QuantEdge Trend Follower is a classic, fully rule-based trend following Expert Advisor. It buys new highs, sells new lows, and lets the winners run with a trailing stop placed at the broker. No indicators to tune, no hidden logic, no martingale.
The rules
- Entry: a H4 candle closes above the highest high (buy) or below the lowest low (sell) of the previous 55 candles
- Initial stop: 1.5 x ATR
- Exit: trailing stop on the low / high of the last 27 closed candles, moved at each candle close, only in your favour. No take profit: the trend decides.
- Risk: 0.5 % of the balance at the stop, reduced to 0.25 % when the breakout goes against the EMA 50/200 trend
- The stop loss is always at the broker: the trade stays protected if your PC is off
- All settings can be changed: timeframe, channel lengths, stop, risk, directions

What to expect - please read
- Trend following loses often and wins big: only 20-30 % of trades win, and long series of small losses are normal.
- A few big trends pay for everything: the 3 best trades often made most of the profit.
- Some years are flat (Bitcoin 2025-2026: +1 %).
- It is made for markets with long trends (crypto, gold) on H4. It is NOT for forex on short timeframes (EURUSD H1 2025: -10 %).
Position size you can trust
- Lot from the real profit value reported by MT5 (some brokers publish a wrong tick value - we found a 10x error on gold), commission included
- Lot rounded down; trade skipped if even the minimum lot would risk more than 3x your setting
- Free margin and broker volume limit checked. One position per symbol: no martingale, no grid, no averaging down
- If the market is closed when the signal comes, it retries during the same candle, never later
Live panel: buy and sell levels with their distance in ATR, EMA 50/200 trend, open trade with its trailing stop and the profit already locked. English / French, 4 themes, channel lines on the chart.
