Trend Following Systems · MetaTrader 5
Ten systematic Expert Advisors and indicators built on proven trend following principles. No martingale. No curve fitting. No fantasy numbers. Just disciplined, rules-based systems designed to compound steadily across Metals, Crypto, Equities, Agriculture, Commodities, Forex and Indices.
The Philosophy
The MQL5 marketplace is full of systems showing 1,000%+ returns on micro accounts with hidden deposits and martingale logic. These numbers are fantasy, and experienced traders know it.
My systems are built on a different premise entirely. Inspired by the Turtle Traders and systematic trend following principles used by professional CTAs, they operate on daily timeframes across diversified markets — letting genuine trends do the work while strict ATR-based risk management protects the account.
Expect flat periods. Expect drawdowns. Expect steady compounding over time. That is what real trend following looks like, and it is why it has worked for decades.
A trend following system will not double your account in a month. It will not win 90% of its trades. It will sit flat for weeks, take small losses, and then capture one large move that makes the year. That is not a bug — it is the strategy.
What makes these different
Every system uses Average True Range to size positions and set stop losses dynamically. Risk adapts to market volatility — not fixed pips that ignore real conditions.
All signals are calculated on closed candles. What you see in backtesting is exactly what you would have experienced trading live. No hindsight bias, no illusions.
Operating on daily bars eliminates spread noise, reduces overtrading, and captures macro trends. This is how institutional trend followers have operated for 40 years.
Lot sizes are calculated as a percentage of current balance, defaulting to 1% risk per trade. The system grows with your account and shrinks during drawdown automatically.
Metals, Crypto, Equities, Agriculture, Commodities, Forex, Indices. Run these systems across a diversified portfolio of uncorrelated markets to smooth the equity curve without changing the logic.
Low drawdown profile and disciplined risk rules mean these systems are well-suited for FTMO and similar funded account challenges that penalise aggressive strategies.

The Person Behind The Systems
I have 8 years of experience in trading. I am a trend follower and I trade mostly using the Turtles method. Because the markets have changed since the 1980s, I use longer periods for breakouts and trail stops, no pyramiding, and a bigger ATR multiple as stop loss.
Before trading based on a new method or a new set of parameters I backtest — and so should you. Every EA I publish has been tested thoroughly before it reaches the market. The parameters you see are not optimised to look good on paper — they reflect how I believe these systems should be run in real market conditions.
I publish articles on MQL5 and make videos on YouTube and TikTok about systematic trading. If you have questions about any of the systems, feel free to reach out directly.
