EURUSD M15 EMA-ATR Robot (Premium) — Marketplace Description

Product Overview

**EURUSD M15 EMA-ATR Robot** is a single-engine, trend-following cBot built

exclusively for **EURUSD** on the **M15** timeframe. It combines a simple,

transparent EMA crossover signal with an ATR confirmation buffer, and pairs it

with a strict, systematic risk and drawdown protection engine.

Core design goals:

- Trade only confirmed setups from fully closed M15 bars (no repainting, no

intrabar signal changes).

- Use one clear signal model (EMA fast/slow crossover + ATR context) instead

of stacking many hard filters that reduce trade frequency without adding

real edge.

- Keep position sizing and risk strictly systematic: every trade risks a

fixed percentage of Equity or Balance, computed from the live `Symbol`

object (no hard-coded pip/lot size constants).

- Provide production-grade account protection: spread filter, ATR range

filter, break-even, ATR trailing stop, consecutive-loss cooldown, daily

equity drawdown lock, global equity/balance drawdown emergency lock, and

weekend-gap protection.

How The Robot Works

1. Market and Timeframe Scope

The robot is hard-locked to **EURUSD, M15**. If attached to any other symbol

or timeframe it will display a clear warning and will not open any position,

while still allowing the user to move it to the correct chart and restart.

2. Signal Engine

- Direction trigger: **EMA(fast) / EMA(slow) crossover**, evaluated only on

the last fully closed M15 bar.

- Confirmation: price must close beyond the fast EMA by an ATR-scaled buffer

(`Entry ATR Buffer`), avoiding noisy/marginal crossovers.

- Volatility context: **Wilder ATR**. Trading is only allowed while ATR (in

pips) is within a configured minimum/maximum band, avoiding both dead

markets and abnormally volatile conditions.

3. Risk and Order Execution

- Position sizing uses a **fixed percentage of Equity or Balance** per trade

(user-selectable capital basis).

- Initial Stop Loss is an **ATR multiple** (minimum 5 pips technical floor).

- Initial Take Profit is an independent ATR multiple.

- A slippage safety buffer is included directly in the volume calculation,

and the actual realised risk is re-checked right after execution; if

slippage pushed the real risk more than 5% above target, the position is

closed immediately as a protective measure.

- New entries are blocked if the spread exceeds either an absolute pip limit

or 25% of the current ATR.

4. Position Management

- **Break-even**: stop is moved to entry + a small buffer once profit

reaches a configurable ATR-based trigger.

- **ATR trailing stop**: once profit passes a separate ATR-based trigger, the

stop trails the market at a configurable ATR multiple. The stop can only

move in the trade's favour and only updates when the improvement is

meaningful (≥ 0.5 pip), avoiding needless server round-trips.

- Exactly **one open position at a time** — the robot only manages positions

and pending orders under its own configurable Bot Label.

5. Protection Layer

- **Daily equity drawdown lock**: closes all own positions and blocks new

entries for the rest of the broker trading day if the configured daily

drawdown threshold is hit; automatically clears on the next trading day.

- **Global emergency lock**: closes all own positions and blocks _all_ new

trading, indefinitely, if either the global equity or global balance

drawdown threshold is hit. This is a deliberately **sticky** safety lock —

it can only be cleared by the user explicitly setting `Reset Emergency

Lock = true` and restarting the cBot, which also re-initializes the

equity/balance high-water marks.

- **Consecutive-loss cooldown**: after a configured number of consecutive

losing trades, new entries are paused for a configurable number of M15

bars, then resume automatically.

- **Weekend/gap protection**: new entries are blocked after a configurable

Friday cutoff hour; open positions can optionally be closed before the

weekend; and after any gap exceeding 1.5x ATR (including the Monday

reopen), new entries wait for confirmation bars.

6. Chart Status Label Color (Running / Stopped Indicator)

The on-chart status label uses a fixed, theme-independent color scheme so it

stays clearly legible on both the **cTrader Desktop** platform and

**cTrader WebTrader**, regardless of whether the chart uses a light or dark

background:

- **Emerald Green — RGB(16, 185, 129)**: shown whenever the cBot instance is

actively running (including while an internal Daily Lock, Emergency Lock

or consecutive-loss cooldown is temporarily blocking new trades — the

process itself is still alive and monitoring the market).

- **Coral / Neon Red — RGB(239, 68, 68)**: shown the moment the cBot instance

actually stops (manually stopped, removed from the chart, or terminated by

the platform), so the user can immediately recognize at a glance that the

robot is no longer running and needs to be restarted.

This is a purely visual indicator layered on top of the existing status

panel; it does not change any entry, exit, risk or drawdown-protection logic.

Operational Notes For Marketplace Users

- Always confirm the chart is set to **EURUSD, M15** before starting the

cBot — this is a hard requirement, not a suggestion.

- Back-test and optimise with realistic spread, commission and slippage

settings. Evaluate profit factor, maximum drawdown and trade count

stability, not just net profit.

- The `Reset Emergency Lock` parameter is a manual safety valve. It is not

supposed to be left `true` — the cBot logs a reminder to set it back to

`false` after it processes a reset.

- Past performance in back-tests or demo forward tests does not guarantee

future results.

Who This Robot Is For

- Traders who want a transparent, single-engine trend strategy with strong,

auditable risk controls.

- Users who want full control over both signal strictness (EMA/ATR ranges)

and safety behavior (drawdown limits, cooldown, weekend handling).

- Systematic users who validate strategies with in-sample, out-of-sample and

forward testing before going live.
