Pulse Hunter EA – User Guide
1. Overview
Pulse Hunter EA is an automated trading system for MetaTrader 5 that combines MACD,
Stochastic Oscillator, and an ATR filter to identify trend reversals with volatility confirmation.
• MACD provides trend direction and momentum.
• Stochastic confirms overbought/oversold conditions.
• ATR (Average True Range) filters out low-volatility environments and defines Stop
Loss, Take Profit, and Trailing Stop dynamically.
This EA is designed for swing and short-term trading on major Forex pairs, commodities (e.g.,
Gold), and indices.
