Forex Trend Detector is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that looks for volatility breakouts and trades in the direction of the resulting price impulse. It runs fully automatically on the M5 chart and is aimed at EURUSD and GBPUSD.
The EA waits for price to move out of a quiet range with enough momentum to suggest a directional move. When that happens it opens a position with the breakout. Each trade is managed with a stop loss, a take profit and an optional trailing stop. A timed exit can also close a position after a set number of minutes, depending on its profit or loss in pips.
The developer describes a drawdown compensation routine and protections against wide spreads and heavy slippage. The exact logic is not published in full, so judge the behaviour from your own tests rather than from the description.
The inputs below are the ones we know of. Check the full list inside the EA on your own terminal, because some inputs are not covered here and default values may differ by symbol.
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| LongTrades / ShortTrades | Allow or block buy and sell trades |
| Magic | Identifier the EA uses to recognise its own positions |
| EA_Comment | Text note attached to the EA's trades |
| MaxSpread / MaxSlippage | Upper limits, in standard 4-digit pips |
| StealthMode | Keeps stop loss and take profit inside the EA instead of on the server |
| TakeProfit / StopLoss | Fixed distances in standard 4-digit pips |
| TrailingStop / StartTrailStop | Trailing distance and the profit at which trailing begins |
| SafeExitMinutes / SafeProfit | Time-based exit tied to a profit or loss threshold in pips |
If you enable StealthMode, protective orders do not exist on the broker's server. A lost connection or a stopped EA leaves open trades unprotected, so use a stable connection or a VPS.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your deposit. Past results, including backtests and any published live statistics, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and size positions so that a losing run does not threaten your account.
Before going live, check your broker's typical spread and minimum deposit requirements, then adjust MaxSpread and your lot size to match.

This listing is the MT5 build and it will not run on MetaTrader 4. The developer publishes a separate MT4 edition, so check that you choose the one that matches your platform.
The EA is intended for the M5 chart on EURUSD and GBPUSD. The default inputs are tuned for EURUSD. For GBPUSD the developer provides a separate preset file, so load that preset instead of using the defaults. Other symbols are not described as supported.
The developer states the EA is meant to run without optimisation, but you should still test it yourself. Run a backtest on M5 using every tick, then forward test on a demo account with your own broker before using real funds.
It runs on any MT5 broker that offers the supported symbols, but spreads, execution speed and slippage differ between brokers. Use the MaxSpread and MaxSlippage inputs to match your account type, and confirm the symbol names in Market Watch.
With StealthMode on, the stop loss and take profit are managed inside the EA and are not placed on the broker's server. If your terminal disconnects or the EA stops, those positions have no server-side protection. Keep it off if you cannot guarantee a stable connection.
In MT5 choose File, then Open Data Folder, and open MQL5 and then Experts. Copy the EA file there, refresh the Navigator or restart the terminal, drag the EA onto an M5 chart, and make sure Algo Trading is switched on.
