Overview
Orchard Simple EA Template includes demonstration robots that interface with indicators like MACD and Parabolic SAR using the iCustom function. The repository serves as a learning resource for structuring MQL5 code and handling trade execution. Each example includes essential risk controls such as fixed stop loss, take profit, and manual lot sizing. While functional as basic trading robots, the scripts are primarily designed to illustrate how to program entry signals and manage positions within the MT5 framework.
- External indicator integration via iCustom
- Configurable take profit and stop loss
- Manual lot size and magic number settings
- Standard MT5 trade class implementation
