Gladiator Swing EA – User Guide
1. Strategy Overview
Gladiator Swing EA is designed for swing trading using a combination of:
• RSI (Relative Strength Index) to detect overbought/oversold reversals
• Support/Resistance (recent highs and lows) to confirm entry zones
• ATR (Average True Range) for dynamic Stop Loss and Take Profit management
The EA trades one position per symbol at a time, with advanced risk management including
risk-based lot sizing, breakeven, and ATR trailing stop.
2. Entry Logic
• Buy Conditions
o RSI crosses upward from below the oversold level
o Price is close to recent Support (within defined proximity)
• Sell Conditions
o RSI crosses downward from above the overbought level
o Price is close to recent Resistance
3. Exit Logic
• Stop Loss (SL): set dynamically as ATR * SL_Multiplier
• Take Profit (TP): set dynamically as ATR * TP_Multiplier
• Breakeven Option: SL moves to entry price after price moves in favor by ATR * Trigger
• Trailing Stop Option: SL trails behind price at distance of ATR * Multiplier
