Overview
The robot maps Order Blocks on a higher timeframe, waiting for a retest before seeking Change in State of Delivery (CISD) confirmation on a lower timeframe. It supports fixed lot sizes or percentage-based risk sizing, setting stops on the far side of blocks with adjustable risk-to-reward targets. Features include break-even adjustments, a trend filter, and capital protection limits like spread and daily loss guards. By default, the EA operates as a visual signal tool until trading execution is manually enabled via the on-chart panel.
- Dual-timeframe Smart Money Concepts analysis
- On-chart interactive control panel for settings and execution
- Change in State of Delivery (CISD) entry confirmation
- Capital protection guards including spread and volatility filters
- Multiple exit strategies such as break-even and opposite block close
