REGISTER PARTICIPANTS Expert Trend Lines Trading Mt4

#trendlinestrading



The Expert Advisor finds the trend lines on the chart based on fractals. Later, it uses the found lines to open deals once the price bounces from the lines. The EA is able to calculate numerous lines simultaneously and it can trade based on the areas where such lines consolidate, forming a strong support or resistance for the price. Many of the parameters can be configured. In addition, it uses some of the standard indicators (RSI and ADX) to provide a higher quality of market entries.
