Trendline EA

The FXTT Trendline EA for MT4 is a robot that helps you trade using the trendlines drawn on your chart. It basically allows you to set pending orders using trend lines. Something that Metatrader does not allow you to do by default.

• Easy to set up
• Choose default Lot size, Stop Loss and Take Profit
• Allows action on Touch, Pullback or Breakout of trendline

The usage and configuration of the Expert Advisor is as follows:

• Load the EA
• Draw your trendlines on the chart
• Add Buy or Sell actions to your trendlines
• If desired, you can configure specific actions per line
• Let the EA manage the trades
