Overview
MT4Phoenix — Multi-Timeframe Breakout Expert Advisor (MetaTrader 4)
Recommended Pair: XAUUSD
MT4Phoenix automates a simple continuation approach. It evaluates a higher timeframe for directional bias and waits for a breakout signal on a lower timeframe. Orders are placed with predefined risk and a selected exit method.
How It Operates (Overview)
- Bias check (higher timeframe): an EMA relationship defines when long exposure is permitted.
- Entry check (execution timeframe): a recent swing level is identified; a breakout beyond that level enables an entry.
- Risk sizing: position volume is derived from the chosen per-trade risk and the calculated stop distance, with broker volume steps respected.
- Exit management: choose between a volatility-based target or a rule-based close when the EMA relationship turns against the position. Optional trailing stop and partial close are available.
Main Features
- Timeframes: separate selections for bias and execution.
- Entries: breakout above a recent swing level when bias allows.
- Exits:
- ATR target (user-defined multiplier), or
- EMA-based close on the selected timeframe.
- Optional trailing stop: ATR, percent, or points.
- Optional partial profit at an R-multiple.
- Risk controls: fixed-amount or percent-of-balance risk; min/max lots; spread and margin checks; broker stops/freeze-level handling.
- Logging: bar events, bias state, entry/exit checks, and trade results are written to the Experts log for review.
Inputs (Summary)
- Risk: fixed amount or % of balance; minimum/maximum lots.
- MAs: fast/slow EMA periods; bias and entry timeframes.
- ATR: period and multipliers for SL/TP and trailing, if selected.
- Structure: lookback and window for swing detection.
- Trade management: trailing mode and parameters; partial take-profit R-multiple and percent; optional daily risk limit and cooldown.
- Broker constraints: stops level, freeze level, margin check.
