Stop Reverse EA 10.2
Metatrader Expert Advisor (MT4/MT5)
-
ℹ Overview
The Stop and Reverse EA turns your losing trades into winners using a sequential and controlled martingale: it places sequential trades with increasing lot sizes until the initial trade is recovered, plus a small profit. It offers a complete trading framework, from managing initial trades to recovery.
- Easy to set up and supervise
- Trade easily using chart buttons and controls
- Controlled and pre-calculated risk exposure
- Implements many automated entry strategies
- It is able to trade using custom indicators
- All orders are placed with a stop-loss
- Trades micro accounts from $1,000
- Filter trading by forex sessions
Once a trade is taken, it is managed independently to avoid performing a recovery at all.
- First, the EA tries to perform break-even to assure capital preservation.
- Secondly, the EA applies a configurable trailing stop and take profit.
- If the trade goes straight into negative, the EA performs a recovery.
The martingale recovery will succeed in most instances and fail in a minority of cases.

Usage Tips

- There is no need to set a different Magic Number to trade different symbols
- Trade from a VPS or leave your trading computer turned on 24/5
- Try to never unload the EA to assure the atomicity of the martingale
- You can change the martingale behavior on the fly at any time
- If possible, trade from a fixed spread account

This EA offers a complete hassle-free trading framework. Once configured, it allows simple trading from the chart buttons: buy and sell.

Since it can recover trades in alternative directions or in the same direction, it becomes a powerful and flexible trading companion.
