Overview

Position Trading EA utilizes the 200-period Exponential Moving Average and the Ichimoku Cloud to confirm multi-timeframe trends and momentum. The EA calculates position sizes according to account risk percentage and uses the Average True Range for dynamic stop loss placement. Trade management includes trailing stops, breakeven adjustments, and optional partial profit taking. It is intended for high timeframes and typically maintains a low trading frequency.
