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:

  • Detects Heikin Ashi color change (Red → Green / Green → Red)
  • Confirms direction using a 60 EMA trend filter
  • Executes stacked entries in the direction of the trend
  • Automatically closes opposite positions on reversal signals

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


⚙️ Default Parameters & Explanation

🔹 Strategy Settings

  • Use Symbol Min Volume = true
    Automatically uses broker’s minimum allowed lot size for safer execution.
  • Quantity per Trade = 0.01 lots
    Used only if min volume is disabled.
  • EMA Periods = 60
    Defines the trend direction filter. Trades only align with this EMA.
  • Max Position Stack = 2
    Limits the number of simultaneous positions to control exposure.


🔹 Filters

  • Max Allowed Spread = 500 pips
    Prevents trading in high-spread conditions (useful for synthetic/volatile markets).


🔹 Stack Protection (Basket Control)

  • Use Global SL = true
    Enables total floating loss protection.
  • Stop Loss Total = $10
    Closes all positions if total loss reaches -$10.
  • Use Global TP = false
    Disabled by default.
  • Take Profit Total = $50
    If enabled, closes all positions at +$50 profit.


🔹 Session Control

  • Use Session Filter = true
    Trades only during defined hours.
  • Session Open = 01:00
  • Session Close = 23:00
    Avoids low-liquidity or unstable periods.


🔹 Risk Management (Account Protection)

  • Stop Robot: Net Profit = $5000
    Stops trading completely after reaching profit target.
  • Stop Robot: Net Loss = $1000
    Hard stop to protect account from excessive drawdown.
  • Pause Day: Daily Profit = $2000
    Stops trading for the day after hitting profit.
  • Pause Day: Daily Loss = $50
    Stops trading for the day to prevent overtrading losses.

April 20, 2026
this feels useful once the plan already has a plan. The main value is following the broader move, not chasing every signal that appears. The part to watch is whether bad trades cluster too quickly.
April 20, 2026
Not bad, just needs realistic expectations. Makes more sense as one more check and ignore it when the chart looks messy. The useful comparison is hit rate versus average R.
April 20, 2026
Not a shortcut machine, but it has a clear role. It helps with trend filtering, while the weak spot is that sideways markets can weaken the signal. A smaller first run keeps the risk easier to read.
April 15, 2026
I liked it more as a backup layer for trend filtering than as something to follow blindly. Direction is easier to respect, and the final decision still feels like it belongs to the trader.
