Workflow
-
Initialization: Configure the input parameters to tailor the bot to your specific trading strategy. Attach the script to the desired chart in MetaTrader 4.
-
Signal Detection: The bot continuously monitors the custom indicator for buy and sell signals. It retrieves the signal using the iCustom function and evaluates it based on the configured buy_signal and sell_signal values.
-
Filtering: If filtering is enabled, the bot checks additional conditions based on the selected filter type (MA or ADX). For MA, it compares the current price against the moving average. For ADX, it ensures the ADX value exceeds the specified threshold to confirm trend strength.
-
Trade Execution:
- Long Positions: When a valid buy signal is detected, and all conditions are met (including filtering), the bot opens a buy position with the specified lot size, stop loss, and take profit.
- Short Positions: Similarly, when a valid sell signal is detected, and conditions are satisfied, the bot opens a sell position.
-
Position Management:
- Close on Opposite Signal: If the close_on_opposite parameter is enabled, the bot closes positions when an opposite signal is detected.
- Trailing Stop: If trailing stop is enabled, the bot dynamically adjusts the stop loss based on the selected trailing stop type (e.g., high/low of recent bars, ATR, MA).
- Break-even: When the price reaches the specified break-even level, the bot adjusts the stop loss to the entry price to secure profits.
-
Continuous Monitoring: The bot continuously monitors market conditions and updates positions as needed, ensuring that the trading strategy is executed consistently and efficiently.
