Overview
Mql5 EA Framework includes a functional strategy that enters trades based on RSI levels and Moving Average crossovers. The system manages exits through automated stop loss, take profit, break-even adjustments, and trailing stops. Risk management is centralized, offering dynamic lot sizing based on account equity and a maximum drawdown threshold. The framework is designed for extensibility, allowing traders to swap signal providers or risk models while maintaining clean trade execution logic.
- RSI and Moving Average crossover signal generation
- Dynamic position sizing based on account risk percentage
- Automated break-even and trailing stop management
- Maximum drawdown protection and error handling
