Script Name: Zero-Lag MA Trend Following Auto-Trading
Purpose and Unique Features: This script is designed to implement a trend-following auto-trading strategy by combining the Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and ATR Bands. To differentiate it from similar scripts, the following key aspects are emphasized:
Zero-Lag MA (ZLMA):
Responds quickly to price changes, minimizing lag compared to EMA. Detects crossovers with EMA and generates Diamond Signals to indicate trend reversals.
ATR Bands:
Measures market volatility to set stop-loss levels. Helps optimize entry points and manage risk effectively.
Diamond Signals:
A vital visual cue indicating the early stages of trend reversals. Green diamonds signal an uptrend, while red diamonds signal a downtrend. Each component plays a distinct role, working synergistically to enhance trend detection and risk management. This system doesn’t merely combine indicators but optimizes them for comprehensive trend-following and risk control.
Usage Instructions: Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: Enter when a green Diamond Signal appears (ZLMA crosses above EMA).
Short Entry: Enter when a red Diamond Signal appears (ZLMA crosses below EMA). Exit Conditions:
Stop Loss: Set at the lower boundary of the ATR band for BUY or the upper boundary for SELL at entry.
Take Profit: Automatically executed based on a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Account Size: ¥100,0000 Commissions and Slippage: Assumed commission of 90 pips per trade and slippage of 1 pip. Risk per Trade: 10% of account equity (adjustable based on risk tolerance).
Improvements and Original Features: While based on open-source code, this script incorporates the following critical enhancements:
Diamond Signals from ZLMA and EMA Integration:
Improves entry accuracy with a proprietary trend detection strategy.
ATR Bands Utilization:
Adds a volatility-based risk management function.
Optimized Visual Entry Signals:
Includes plotted triangles (▲, ▼) to clearly indicate trend-following entry points.
