Description
Momentum Strategy Bot
Automated momentum breakout trading with structured USD-based risk control
Momentum Strategy Bot is an automated trading system designed to identify momentum shifts and breakout conditions using Donchian Channel levels. The cBot places stop orders only when the defined conditions are met, and applies position management using USD-based Stop Loss and Take Profit, converted into pips automatically based on symbol parameters.
The system includes a trailing stop function that updates the Stop Loss as the market moves in favor of the position. It also includes account protection logic through Net Target Profit and Net Maximum Loss controls. When either threshold is reached, the cBot closes all positions and stops execution for safety and consistency.
This tool is intended for users seeking a rules-based execution system for breakout trading with controlled monetary exposure.
