Welcome to SMC Structure Shift EA for MT5
This automatic trading system works on a simple but efficient smart money concept, which consists in identifying the current market structure and a bias, finding the last high and low and open a position on the continuation of the trend.
No martingale or grid systems are used with this EA.
Only pending orders are placed depending on an identified Bias.
There is always only one trade open at a time, which makes this strategy safer.
Each position has a fixed StopLoss and TakeProfit.
Lot size can be set manually or automatically calculated as a percentage of an account balance.
If you turn on Compounding, the lot size will be calculated for each trade and the lot size will increase according to the size of your account.
It can be used on most assets and time frames (tested for most forex pairs and gold, 1Hour and 15min TF).
The EA should run on VPS for 24/7 run.
