Overview
WannaBeQuant Strategy Selection combines six distinct trading logic modules, including Ichimoku trend following, mean reversion, and breakout strategies. The EA executes on a timer-based loop rather than every tick and utilizes a local database to track trade metadata for persistence. Risk management features include equity-based drawdown thresholds, percentage-based stop losses, spread filters, and maximum order limits. It supports multiple symbols simultaneously and manages position sizing through strategy-specific multipliers.
- Six technical indicator-based strategies
