Indicator Bridge EA
Indicator Bridge EA places trades from the signals of a custom indicator that you already have. You enter the indicator name and settings, select its buffers from simple lists, and choose how trades are managed.
The EA reads indicator buffers only. It does not read arrows or levels that an indicator draws as chart objects. An indicator is not included with this product. If the indicator name is left empty, the EA uses a built-in moving average cross so that it can be tested.
Signal types
- Arrows: a value appears in the buy or sell buffer
- Trend colors: a buy or sell buffer starts after being empty
- Oscillator: a buffer crosses the levels you set
- Two lines: one buffer crosses another
- Price and line: the candle close crosses a buffer
Stop loss and take profit
- Reads the stop loss from an indicator buffer, or uses your fixed value
- Uses 1 to 5 take profit levels from the indicator
- With several levels, closes an equal part of the lot at each level
- Can move the stop to the entry price after a chosen take profit
- A buffer value far from the market price is refused and the fixed value is used
Breakeven and trailing stop
- Reads the breakeven price and trailing price from indicator buffers, or uses fixed values in points
Lot size
- Fixed lot
- Automatic lot based on a percentage of balance or equity
- Maximum lot and minimum lot risk limit
Account limits
- Maximum open trades and maximum trades per day
- Maximum spread and minimum margin level
- Daily loss limit and daily profit limit
- Drawdown limit from the equity peak
- Pause after a chosen number of consecutive losses
Trading hours

Important information
Results depend on the connected indicator, the symbol, the broker and your settings. Indicators that repaint can give different results in testing and in live trading. Keep "Last closed candle" selected to read signals after the candle closes. Trading involves risk of loss.
This EA has no grid or martingale mode.
