Both trend-following and counter-trend trading, this is the one and only.

HalfTrend Dual-Strategy EA

―― The best of both worlds: “Automatic with auto-pilot” and “You control it” ――

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Do you have these concerns?

・ You don’t have time to stare at charts and miss entry opportunities

・ Automated trading (EA) seems convenient, but “totally left to it” is a bit worrisome

・ You’re always unsure whether trend-following or counter-trend is better

・ Even when profits appear, you’re unsure about the exit timing

This article is for people with such concerns,

Introducing “HalfTrend Dual-Strategy EA”

in the simplest possible terms and plain language.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

What is an EA in the first place?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

EA (Expert Advisor) is, in simple terms,

“a program that automatically buys and sells according to pre-set rules.”

Just by attaching it to trading software called MetaTrader 5 (MT5),

while you’re sleeping or at work,

it automatically finds the right situations and enters/exits trades according to the rules.

This EA brings that convenience of automation together with

the ability to operate it manually via on-chart buttons,

a “semi-automatic” type of EA.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Three appealing points of this EA

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

───────────────────────────────

【Point 1】 Two strategies, trend-following and counter-trend, in one

───────────────────────────────

Most EAs are either “trend-following” or “counter-trend.”

This EA uses a tool called “HalfTrend” to assess the trend and

● follow the trend (trend-following)

● aim for a trend reversal (counter-break)

and can operate these two at the same time.

You can switch between one or the other, or both,

with a single click to match your market view or preference.

───────────────────────────────

【Point 2】 A mechanism to lock in profits in 3 stages

───────────────────────────────

“I made a profit, but if I’m greedy it can disappear…”

Haven’t you experienced that?

This EA splits a single entry into up to 3 parts,

1) Take profit early (50%)

2) Secure profits at the midpoint (30%)

3) Let the trend continue to extend (20%)

and gradually lock in profits.

Furthermore, after the first profit is realized, the initial stop loss is automatically moved to the break-even point,

so that profits are less likely to turn into losses.

───────────────────────────────

【Point 3】 Decide by risk, not by amount used

───────────────────────────────

For beginners, the most confusing thing is the “lot size” (trade volume).

This EA automatically calculates the appropriate trade size by deciding how much risk (as a percentage of your funds) you are willing to take per trade.

For example, if you set it to 2%, even if you hit a stop loss, the loss will be limited to about 2% of your account.

It enables emotion-free, mechanical money management.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The system is easy with “3 steps”

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

STEP 1 【Find】

HalfTrend determines the direction of the trend and turning points,

and automatically identifies opportunities.

STEP 2 【Enter】

If the rules of trend-following or counter-trend apply, it automatically enters with the calculated amount by risk%, up to 3 entries.

STEP 3 【Protect and Grow】

Early partial profit-taking → move SL to break-even → rest is managed by trailing to extend gains while protecting profits where possible.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Additionally, features to further increase peace of mind

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

◆ Filter to prevent over-trading

When spreads are wide, immediately after stop loss, or during unsuitable times,

the EA automatically skips entering. Reduces reckless trading.

◆ An intervention panel you can use anytime

From the chart’s top-left panel, switch strategies, close all positions, move stop losses,

and other actions with one click. Handles sudden market movements.

◆ A design that moves as tested

Engineered so that past data tests and real moves align closely,

so you can test with confidence before starting.
