Overview

Compound Effect EA manages positions using percentage-based stop loss and take profit targets rather than fixed pips. The expert advisors include risk controls like equity allocation limits and trailing stops. Notable features include a time-based hedging function designed to manage aging losing positions and various utility versions for trailing stops and ATR-based exits. The README provides minimal technical documentation.
