FYP Trading Dashboard: Free MT4 Expert Advisor

Overview

Developed as a university final year project, the main expert advisor uses the Relative Strength Index for entry and exit signals. It features extensive risk management parameters, including percentage-based lot sizing, fixed or percentage stop loss and take profit levels, and a trailing stop. The system also incorporates an automated news filter to pause trading during high-impact events and integrates with PostgreSQL for external data logging.
