If you're looking to enhance your trading game, the pSAR Bug 5 Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 4 is a fantastic tool to consider. Designed to execute trades based on the first signal from the Parabolic SAR indicator, this EA offers a customizable trading experience that caters to your specific needs.

Key Features:

  • Customizable stop loss, take profit, trailing stop, and lot size settings for opening trades.
  • Performance depends on your chosen parameters, so you can fine-tune it for your strategy.

Important Note:

To ensure everything runs smoothly, it's essential to adjust the SAR indicator's "Step" and "Maximum" values to match those of the EA. While the EA can function without the indicator, aligning these settings will provide a more accurate visual representation. For example, if you set the EA's step to the default (0.001) but leave the SAR's step at (0.02), you might think the EA hasn't triggered an order. In reality, the virtual SAR with a step of 0.001 hasn’t provided a signal yet.

If the EA fails to open an order and an error appears in the journal, that's your cue to investigate further. Stay updated by checking this page regularly!
