KeltnerStoch Consensus EA Hedge

KeltnerStoch Consensus EA (with Hedging Martingale and Indicator Mode)

What it is:
An Expert Advisor that combines Keltner Channels (EMA20+ATR) + Stochastic (14,3,3) with a trend consensus filter (EMA200 + ADX + MACD). It can trade automatically or work as a visual indicator, drawing BUY/SELL arrows and text on the chart.

Where to use it:
Works on any symbol and timeframe. My best results were on EURUSD H4 with TP = 40 pips and SL = 80 pips. ⚠️ This is not a promise of results; it’s a practical reference. Adapt it to your broker and volatility.

Set files:
? The SET files will be published in the product Comments section.
? Always run backtests and/or demo tests before going live.

Recommended capital:
? It is recommended to use accounts from $1,000 and up to have enough operating margin, especially if you enable the hedging martingale loop.

✅ Modes of use

? 1) Indicator Mode (no trading)

• Shows BUY/SELL arrows and text on the chart when Keltner+Stochastic conditions are met, with the consensus filter if you choose.

• Useful for discretionary signals or to combine with your own entry rules.

• Enable: Draw_Signals_Always = true and leave auto-trading off (or set Hedge_Block_Normal_Entries = true and do not enable hedging).

? 2) Normal Auto-Trading Mode

• The EA opens buys/sells according to the Keltner+Stoch logic and consensus filters.

• Uses fixed SL/TP (in pips) and respects a max spread.

? 3) Hedging Martingale Mode (bi-directional loop)

• When Enable_Hedge_Martingale is enabled, the EA manages a coverage cycle that doubles (or multiplies) the lot size by pip steps and closes the entire basket upon reaching a money target.

• On netting accounts, coverage behavior is netted (positions are offset), so the cycle behaves more like averaging. For true hedging with multiple opposite legs open simultaneously, a hedging account is recommended.

⚙️ Parameters (explained with icons)

? General

• Only_New_Bar – Trade only on closed candle (reduces noise and re-entries).

• Draw_Signals_Always – Always draw arrows/text, even if no order is opened.

• Debug_Comment – Shows a debug panel on the chart.

• Trade_Buy / Trade_Sell – Enable/disable buys and sells.

• Entry_Signal_Mode

  • KS_AND_CONSENSUS (conservative) ➜ Keltner+Stoch and consensus.

  • KS_ONLY (more active) ➜ Keltner+Stoch signal without consensus.

  • CONSENSUS_ONLY (pure trend) ➜ Consensus only.

• One_Position_Per_Symbol – Prevent multiple positions in normal mode.

? Money Management

• Lots_Pips – Base lot size (and base for the hedging cycle).

• StopLoss_Pips / TakeProfit_Pips – Fixed SL/TP (pips).

• Max_Spread_Pips – Do not trade if the spread exceeds this limit.

• Margin_Reserve_Percent – Free-margin reserve to avoid “No money.”
  The EA automatically adjusts volume to the symbol’s min/step/max and to your available margin (compliant with Market validation).

? Keltner Channels

• KC_EMA_Period – EMA period of the middle band (typical price).

• KC_ATR_Period – ATR period.

• KC_ATR_Mult – Multiplier for upper/lower bands.

? Stochastic

• Stoch_K_Period , Stoch_D_Period , Stoch_Slowing – Standard parameters (14,3,3).

• Stoch_Overbought , Stoch_Oversold – OB/OS levels.

? Consensus Filter (trend)

• EMA_Long – EMA 200 for directional bias.

• ADX_Period / ADX_Threshold – ADX for trend strength.

• MACD_Fast/Slow/Signal – MACD histogram to confirm bias.

? Hedging Martingale (optional)

• Enable_Hedge_Martingale – Turns the loop on.

• Hedge_Step_Pips – Distance (pips) to open a new step from the last entry in the cycle (bi-directional: opens BUY if price rises by the step; SELL if it drops by the step).

• Hedge_Max_Steps – Limit of doublings (risk control).

• Hedge_Lot_Mult – Lot multiplier (e.g., 1.5 or 2.0).

• Hedge_Basket_Target_Money – Money target to close the entire basket.

• Hedge_Block_Normal_Entries – Pause normal entries during an active cycle.

? Quick start (recommended example)

EURUSD – H4 (conservative)

• Entry_Signal_Mode = KS_AND_CONSENSUS

• Lots_Pips = 0.01 (or the symbol minimum)

• TakeProfit_Pips = 40

• StopLoss_Pips = 80

• Max_Spread_Pips = 3.0

• Enable_Hedge_Martingale = false (to begin)

• Draw_Signals_Always = true

• Margin_Reserve_Percent = 30

If you enable Hedging (only if you understand scaling risk):

• Hedge_Step_Pips = 50

• Hedge_Lot_Mult = 1.5 ~ 2.0

• Hedge_Max_Steps = 4 ~ 6

• Hedge_Basket_Target_Money = 3 ~ 10 (per 0.01 lot, as a rough guide)

• Hedging account recommended for true multi-leg coverage.

? Tips and best practices

• Backtest with your broker’s data; then demo; only then live.

• If it “doesn’t open,” check spread, Only_New_Bar , Entry_Signal_Mode , min/step volume, and your free margin.

• On symbols like XAU/XAG, lot steps and spreads can be large: adjust Lots_Pips , Max_Spread_Pips , and Margin_Reserve_Percent .

• Martingale increases risk. Use limits ( Hedge_Max_Steps ) and a realistic basket target.

❓ Quick FAQ

• Can it be used as an indicator without trading?
  Yes. Leave Enable_Hedge_Martingale = false , and you can also turn off Trade_Buy/Sell if you want only visual signals. Keep Draw_Signals_Always = true .

• Does it work on netting?
  Yes. But hedging on netting is netted; for true hedging with opposite legs simultaneously, use a hedging account.

• Does it auto-adjust lot to the broker?
  Yes. The EA rounds to SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP , respects min/max , and also won’t force orders if the margin doesn’t fit (avoids “No money”).
