Overview
Range Bars EA Framework includes template robots for moving average crossovers and Super Trend strategies. The included code manages trade execution with configurable stop loss, take profit, break-even, and trailing stop parameters. It also supports partial position closing, signal confirmation bars, and time-of-day filters. This repository acts as an SDK, requiring the associated Range Bars indicator from the MQL5 Market to generate the custom chart environment necessary for the EAs to function.

- Customizable trailing stop and break-even logic
- Partial close functionality based on profit points
- Trading session time filters
