Forex Trend Hunter's Trading Strategy

Added to being a fully automated, adaptable and customizable, a user friendly and a compatible Forex robot with all broker and account types including US based ones, Forex Trend Hunter has many other useful features the most interesting of which are:

  • Trend Identification: Uses momentum filters to detect medium- and long-term trends.
  • Entry & Exit Rules: Opens trades on breakout or retracement signals; closes positions based on ATR targets or trailing stops.
  • Money Management: Scales position size per risk percentage; adjusts lots automatically.
  • Drawdown Protection: Limits daily and total drawdown via customizable equity thresholds.
  • Recovery System: Engages grid or martingale tiers under controlled conditions to recoup losses.

MetaTrader Parameters of Forex Trend Hunter

  • Risk Percentage: Adjustable per trade (e.g., 0.5%–2%)
  • Max Daily Drawdown: Equity limit before disabling new trades
  • Max Total Drawdown: Overall equity protection threshold
  • Recovery Mode: On/Off toggle with step multiplier settings
  • Currency Filters: Enable/disable specific symbols
  • ATR Period & Multiplier: Controls volatility-based targets

Bottom Line

Forex Trend Hunter is a trend following, long term profiting, and not an Asian scalper Forex robot, so it trades regardless of the broker trading conditions or spread widening.

Economically, compared to the majority of Forex robots available in the market nowadays, Forex Trend Hunter is of low affordable price, and beside being available as a limited demo version for downloading before buying the fully functioning version, this can encourage traders who seek a low risk investment to get started with no delay!

Overall, Forex Trend Hunter from Automated Forex Tools delivers a comprehensive trend-following expert advisor solution with robust risk controls and recovery features. Its verified live performance and extensive backtests make it a viable option for traders seeking hands-free, long-term growth.

Risk

Forex trading can involve the risk of loss beyond your initial deposit. It is not suitable for all investors and you should make sure you understand the risks involved, seeking independent advice if necessary.

Forex accounts typically offer various degrees of leverage and their elevated profit potential is counterbalanced by an equally high level of risk. You should never risk more than you are prepared to lose and you should carefully take into consideration your trading experience.
