FX Trend Trading with Heiken Ashi, SMA, and ATR Take Profit

Summary

This document outlines an automated foreign exchange trend strategy that combines a simple moving average with Heiken Ashi candles. It says the system uses the indicators to trade in the direction of a market trend and sets the take profit using the previous bar’s ATR(14) value. No entry thresholds, position sizing rules, market selection details, or performance results are provided, so the description is not enough to reproduce or assess the strategy fully.

The author notes that the robot has no stop loss, break-even adjustment, or trailing stop. That leaves losses without a stated protective exit and makes the approach’s risk controls unclear. The document recommends trying it in a demo account or strategy tester and presents the source as material for coders to adapt. It offers no test data or comparison showing whether the indicator combination has an edge.
