Trend Is Your Friend cBot is an advanced, multi-functional trading algorithm designed for the cTrader platform. It is a comprehensive solution that combines four distinct trading philosophies—Grid, Pyramid, Scalping, and Swing Trading—into one intuitive interface.

Core Philosophy: Follow the momentum. This cBot is built on the principle that the most consistent profits come from identifying a trend and managing positions with mathematical precision, whether through aggressive scaling or conservative following.

Who Is It For?

• Beginners: Use the Manual Mode and interactive panel to learn market dynamics with an intelligent assistant managing your exits.
• Scalpers: Utilize fast RSI and Stochastic entries on lower timeframes (m1-m15) combined with precise grid levels.
• Swing Traders: Deploy MA Cross signals on higher timeframes (H1-D1) with Pyramid Mode to capture massive market moves.
• Professional Traders: Access deep customization, including multi-timeframe filters, ATR volatility constraints, and granular volume control.

Key Features

1. Multi-Strategy Entry Engine

Choose from 9 different entry modes to suit any market condition:

• Technical Indicators: MA, MA Cross, RSI, MACD, Stochastic, and Pivot Points.
• Price Action: Same Candle Serie (momentum bursts).
• Logic-Based: Time-based entries or full Manual Control via the on-chart panel.

2. Dual Exposure Logic (Grid vs. Pyramid)

• Grid Trading: Ideal for sideways markets. Automatically opens positions at predetermined distances to lower your average entry price during consolidations.
• Pyramid Trading: Designed for strong trends. Adds positions as your profit grows, allowing you to maximize gains during "runs" without increasing initial risk.

3. Advanced Profit Management

The bot features a smart "TP Scope" system:

• USD or Percentage: Close trades based on a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the account/grid profit.
• Hybrid Mode: Uses USD targets for single trades and switches to Percentage targets once the grid expands.

4. Intelligent Protection & Filters

• Trailing Stop Loss: Lock in profits using Fast or Slow Moving Averages as dynamic exit points.
• Trend Filtering: "Only MA direction" ensures the bot only trades when the short-term trend aligns with the long-term trend (Multi-Timeframe Analysis).
• Volatility Filter: Built-in ATR (Average True Range) filter prevents entries during "dead" markets or dangerously high volatility.

Understanding the Parameter Groups

• GENERAL: Set a unique label to run multiple instances on one pair.
• GRID/PYRAMID: Control how many orders the bot can open and how far apart they are.
• VOLUME: Choose between FIX_LOT, STEP (addition), or MARTINGALE (multiplication).
• TIMER: Restrict trading to specific sessions (e.g., London or New York) and auto-close positions at the end of the day.
• SETTINGS: Fine-tune periods for RSI, MACD, and Moving Averages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this as a manual trading assistant?
A: Yes! Set Mode to MANUAL. Use the on-chart buttons to buy/sell; the bot will handle the Grid/Pyramid management and TP/SL execution automatically.

Q: What is the "Same Candle Serie" mode?
A: It enters a trade after X number of candles of the same color. For example, after 3 green candles, it opens a Long position to catch a momentum breakout.

Q: How does the Percentage TP work?
A: Instead of a fixed price, it calculates the total floating profit of all grid orders. Once the collective profit reaches your specified percentage, the entire basket is closed.

Q: Is the indicator necessary?
A: While the bot functions internally, the free indicator allows you to visualize exactly where the bot "sees" entry and exit levels on your chart.

Risk Warning

• Martingale and Grid strategies can involve high risk. Ensure your account has sufficient margin to handle drawdowns.
• Always test new settings on a Demo Account for at least 30 days.
• Past performance, including backtests from 2023-2026, is not a guarantee of future results.
• Use the Safety SL features to protect your equity from unexpected market black-swan events.
