ParaTrend Navigator
- Uzmanlar
- Sürüm: 1.0
ParaTrend Navigator is a fully automated MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor built around a classic, well-tested trend-following combination: the Parabolic SAR indicator for entry timing, filtered by the ADX indicator for trend strength confirmation.
The EA waits for the Parabolic SAR dot to flip from one side of price to the other, which signals a potential change in short-term direction. Instead of acting on every flip, it checks the ADX value first: a trade is only opened when ADX is above your chosen threshold, meaning the market is actually trending rather than moving sideways. This simple filter is designed to reduce the number of false signals and whipsaws that a raw SAR-only system would take in choppy conditions.
Key Features
- Entry signal based on a Parabolic SAR flip (price crossing to the other side of the SAR dots)
- ADX trend-strength filter avoids trading in weak or ranging markets
- Automatic Stop Loss and Take Profit sized from the current ATR (Average True Range) value
- Optional ATR-based trailing stop that only tightens once a trade is sufficiently in profit
- Built-in margin check with a 20% safety buffer before every trade
- Evaluates signals once per new bar, not on every tick, and manages one position at a time
- Spread filter and trading-session filter to avoid execution during unfavorable conditions
- No martingale, no grid, no averaging down - every position uses a fixed lot size with a defined Stop Loss

Recommendations
This EA is designed for trending instruments such as Forex majors, Gold, and major indices. As with any trading strategy, please test it thoroughly on a demo account and in the Strategy Tester with your broker's historical data before considering live use, and adjust the ADX threshold and ATR multiples to match the volatility of your chosen symbol and timeframe. Past or simulated performance is not a guarantee of future results.
