SwingCyborg: Human-Directed Trend Trading with RSI and Risk Modes

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

SwingCyborg is an expert advisor for automating medium- and long-term trades whose trend start and end are chosen by a human. The user provides those turning points, and the software manages the trading continuously. It includes three money-management settings, labeled low, medium, and high, which represent different levels of aggressiveness. The description advises backtesting these settings on the chosen asset before selecting one.

The advisor also uses RSI to avoid trading when markets are overbought or oversold, and it says it simulates the MT5 position system while running on MT4 build 600. An example on CADJPY is mentioned for a historical period, but no performance figures or testing methodology are supplied. The approach therefore depends on discretionary trend timing, and the brief description does not explain RSI thresholds, risk calculations, or how the three modes differ in practice.

Key ideas

  • The trader manually identifies when a medium- or long-term trend begins and ends.
  • The advisor automates trade management based on those human inputs.
  • Three money-management modes provide different levels of aggressiveness.
  • RSI is used to avoid trading in overbought or oversold conditions.
  • The document recommends testing aggressiveness settings by asset but provides no measured performance evidence.
