Strategy Logic
This EA defines resistance as the highest price within a predifined number of recent candles, confirmed by a predefined downward movement. Support is defined symmetrically using the lowest price and an upward confirmation move.
When a new level is detected:
- A pending stop order is placed at that level
- Fixed SL and TP are applied
- Optional Trailing Stop can be enabled
- Each level has an expiration time to avoid trading inactive zones
Market Conditions
The strategy follows a trend-based breakout approach. It is generally more suitable for instruments that show sustained directional movement such as indices, gold and bitcoin.
Higher timeframes (H1, H4, D1) are typically more stable due to reduced market noise and lower relative transaction costs. Performance may deteriorate in choppy market conditions.
This is not a martingale, grid or hedging system, though martingale can be applied, if your risk appetite allows it.
