Overview
MQ4 Expert Advisor Framework features a linear trailing stop that triggers at a predefined profit level and a pyramiding system to add positions to winning trades using a lot multiplier. The code is structured as a library-driven system, allowing for the integration of technical indicators like Moving Average crossovers and Parabolic SAR. It includes multiple risk management options, such as fixed lot sizing, equity percentage risk, and ATR-based stops. The architecture supports grid trading, though the primary example focuses on trailing stops.
