Overview
The system filters entries using a 200-period exponential moving average and an optional ADX momentum filter to avoid low-volatility periods. Trade signals originate from MACD, Stochastic, or moving average crossovers. Risk is managed through ATR-based stop loss and take profit levels, with position sizing based on a fixed percentage of balance. The robot includes specific circuit breakers for daily loss and total drawdown to suit proprietary trading firm rules and enforces a single-position limit.
- ATR-based position sizing and risk management
- FTMO-compliant daily loss and drawdown circuit breakers
- Multiple toggleable entry signals via MACD, Stochastic, and EMA
- Automatic time-based exits using a maximum bar count
- Trend filtering via 200-period exponential moving average
