Modular Trade System: Free MT4 Expert Advisor

Overview

Modular Trade System organizes trading logic into decoupled components including signal engines, order management, and environment checking. The system uses an abstract controller class to handle data processing from multiple sources, such as MACD or martingale engines. While the framework includes basic lot sizing and trade execution, the base code currently lists stop loss and take profit enforcement as pending features. It serves as a boilerplate for developers to build and swap trading strategies.

Decoupled modular architecture for code reusability

Abstract signal engine interface for custom logic

Integrated environment checker for runtime safety

Factory pattern for switching between different trading systems
