FxTrendFollowFTMO is an automated trend-following cBot engineered specifically for prop firm challenges (such as FTMO) and conservative live trading accounts. It focuses on capital preservation, disciplined trade execution, and controlled drawdown on higher timeframes.

Key Features & Strategy Logic

• Strategy Style: Multi-condition trend following that identifies market momentum and structural trend continuations.
• Entry Rules: Enters trades aligned with the higher-timeframe trend (H4) when confirmation signals trigger, avoiding low-liquidity and erratic consolidation ranges.
• Exit Rules: Every position is protected with predefined Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) targets. Includes systematic trailing stops to lock in unrealized profits as price expands in favor of the trade.
• Risk Management: Strict prop-firm compliance. No Martingale, no grid, and no high-risk averaging down. Every trade carries fixed, calculated risk per order.
