Executor Candles is an innovative trading tool designed for MetaTrader 5 that identifies various candlestick patterns to help you make informed trading decisions. This EA operates with both BUY and SELL positions, and it’s essential to set individual parameters for Take Profit, Stop Loss, and Trailing for each position. Plus, it’s built to maintain only one open position at a time, which means it’s versatile enough to work on both hedging and netting accounts.

One of the standout features of this EA is the option to enable or disable trend identification based on the first bar of the Main timeframe. Let’s take a closer look at how the Off "Main timeframe" setting impacts your trades, using EURUSD on the H1 chart as an example:
