StarkForge Sentinel EA: Free MT5 Expert Advisor

Overview

StarkForge Sentinel EA enters trades in the London-NY overlap (15:00-19:00 broker time) via M15 range-breakout detection after Asian-London session levels, confirmed by a retest within ATR tolerance. H1 trend bias uses EMA50/200 crossover and ADX14 >22 filter. Exits feature ATR dynamic stop-loss (clamped 8-60 pips), multi-partial closes at 1.5R and 2.5R, break-even at 1R plus buffer, and ATR trailing stop. Risk controls cap position at 0.75% risk per trade, halt new entries on 2% daily loss, 8% peak drawdown, max 2 trades per day, and consecutive losses. No martingale, grid, averaging or hedging. Forces close before weekends.
