Trendlock EA is a breakout expert advisor for MetaTrader 5. It watches for recent swing points and places pending stop orders beyond them, aiming to join a move once price pushes through a level. It is aimed mainly at gold, but it also has modes for Forex pairs, Bitcoin and US indices.
On each new bar the EA looks at the latest swing high and swing low. It can place a Buy Stop above the high and a Sell Stop below the low. It allows at most one order per direction, so it does not stack up pending orders on the same side. Each position carries a stop loss, a take profit and a trailing stop from the moment it opens.
Lot size can be calculated from a percentage of balance and the stop-loss distance, with a maximum lot cap and margin checks. A daily loss limit stops new orders once reached and can optionally close open positions. Its status is kept after the terminal restarts. An auto cut loss function can close trades when the loss passes a set number of points or when a price gap occurs. Order placement respects the broker's stops level and freeze level and retries after requotes.
The news filter does not run in the Strategy Tester, because the calendar is not available there.
The recommended timeframes are M15 to H1. A hedging account is advised, since on netting accounts opposite orders can offset each other. The EA identifies instruments by symbol keywords, so check that they match the names your broker uses for gold, Bitcoin and indices such as US30 or NAS100.
Exact values depend on the instrument and broker, so review each input before you trade. The main groups are listed below.
| Input group | What to check |
|---|---|
| Instrument mode | Choose the mode that matches the chart symbol |
| Risk and lot size | Balance percentage, maximum lot, margin checks |
| Stop loss and take profit | Points for Forex, percentage for other modes |
| Daily loss limit | Limit size and whether to close all positions |
| Filters | Hours, spread, news, RSI, moving average distance |
| Symbol keywords | Must match your broker's symbol names |
Trading carries risk and you can lose part or all of your capital. Past results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and use position sizes you can afford.
If you want the news filter, allow the Economic Calendar in your terminal. Always check behaviour on a demo account before going live.

No reviews yet. Customers who own Trendlock EA can review it here.
No. It is built for MetaTrader 5 and will not load in MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 terminal and a broker that offers MT5 accounts.
A hedging account is recommended. On a netting account, buy and sell orders on the same symbol can offset each other, which changes how the strategy behaves.
Only if the symbol keywords in the settings match your broker's naming. Brokers add suffixes or use different names for gold, Bitcoin and indices, so compare the keywords with the symbols in your Market Watch and edit them if needed.
No. The filter relies on the MT5 Economic Calendar, which is not available in the tester, so backtests run without it. Keep that in mind when you compare test results with live or demo behaviour.
The strategy is designed to be tuned per instrument, so a settings file is useful as a starting point. Check the product page or contact the store about what is supplied, and always review each input yourself before trading.
Yes. Run a backtest and then a demo account on your own broker first. Spreads, stop levels and execution differ between brokers, and trading carries risk.
