Overview

A trend-following strategy built on the Parabolic SAR flip, filtered by trend and momentum. It enters when SAR flips to the trend side and uses the SAR dots themselves as a dynamic trailing stop, staying in trends until the SAR flips back.

Features

• Parabolic SAR (step 0.02, max 0.2)
• EMA100 (trend filter)
• ADX(14) to avoid ranges
• Configurable stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing logic
• Session, spread, and news-time filters for disciplined execution
• One-trade-per-bar / duplicate-signal protection
• Clean, single-file MQL4 and MQL5 implementations
• No hidden logic — every input is exposed and documented
• No martingale, no grid, no hidden recovery logic

Trading Strategy

Entry logic: – Long: SAR flips below price (bullish flip) while price > EMA100 and ADX > 20. Enter on flip bar close.

• Short: SAR flips above price while price 20.

Exit logic: – Exit on the opposite SAR flip (also serves as the stop mechanism).

Stop-loss: Initial SL at the SAR dot; hard cap at 2 × ATR to limit gap risk.

Take-profit: No fixed TP; ride until SAR flip. Optional partial at 2R.

Trailing stop: Use the SAR dots as the trailing stop, updated each closed bar.

Break-even: Break-even at 1R (SAR usually catches up quickly).

Why it works: Built-in trailing stop keeps you in trends.; Simple, mechanical logic..
