Cyclone Trend Rider EA – User Guide
1. Strategy Overview
The Cyclone Trend Rider EA combines three core indicators to identify strong trend entries:
• Moving Averages (Fast & Slow) – Detects the overall trend direction.
• ADX (Average Directional Index) – Confirms the strength of the trend, with optional DI
(+DI/–DI) direction filtering.
• MACD Histogram – Triggers entry on momentum shifts via histogram crossovers
above/below zero.
Trades are executed only when:
• Fast MA > Slow MA, ADX strong, MACD crosses up → Buy
• Fast MA < Slow MA, ADX strong, MACD crosses down → Sell
2. Input Parameters
Moving Average (Trend Filter)
• MA Type – SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA.
• Fast MA Period – Default: 20.
• Slow MA Period – Default: 50.
• Applied Price – Price type for MA calculation.
ADX Filter
• ADX Period – Default: 14.
• Min ADX – Minimum ADX value to confirm a strong trend.
• Use DI Direction – If true, requires +DI > –DI for buys and vice versa.
MACD (Momentum Trigger)
• Fast EMA – Default: 12.
• Slow EMA – Default: 26.
• Signal Period – Default: 9.
Risk & Trade Management• Use Risk % – If enabled, lot size is calculated by account balance and SL distance.
• Risk % per Trade – Percentage of balance risked (e.g., 1.0 = 1%).
• Fixed Lot – Used if risk % is disabled.
• Stop Loss (points) – Default: 600.
• Take Profit (points) – Default: 1200.
Trailing Stop
• Enable Trailing – True/False.
• Trail Start (points) – Profit required before trailing begins.
• Trail Distance (points) – Distance from price to SL.
• Trail Step (points) – Minimum movement before SL is updated.
3. How It Works
1. EA waits for trend confirmation (Fast MA vs. Slow MA).
2. Checks ADX strength (above Min ADX).
3. Confirms momentum shift with MACD Histogram crossover.
4. Opens trade if spread/cooldown filters allow.
5. Applies Stop Loss / Take Profit automatically.
6. Manages open trades with trailing stop if enabled.
