Check out the new article: Building a Candlestick Trend Constraint Model (Part 9): Multiple Strategies Expert Advisor (III).
Welcome to the third installment of our trend series! Today, we’ll delve into the use of divergence as a strategy for identifying optimal entry points within the prevailing daily trend. We’ll also introduce a custom profit-locking mechanism, similar to a trailing stop-loss, but with unique enhancements. In addition, we’ll upgrade the Trend Constraint Expert to a more advanced version, incorporating a new trade execution condition to complement the existing ones. As we move forward, we’ll continue to explore the practical application of MQL5 in algorithmic development, providing you with more in-depth insights and actionable techniques.
In algorithmic trading, identifying optimal entry points within a prevailing trend remains a significant challenge, as many strategies struggle to capture the right moment or generate frequent false signals, resulting in suboptimal performance. This issue is particularly pronounced in daily trends, where minor fluctuations can disrupt execution accuracy.
Divergence offers a robust solution by acting as a filter to identify potential reversals or continuations through discrepancies between price movements and momentum indicators. By integrating divergence detection into the Trend Constraint Expert Advisor, traders can significantly enhance their precision in pinpointing entry levels.
This approach improves trade accuracy and also ensures consistent and efficient trading when combined with the advanced capabilities of MQL5. In this article, we will explore the fundamentals of divergence, the steps to integrate it into MQL5 Expert Advisors, enhancements to the Trend Constraint Expert Advisor with new trade execution conditions, and insights from back-testing to demonstrate its practical application.
