Terminal: MT4

Preferred pairs: All

Timeframe: Any

Fractal Guard EA is an MT4 Expert Advisor that protects your trades by automatically trailing stop-losses to the most recent Bill Williams fractal highs and lows. Instead of fixed pips or step trailing, it follows the natural swing points of the market, turning fractals into logical stop-loss levels that secure profits and limit losses.

How Does Fractal Guard EA Work?

• BUY trades → SL trails below the most recent lower fractal.

• SELL trades → SL trails above the most recent upper fractal.

• The EA only moves stops forward (never backward), respecting risk management rules.

• Once in profit, the EA updates stops automatically with each new fractal that forms.

This keeps trades safe while giving them room to grow in the direction of the trend.
