Robust Trend Hunter is a fully automated EA aiming to capture sizable movements within trends. Unlike many other EAs within the market requiring continuous update or optimization, it manages to sustainably perform well in ever-changing market conditions without intermittent adjustments. Besides, the inbuilt money management function allows you to adjust the risk level according to your personal trading objectives.

Main features

• Sturdy trend following system that is able to withstand most market conditions and will not collapse by slightly modifying any parameters.
• One trade at a time, no martingale.
• Trailing stop is used in all trades so the downside is limited whilst the upside is potentially unlimited.
• The position size of each trade is auto-adjusted to risk a fixed percentage of the account equity.
• The imaginary capital function manages to include your capital outside the trading account when calculating the position size.

Recommended Conditions

• Symbol: XAUUSD & EURUSD, or any efficient and trendy markets
• Time frame: H1
• Minimum Capital: USD5,000 (or non-USD equivalent)

Parameters

magic_num: The Magic Number used to track the orders made by the EA.

ENTRY AND EXIT

• entrysignal_period: Period of the entry signal.
• filter_period: Period of the filter for identifying long term trend and filtering out unnecessary trades.
• atr_period: Period of Average True Range (ATR) used to calculate stop loss
• R_ATR_multiplier; R_ATR_multiplier x ATR = range of stop loss (R)
• takeprofit_R_multiplier: takeprofit_R_multiplier x R = range of take profit. The default value 0 means no take profit level will be attached to open orders. It is not mandatory to set the take profit level as trailing stop is used in the system.
• max_spread_to_R_percentage (0-100): Maximum percentage ratio of spread over R.

MonEY MANAGEMENT AND POSITION SIZING

• risk_percentage_per_trade (0 to 100): Percentage risk of [account equity + imaginary capital] per trade. (Recommended value: 0.5 to 2.5)
• imaginary_capital: The capital outside your trading account (e.g. fixed deposit in the bank, your stocks, bonds, etc.) that you want to include when calculating the percentage risk per trade
• fix_balance: Fixed balance used to calculate the percentage risk per trade. The default value 0 means does not use fixed balance and the percentage risk is calculated based on [account equity + imaginary capital].
