Trend Pilot - Precision Trend Following for Multiple Markets.

Strategy Type & Trading Approach

Trend Pilot is a configurable trend-following cBot designed to trade multiple asset classes, including:

• Forex
• Indices
• Metals
• Cryptocurrencies
• Commodities

The strategy aims to trade in the direction of the prevailing market trend using multiple technical confirmations.

The system combines:

• Three EMA trend alignment
• ADX trend strength confirmation
• Higher Timeframe Two EMA confirmation
• Price retracement toward a selected EMA
• EMA crossover confirmation
• Engulfing candle confirmation

By requiring multiple confirmations, the strategy filters many lower-probability trades and focuses on higher-quality setups.

Entry Logic & Execution Behavior

Trades are opened only when all selected entry conditions are satisfied.

Entry conditions include:

• Trend confirmed by a 3-EMA stack
• ADX strength above the configured threshold
• Higher Timeframe 2-EMA alignment
• Price retracement toward an EMA
• EMA crossover confirmation
• Valid engulfing candle pattern

Additional execution controls include:

• Enable/Disable Buy trades
• Enable/Disable Sell trades
• Individual hourly trading schedule

This allows traders to focus on specific market sessions such as London, New York, or custom trading periods.

Optimized Parameters Per Instrument

Trend Pilot is designed as a flexible framework rather than a one-size-fits-all system.

Different markets behave differently, and each instrument may require its own optimized settings, including:

• EMA periods
• ADX thresholds
• ATR Stop Loss and Take Profit multipliers
• Trading hours
• Higher Timeframe selection
• Risk settings

Users are encouraged to optimize parameters for each instrument and timeframe before live trading.

Risk & Capital Management

Trend Pilot includes comprehensive money management tools designed to help preserve capital while allowing flexible risk control.

Features include:

• Risk-based position sizing
• Daily loss limit protection
• ATR-based Stop Loss
• ATR-based Take Profit
• Partial Take Profit
• Automatic Break-even
• Automatic EMA Trailing Stop

All risk management settings are fully configurable.

Best Suited For

Trend Pilot is designed for traders who:

• Trade multiple markets
• Prefer trend-following strategies
• Want a configurable, rules-based automated system
• Value disciplined risk management
• Use cTrader-compatible ECN or low-spread brokers

Recommended Account Size

Recommended starting balance:

• $300 or higher

The cBot can also be used on smaller or larger accounts by adjusting risk settings appropriately.

Experience Level

Suitable for:

• Intermediate traders seeking a disciplined automated strategy
• Advanced traders who want extensive control over entry filters and risk parameters

Beginners can use default settings but should understand the basics of trading and risk management before trading live.

Limitations

Trend Pilot is a trend-following strategy, meaning it generally performs best in trending market conditions.

Performance may decrease during prolonged sideways or low-volatility markets where false signals are more common.

Like all automated trading systems, results will vary depending on broker execution, spreads, commissions, slippage, market conditions, and parameter settings.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test the cBot on a demo account and use appropriate risk management before trading with real funds.
