Are you ready to take your trading game to the next level? Let’s dive into the Trend Reversal Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 4! This nifty tool employs naked trading and price action strategies to help you spot trend reversals.


The Trend Reversal EA draws four trend lines based on fractals—two main lines and two smaller ones—right on your chart. It’s designed to trade only when the price action aligns with these trend reversals. Plus, it comes equipped with a trailing stop loss and take profit feature that works seamlessly across all time frames and with major forex pairs and NASDAQ stocks.


Key Features

  • Always start with a demo account to test it out before risking real money.
  • This EA operates exclusively with the price of the open candle!
  • If you prefer to avoid increasing your lot size after a loss, set IncreaseFactor=0.
  • This EA combines simple moving averages and trend lines for a robust trading strategy.
  • Note that trend lines won’t function in test mode.
  • Optimization tests can only be run using moving averages.
  • In live trading, both the trend lines and moving averages will work together to enhance your strategy.
  • During backtesting, the EA will only display the trend lines visually without using them in trade creation.
  • The trend lines serve as filters, boosting your chances of winning trades.
