Take Profit or Stop Loss — that is completely normal for a swing system.
fully automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that identifies high-probability entry zones by combining two independent layers of market structure confirmation before placing any trade. Every single trade is protected with a hard Stop Loss calculated dynamically from market volatility. There is no martingale, no grid, no averaging, and no hedging of any kind.
The EA trades one position at a time per symbol. It does not open new trades while a position is already active. Risk is precisely controlled per trade, making the EA suitable for accounts of any size.
How It Works — General Overview
The EA analyzes the current chart to detect two types of structural zones:
1. Support and Resistance Levels — Historical price areas where the market has shown repeated reaction. These are automatically detected and clustered from recent price action. Only levels with enough historical confirmation are considered valid.
2. Trendlines — Diagonal structural lines connecting swing highs or swing lows. The EA detects these automatically from recent pivots and uses them as a second layer of confirmation for any potential entry.
A trade signal is only generated when both layers confirm simultaneously — a breakout of a Support/Resistance level that also aligns with a trendline break. This double confirmation requirement significantly reduces low-quality signals.
An optional EMA trend filter adds a third layer by ensuring trades are taken only in the direction of the dominant trend on the current timeframe.
Once a trade is open, an optional Breakeven system automatically moves the Stop Loss to protect profits once the trade reaches a defined profit threshold. Partial close at breakeven is also available.
