Dynamic Trendline Deluxe Pro Bot — cBot for cTrader Version 4.0 · Major Update 🚀

🆕 What's New in Version 4.0

Version 4.0 is a major evolution built on the Deluxe Pro foundation. Every new feature was driven by real trader feedback and prop firm requirements. The core trendline strategy is unchanged — all additions are layered on top without breaking existing configurations.

🚨 Hard Stop (Forced Closure) — When a daily DD or max drawdown limit is breached, the bot instantly closes all its open positions on the symbol. The ultimate account-saver for prop firm challenges. Now a simple checkbox — no more confusing text input.

🎯 Daily & Weekly Profit Targets — Set a daily or weekly profit target as a % of balance. When reached, the bot optionally stops opening new trades, locking in accumulated gains before giving them back.

🛡️ Max Drawdown Limit (Equity-Based) — A hard absolute floor on equity. If your account equity falls below a set % of the initial balance, trading stops immediately regardless of realized P/L.

📊 Hourly Status Report — Every hour the bot prints a full risk snapshot to the log: equity, daily drawdown %, total drawdown %, win rate, profit factor, and P/L. Full transparency at all times.

📈 Martingale / Anti-Martingale — Optional volume progression system. Martingale multiplies lot size after losses; Anti-Martingale after wins. Both are capped by a configurable step limit.

🔺 Position Scaling (Pyramid In / Scale Out) — Pyramid In adds partial positions in the direction of a winning trade every N profit pips. Scale Out progressively closes portions at each pip step.

📰 News Filter (Block Windows) — Define UTC time windows during which the bot will not open new trades. Ideal for blocking entries around high-impact news events like NFP, CPI, or Fed announcements.

⚡ Spread Filter + CoolDown + Max SL Cap — Three new entry guards: block trades when spread exceeds a threshold, enforce a minimum number of bars between entries, and cap the SL of any single trade as a per-trade circuit breaker.

📋 Final Session Performance Report — When the bot stops, it prints a complete summary: total trades, win rate, profit factor, average pips per trade, and maximum drawdown recorded during the session.

🔧 Startup Parameter Validation — Before trading begins, the bot checks for dangerous or contradictory configurations and prints warnings to the log — catching mistakes before they cost you money.

⚠️ Important Advisory for Prop Firm Traders

This bot is equipped with a professional-grade equity protection system essential for prop firm challenges. We strongly advise against setting the bot's Max Daily Drawdown (%) to the same value as your prop firm's limit (e.g., 4% or 5%).

💡 The winning strategy: set a stricter, more conservative limit. Use the bot's drawdown parameter as your personal daily stop-loss, staying well inside the prop firm's absolute limit.

🎯 Practical example: → Prop firm daily DD limit: 4% → ❌ Wrong: set bot limit to 4% — dangerous → ✅ Correct: set bot limit to 1% – 1.5%

If you hit a bad day, the bot triggers its Hard Stop after a small, controlled loss — far from violating the prop firm's rules. The goal is not to use your entire daily buffer in one session, but to survive long enough to win. 🧠

⚙️ Introduction

Dynamic Trendline Deluxe Pro Bot is a versatile cBot for the cTrader platform whose strategy is based on identifying price interaction with dynamically calculated support and resistance trendlines. Its core philosophy is "Survive First, Profit Second" — built from the ground up to navigate the rigorous evaluations set by proprietary trading firms.

📌 Note: optimization was performed on IC Markets. Results may differ on other brokers.

📐 Core Strategy: Dynamic Trendlines and Signals

On each new bar, the bot analyzes the preceding Lookback Candles to identify key lows and highs, connecting the two most extreme points to form a dynamic trendline. The line is recalculated on every bar, continuously adapting to market evolution.

Smart Validation:

• Touch Validation — confirms a line's relevance by requiring a minimum number of candle contacts within a pip tolerance
• Slope Filter — removes lines that are too flat or too steep based on configurable angle thresholds

Three signal types are monitored:

• 📍 Breakout — a definitive break of the line, detectable on bar close or on every tick
• 📍 Touch — price contacts the line without a significant break
• 📍 Approach — price enters within a configurable pip distance without touching

For each signal and line type the user sets an independent action: ContinueTrend, Invert, or NoAction. Two override mechanisms can bypass all action settings and filters: a manual force and an automatic ATR-based volatility override.
