Overview

Jamesmaria EA employs an H1 entry strategy based on the EMA 21/50 crossover and RSI confirmation, using H4 trend filtering for higher-probability setups. The EA includes dynamic lot sizing scaled to account equity, ATR-based take profits, and a trailing stop. Risk management features include a daily percentage loss limit, a maximum spread filter, and a session filter for London and New York hours. While documentation suggests conservative settings, the code defaults to a high equity-based stop loss.
