About this EA

The Fisherman EA hunts for short counter-trend moves inside a bigger trend. Different filters set the trend direction. Before opening a trade, the EA waits for a move against the trend — and uses those retracements as the entry trigger.

You get full control over lot size and trade management. Close everything at a specific time of day, or let the management logic finish the job. Download it and run your first backtests in the MT5 Strategy Tester.
