Trend Bottom Catcher is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades in the direction of the prevailing trend but only after price has pulled back. It does not enter on a breakout burst; it waits for a retracement into a defined zone and then looks for an entry.
The EA assesses trend on two timeframes and only acts when both agree.
Once both conditions hold, the EA waits for price to retrace into the area between the EMA and the Bollinger mid line. In an uptrend that means looking to buy a dip; in a downtrend it means looking to sell a bounce.
Each position is opened with a stop-loss and take-profit already set. The stop is placed at a fractal swing point, and the target is either the opposite swing point or a configured risk-reward multiple. While a trade is open the EA can move to breakeven, trail the stop, trail along swing points, exit when price reverts to a moving average after reaching a reward target, and close positions on a daily or weekly schedule. A panel on the chart shows total and daily profit and loss.
The trend and entry timeframes are both inputs, so you can change them to suit the symbol. Gold, forex pairs, indices, commodities and crypto CFDs are all candidates, depending on what your broker offers. The trend timeframe needs several hundred bars of history to compute the EMA stack, so make sure that data is loaded.
Exact names and defaults can differ between builds, so read the input descriptions in the terminal and test them on a demo account first. The main groups are:
| Group | What to check |
|---|---|
| Timeframes | Trend and entry timeframe selection |
| Indicators | EMA periods and Bollinger Bands parameters |
| Stop and target | Swing-point detection, take-profit mode, risk-reward ratio, minimum ratio |
| Filters | Breakout confirmation and engulfing filter |
| Management | Breakeven, trailing, swing trailing, moving average exit |
| Position size | Lot size or risk setting and margin limit |
| Schedule | Daily and weekly closing times |
The EA places each trade with a defined stop, but stops can be filled at worse prices during fast markets or gaps, and spreads and swaps vary by broker. Because it waits for specific conditions, the number of trades will change with market conditions, and there may be quiet periods.
Trading carries risk and losses are possible. Past results, including any live signal or backtest, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account before using real funds and only risk money you can afford to lose.
A VPS is advisable if you want the EA to run continuously through the trading week.

No. This listing is an MT5 expert advisor and will not load in MetaTrader 4. It also needs an MT5 account that uses the hedging position mode, so check your account type with your broker before buying.
The EA reads a higher trend timeframe and a lower entry timeframe, and both can be changed in the inputs. It can be applied to gold, forex pairs, indices, commodities and crypto symbols where your broker offers them. Test each symbol on a demo account, because spreads, contract sizes and trading hours differ between brokers.
Copy the expert advisor file into the MQL5/Experts folder via File > Open Data Folder in MetaTrader 5, refresh the Navigator or restart the terminal, then drag the EA onto a chart. Make sure Algo Trading is enabled in the toolbar and that automated trading is allowed in the EA's properties.
Yes, the trend timeframe needs a few hundred bars loaded to calculate the full EMA cascade. Scroll back through the chart or allow the terminal to download history before you start, and confirm the required amount in the input descriptions.
The EA only works while the terminal is running and connected, so a VPS is a practical way to keep it online during market hours. It is not strictly required if your computer and connection stay stable.
That depends on your broker, the symbol and the lot size or risk setting you choose. The EA includes a margin check before entry. Test on a demo account with a balance and leverage similar to your live one, and review the position size inputs before going live.
