EA Stepper

Ea Stepper is a fully automated expert advisor for the mt4 platform,which can be used for short/medium/and long term strategies. The strategy is to find periods of very low volatility to place entries in the direction of daily trend. If trend direction changes and an open trade is in loss, a scaled lot trade will be opened in the opposite direction. It includes money management features such as an auto lot feature and stop loss by equity percentage to control risk.
