Accelerator Forex EA Settings for Entries, Stops, and Position Sizing

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This product description outlines an automated trading system that uses an “Accelerator” indicator and trades from the open price of a candle. It says the EA is intended for major forex pairs and NASDAQ stocks, across timeframes, and recommends trying it on a demo account first. Its settings cover fixed and increasing lot sizes, stop loss and take profit, money or percentage profit targets, and trailing stops for one or multiple trades.

The description also lists fast and slow moving average parameters, an equity-based drawdown control, a maximum trade count, and options to move a stop to breakeven or trail by candle distance. It warns that the lot increase feature can be disabled by setting its factor to zero. However, it gives no entry or exit rules beyond the indicator reference and open-candle statement, and provides no performance evidence, testing details, or explanation of how the settings interact. The listed ranges are configuration examples, not validated recommendations.
