Beschreibung
It's very good for funded account challenges because the risk can be adjusted and the maximum dropdown over many years is 4%
Fully automated systematic trend-following trading robot designed for swing and position trading on higher timeframes, optimized for Daily charts.
The strategy combines:
- Long-term trend filtering
- Volatility-adjusted risk management
- ATR-based trailing exits
- Optional pyramiding for trend compounding
It is built around the core principles used by professional CTA (Commodity Trading Advisor) systems: ride strong trends, cut losses quickly, and let profits run.
Core Strategy Logic
Trend Detection
The bot identifies market direction using:
- 50-period Simple Moving Average
- 200-period Simple Moving Average
Long Entries
The robot opens BUY positions when:
- 50 SMA > 200 SMA
This confirms bullish market structure and trend continuation.
Short Entries
The robot opens SELL positions when:
- 50 SMA < 200 SMA
This confirms bearish market structure and downside momentum.
Volatility-Based Risk Management
The system uses:
- 21-period ATR (Average True Range)
ATR dynamically measures current market volatility.
This allows:
- Adaptive stop placement
- Consistent percentage-based risk
- Automatic adjustment to changing market conditions
Dynamic ATR Trailing Stop
The bot does not use fixed take-profit targets.
Instead, positions are managed using a professional ATR trailing stop mechanism:
- Stops tighten as trades move into profit
- Stops never widen
- Winning trades are allowed to run during major trends
This creates asymmetric risk/reward behavior:
- Small controlled losses
- Potentially very large trend captures
Position Sizing Engine
The strategy includes automatic risk-based position sizing.
Features:
- Adjustable risk per trade
- Lot size calculated automatically
- Consistent exposure across different volatility environments
Default setting:
- 1% account risk per trade
This helps maintain disciplined portfolio management.
Optional Pyramiding
The robot supports optional pyramiding:
- Additional positions can be added during strong trends
- New entries occur after the existing trade gains 1 ATR in profit
This allows the strategy to compound aggressively during sustained directional moves.
Pyramiding can be:
- Enabled
- Disabled
depending on the trader’s risk profile.
