Pullback Trading Bot
Overview
Pullback Trading Bot is an automated Expert Advisor designed to trade with the trend instead of chasing price. It combines higher timeframe trend analysis with lower timeframe pullback entries to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
The EA uses a state-based trading system that waits patiently for market conditions to align before opening a trade. This helps reduce unnecessary entries and keeps trading disciplined.
The strategy is suitable for traders who prefer trend-following systems with controlled entries and automated trade management.
StrategyThe trading process follows three simple steps:
1. Detect the Trend
The EA first identifies the market direction using two Moving Averages on the selected trend timeframe.
-
Buy when the short Moving Average is above the long Moving Average.
-
Sell when the short Moving Average is below the long Moving Average.
2. Wait for a Pullback
Instead of entering immediately, the EA waits for price to retrace against the current trend.
This allows entries to occur closer to value rather than buying after strong rallies or selling after large drops.
3. Confirm Continuation
After the pullback, the EA waits for price action to show that the trend is continuing before placing a trade.
This confirmation helps filter weak pullbacks and reduces false entries.

Trading involves financial risk. No Expert Advisor can guarantee profits under all market conditions. Results depend on market volatility, broker execution, spreads, slippage, and account settings.
Always test the EA on a demo account before using it on a live trading account and ensure that the settings are appropriate for your trading objectives.
