Candle Color Algo is a precision-engineered cTrader robot designed to capture high-probability trend reversals using Heikin Ashi candle logic combined with a powerful EMA trend filter. Built with strict risk controls and broker-safe execution, this system is ideal for traders who want controlled stacking with intelligent protection.
🔍 Strategy Overview
This robot identifies momentum shifts using candle color transitions:

The result: clean entries, controlled exposure, and disciplined exits
