Ichimoku Retracement EA: Entry Timing and Risk Controls

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This listing describes an automated trading system that seeks entries on retracements from Ichimoku levels. It says the system uses the current candle’s opening price and can run on multiple timeframes across major forex pairs and Nasdaq-listed stocks. Its settings cover fixed or money- and percentage-based profit targets, trailing stops, break-even behavior, and closing trades when the trend turns against the position.

Risk and exposure controls include lot size, maximum trade count, an equity stop, and an option to increase position size after a losing trade. The listing advises using a demo account first and provides suggested setting ranges, but it does not explain the precise entry logic, how Ichimoku levels are selected, or how settings interact. It reports no backtest, live results, drawdown history, or transaction-cost assumptions. Consequently, the description is useful as an overview of the EA’s stated features, but it is insufficient to assess its performance or risk in a particular market.
