Momentum Shift EA

Momentum Shift EA

Momentum Shift EA is an automated trading system developed specifically for the  USDJPY pair on the  H1 timeframe. Its core strategy is based on identifying potential market turning points and capitalizing on shifts in momentum. The EA is designed to operate on a counter-trend basis, seeking to enter trades when the current market direction shows signs of exhaustion.

By analyzing a combination of classic technical indicators, the EA aims to find high-probability entry points against the prevailing short-term trend. This approach allows it to target corrective moves and potential reversals in the market.

Strategy

The EA employs a multi-indicator confirmation system to filter its trading signals. The strategy integrates the following tools:

• Parabolic SAR: Used to identify potential trend reversals which serve as the primary trigger for trade entries. It is also used as the basis for a dynamic trailing stop to manage open positions.

• Awesome Oscillator (AO): This indicator helps to confirm shifts in market momentum. The EA looks for specific patterns in the AO to validate the signals generated by the Parabolic SAR.

• Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI acts as a final filter, ensuring that trades are only considered in overbought or oversold market conditions, which aligns with the EA's reversal-based logic.

• Average True Range (ATR): The EA analyzes market volatility using the ATR to ensure that conditions are suitable for trading, avoiding periods of excessively low or high volatility.

Key Features

• Fully Automatic Risk Management: The EA automatically calculates the appropriate lot size for each trade based on your specified risk percentage and the dynamic stop loss. This removes complex calculations and helps maintain consistent risk exposure.

• Dynamic Trailing Stop: Open positions are managed with a trailing stop that follows the Parabolic SAR indicator. This feature is designed to secure profits as the market moves in a favorable direction while protecting against sudden reversals.

• Advanced Protection Mechanisms: The system includes sophisticated functions for trade management:

  • Profit Protection: An intelligent function monitors profitable trades. If a trade reaches a significant portion of its take profit target and then starts to reverse, the EA will close the position to secure the floating profit.

  • Capital Protection: A built-in mechanism monitors the loss on any single trade in relation to your account balance and risk setting, providing an additional layer of capital preservation.

• Optimized for USDJPY: The EA's internal logic and parameters have been developed with the specific market characteristics and behavior of the USDJPY pair in mind.
