Fractals and Alligator Expert Advisor with Trailing Stops and Position Scaling

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes an automated trading system based on Fractals and Alligator indicators, with settings for take profit, stop loss, trailing exits, and break-even adjustments. It says the system is intended for daily charts on major forex pairs and Nasdaq stocks, and can be configured for one trade or multiple trades. The listed inputs cover moving-average periods, fractal counts, trade limits, equity drawdown controls, and position-size increases after losses.

The description recommends demo use and periodic optimization, but provides no entry rules in enough detail to reproduce the strategy and no backtest results. Increasing position size after losses can change exposure substantially; the document includes a setting to disable that behavior. Its suggested markets and timeframe are claims of intended use, not evidence of profitability or robustness.

Key ideas

  • The expert advisor combines Fractals and Alligator indicators with configurable trade exits.
  • Settings include take profit, stop loss, trailing stops, break-even movement, and equity risk controls.
  • It supports single-trade and multiple-trade configurations, with an option to increase size after losses.
  • The stated intended markets are major forex pairs and Nasdaq stocks on daily charts.
  • No reproducible entry specification or performance evidence is provided.
