The Trend Magic Expert Advisor trades on the signals of the Trend Magic Indicator. The winnings from the trades are increased thanks to a complex take profit system.
It does not use the Martingale system and the grid. Only one order can be opened at a time. Always use a stop loss.
The time when the indicator sends a signal to the Expert Advisor is important for the strategy, so do not forget to correctly configure the UTC (GMT) parameters in accordance with your broker’s time zone!
The trading robot works on any chart and period. The input parameters are optimized for the EURUSD M5 chart.
