Strong Cow EA – Powerful Forex Trading Robot 🐄💹

"Trade like a bull, lock profits like a vault!"

📌 Overview

Strong Cow EA is a MetaTrader 4 (MT4) Expert Advisor designed for forex trading, focusing on risk management, trailing stops, and news filtering. It uses a volatility-based strategy combined with technical indicators (MA, Bollinger Bands, Envelopes) to enter trades. The EA also includes event-based trading restrictions to avoid high-impact news events.

⚙️ How It Works

The EA operates based on:

Indicator-Based Entry – Uses Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, or Envelopes to determine trade direction.

Volatility Filter – Avoids trading when market volatility exceeds set limits.

Hidden & Server SL/TP Modes – Can work with broker-side SL/TP or client-side virtual stops.

Trailing Stop & Profit Lock – Adjusts stops to lock in profits as the trade moves favorably.

Forex Factory News Filter – Avoids trading around high-impact economic news events.

🔧 Key Settings & Configuration

1. Money Management (MM) & Risk

mm = TRUE/FALSE → Enables/disables automatic lot sizing.

TrailingStopMethod → Options:

TS_NONE (No trailing)

TS_STEP_BY_STEP (Slow trailing)

TrailingStop = 5 → Distance for trailing activation (points).

TrailingStep = 1 → Step size for trailing adjustments.

LockProfitAfter = 20 → Activates profit lock after X points.

ProfitLock = 15 → Locks X points in profit once triggered.

4. News & Event Filtering
