Cent Chicky Chick

Cent Chicky Chick 

     Cent Chicky Chick is a trend-following Expert Advisor built around a proprietary directional-bias engine that determines market direction by cross-confirming trend signals across the chart's working timeframe and a higher timeframe simultaneously. The EA only opens positions in the direction the trend engine confirms — there is no manual, counter-trend, or discretionary entry mode. Once positioned, it manages the trade as a basket: if price moves against the entry, the EA adds further orders at a minimum fixed interval that automatically widens further during high real-time ATR volatility. The basket as a whole is protected by a multi-layer exit system — take-profit by price distance or money target, breakeven lock-in, profit-lock trailing, and a full basket trailing stop.

Advantages

• Trend-confirmed entries — dual-timeframe alignment check before any position opens, removing emotional or impulsive entries.
• ATR-based step sizing automatically widens in high-volatility conditions, while a safe fixed floor protects against overly tight grids in calm markets.
• Layered basket risk management — price/money take-profit, breakeven, profit-lock, and trailing stop working together, not just a single exit rule.
• Weekend gap protection — optional Friday close-out routine to reduce exposure to weekend price gaps.
• News-time filter — automatically reads MT5's live Economic Calendar for high-impact events; no manual news schedule to maintain, just set importance level and block window.
• Hard emergency stop — force-closes the entire basket if losses breach a defined ceiling, independent of all other logic (on by default at 50% of balance — adjust to taste in Inputs)
• Dual circuit breakers — an independent margin-level cut (150% by default) runs alongside the equity cut, protecting against forced broker liquidation even when floating loss alone hasn't reached the equity threshold.
• Coexists safely with other EAs — isolated by its own magic number; never touches trades it doesn't own.
• Crash/restart-safe — rebuilds its entire position state from the broker's live data every tick rather than relying on memory, so a terminal restart or VPS reboot never leaves it confused about what's open.
• Multi-chart safe — a cross-instance lock and duplicate-order detector prevent double entries if you run multiple copies.
• Works on Cent accounts.
• Lightweight on-chart status panel showing basket state, direction, and grid/ATR info.

** Risk note **

• This EA uses grid-based order averaging, which can increase exposure during extended trending moves against the basket. Test on a demo account and size your first-lot and max-orders settings to your account balance before running live.
• Equity Protection monitors total account equity, not just this EA's basket — recommended for accounts running Cent Chicky Chick standalone.

** Disclaimer **: All investments involve high risk. Past backtest results do not guarantee future returns. Trading financial instruments can result in the loss of your entire invested capital. Investors must exercise their own judgment and trade at their own risk.
