Adaptive Swings EA is a level-based swing trading Expert Advisor that intelligently identifies market swings, aligns entries to high-probability psychological levels, and manages risk automatically. Designed to be flexible — it works beautifully for intraday trading as well as for riding multi-bar swings. No fixed profit targets — exits rely on trailing stops and time-based rules chosen by you.
Key Advantages
- Adaptive level detection: Finds reliable swing levels and selects the most likely psychological price levels for entries.
- Built-in money management: Automatic position sizing by risk percent; optional enforcement cap to protect small accounts.
- Flexible exit methods: Time-based closes (end of day/week/month) or trailing stops — keep winning runs without fixed T/Ps.
- Works on any symbol & timeframe: Optimized and backtested on H1; performs especially well on Gold (XAUUSD) and major FX pairs.
- Simple, clear inputs: Intuitive parameter set so you can start with defaults and tweak to your style.
- On-chart dashboard & warnings: Real-time account stats and safety warnings so you always know the EA’s state.
Inputs (what each parameter does)
| Input | Meaning / Effect |
|---|---|
| RiskPercent | How much of the account balance the EA will risk on a single trade (expressed as a percentage). The EA calculates lot size automatically from this value. |
| EnforceMaxRisk | If enabled, the EA caps RiskPercent at a safe upper limit. This protects the account from overly-large risk values entered by accident. |
| Use Fixed Lot | True/False option to toggle between fixed lot size or dynamic risk-based lot sizing. |
| FixedLot | The fixed trade volume (lot size) to use. Must be filled if Use Fixed Lot is enabled. |
| SwingBars | Odd numbers only (3, 5, 7 ...). Controls the number of bars used to define swing highs/lows — larger values make swing levels smoother; smaller values make them more sensitive. |
| Psychological level (Pick_Level) | A dropdown of typical psychological levels (10, 20, 25, 50, 100). The EA uses this selection when confirming which round-number levels are most reliable for entries. |
| HourToClose | If using a time-based exit (e.g. End of Day), this is the hour (server time) when the EA will close open trades. |
| MinutesToClose | The minute of the hour (with HourToClose) where the EA closes positions for time-based exits. |
| DontTradeAfter | Stop opening new trades after this hour — useful to avoid low-volume/late-session trading. |
| Exit Condition | Choose how the EA exits existing trades: End of Day, End of Week, End of Month or TrailStopsTillHit (trailing stops). |
| Apply ATR filter | Enable a daily ATR-based volatility filter. When enabled, trade decisions consider current volatility before placing positions. |
| ATR lookback period | Number of bars (ATR period) used to compute the ATR (daily ATR). Required if Apply ATR is selected. |
| ATR multiplier | Integer multiplier for ATR. Used to scale ATR-derived thresholds for stops and filter sensitivity. |
How Adaptive Swings EA works (brief)
The EA continuously scans price action and detects swing highs/lows based on your SwingBars setting. It then evaluates surrounding round-number (psychological) price levels and ranks setups by reliability. When a high-probability level is confirmed, the EA sizes positions automatically using RiskPercent, places the trade, and manages the position with trailing stops or a time-based exit according to your chosen rule.
