Trendline PRO Is Live: Visual Trade EA

Trendline PRO, a new MT5 Expert Advisor for visual traders — draw entry, breakout and close lines on the chart and let the EA execute them.

Trendline PRO Is Live: Visual Trade EA

You already know where you want to trade. The problem is the click. You're away from the screen when price touches the level. You enter late, after the move. You forget to move the stop to breakeven. You trail inconsistently. You close the wrong size. Not because you don't know better. It's because manual execution under pressure is hard to do consistently, every single time. Trendline PRO is a new MT5 trendline EA that fixes the execution layer. You draw the setup on the chart. The EA monitors it and executes (or alerts you) when the condition is met.

What This MT5 Trendline EA Does

It's a semi-automated MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor for chart traders. You keep the analysis. The MT5 trendline EA handles execution. It doesn't tell you where to trade. It doesn't generate signals. It doesn't have a built-in strategy. It handles the execution layer: the part where most manual traders lose consistency. Trading is disabled by default. Nothing happens until you decide it should.

How It Works

Add a line from the panel. Move it to where you want to act. Set your risk. Let the EA watch it. That's the core loop. Seven buttons on the chart panel cover the main line types: Add Buy Line opens an entry on an upward price cross, and Add Buy BO opens a buy breakout confirmed by a candle close above the line. Add Sell Line and Add Sell BO mirror those on the downside, an entry on a downward cross or a confirmed breakout below the line. Close All closes matching positions when price crosses, Set Alert monitors without placing trades, and Clear All Lines removes every assistant line from the chart.

Lines are interactive. You drag them. You resize the TP and SL zones by dragging the handles. You select a line to see its controls, and deselect to keep the chart clean.

Ways to Open a Trade

An entry line makes two choices: which side it trades, and what counts as price getting there. Six trigger rules, each one available as a buy line or a sell line, plus a linked pair that watches both sides at once.

On the chartTriggerWhat opens the trade
Buy lines
Chart showing a buy line firing where price crosses it upwardBuy on touchMid-price crosses the line upward and the buy opens. Tick-based, no waiting for the candle to finish.
Chart showing a candle opening below the line and closing above itBuy on breakoutThe candle has to open below the line and close above it. A wick through the level opens nothing. An optional minimum distance in pips makes the close clear the line by a margin.
Chart showing a candle straddling the line and then a candle whose open and close both sit above it, opening the buyBuy on full-bar breakoutStricter than a plain breakout: open and close both have to sit above the line, which filters out bars that straddle it.
Chart showing price running a set distance above the line and triggering before the candle closesBuy on distance breakoutNo waiting for the close at all. Price has to run a set distance above the line, and the buy goes in the moment it does.
Chart showing a closed buy breakout followed by a wick back down to the line that opens the tradeBuy on pullbackA closed breakout above the line arms it. Within the next few candles (two by default) a wick back down to the line opens the buy; you can require that candle to close above the line instead.
Chart showing a candle whose wick pierces below the line before closing back above itBuy on false breakoutThe candle opens and closes above the line, but its wick pierces below and comes back. The buy goes in at the close, once the level has held.
Sell lines
Chart showing a sell line firing where price crosses it downwardSell on touchPrice crosses the line downward and the sell opens, on the tick rather than the close.
Chart showing a candle opening above the line and closing below itSell on breakoutThe candle opens above the line and closes below it before the sell goes on. The same optional pip margin applies.
Chart showing a candle straddling the line and then a candle whose open and close both sit below it, opening the sellSell on full-bar breakoutOpen and close both have to finish under the line, so a bar that only dips below it is ignored.
Chart showing price running a set distance below the line and triggering before the candle closesSell on distance breakoutPrice has to run the set distance below the line, and the sell goes in intrabar, the moment the distance is covered.
Chart showing a closed sell breakout followed by a wick back up to the line that opens the tradeSell on pullbackOnce a candle has closed below the line, a wick back up to it opens the sell inside the same window of candles.
Chart showing a candle whose wick spikes above the line before closing back below itSell on false breakoutThe candle opens and closes below the line while its wick spikes above it. The sell goes in at the close.
Both sides at once
Chart showing a linked buy line above and sell line below, the untriggered side cancelledOCO pairA buy line above and a sell line below, linked. Whichever side triggers first opens the trade; the other line is removed automatically.

The trigger is set per line, so a touch line and a full-bar breakout line can sit on the same chart. Any of them can run in alert mode instead: same logic, notification only, no order.

Tick Cross or Candle Close

Standard entry lines trigger when price crosses. Fast, tick-based, good for levels where you trust a touch. Breakout lines wait for candle-body confirmation. A buy breakout only fires after a completed candle opens below the line and closes above it. A sell breakout does the opposite. Useful when you've been burned by wick touches that reverse immediately. You choose per line which behavior you want.

Left: a standard buy line fires the moment price crosses. Right: a buy breakout line ignores the wick touch and only fires when a candle closes above the line.

Visual Risk Planning

TP and SL aren't numbers you type into a box after entry. They're zones you see on the chart before the trade triggers. Green zone above the line for take-profit. Red zone below for stop-loss. Both show pip and money values. Both update in real time as you drag them into position. TP and SL zones can be sloped; they don't have to be flat levels. If your trade plan follows an angled structure, the zones follow it too. You set one endpoint, then the other, independently. You can see the risk/reward ratio before anything happens. That's the point.

TP and SL zones sit on the chart before the trade triggers: flat around a level, or sloped to follow an angled structure.

Auto-Breakeven and Trailing Stop

Both are configured per line, before the trade triggers. Auto-breakeven shows as two lines on the chart: an orange trigger line and a dark-red lock-in line. You drag each to set the distances. When price reaches the trigger, the EA moves the stop. You set up the rule once; it executes without you. Trailing stop has four settings: enabled state, start distance, step, and trail distance. All defined in advance. The EA applies them after entry. No improvising. No "I'll move the stop when I remember to." The rule is already set.

Left: once price has run far enough, the stop jumps from its initial level up to breakeven. Right: the trailing stop steps up behind the move, using the start, step and trail distances you set in advance.

Close Lines and Partial Close

Close lines work like entry lines, but for exits. Add a close line at a price level. When price crosses it, the EA closes matching positions. You choose the volume: all positions, or a specific partial size. Partial close volume follows symbol volume rules: minimum, maximum, and step. The line badge shows what will happen, either "Close All" or "Close (0.05)", so there's no ambiguity. Plan your exit the same way you plan your entry: visually, before the fact.

Alert Lines

Not ready to let the EA trade yet? Use alert lines instead. Same line logic, no orders placed. You get notified when price reaches the level; you decide what to do next. Start with alerts on every setup. Watch how the EA monitors price. Enable trading only when you trust what you've seen.

Left: a close line exits the position (all of it, or a partial volume) when price crosses. Right: an alert line watches the same way but places no orders; you get the notification and decide.

Execution Safety

Before placing any order, this MT5 trendline EA checks:

  • Spread is within your configured maximum
  • Volume is valid for the symbol (min, max, step)
  • Margin is sufficient before any order is sent

If any check fails, no order is placed. Trading also requires MT5 Algo Trading to be enabled: the EA won't act if MetaTrader's own execution switch is off. Magic number support keeps Trendline PRO trades separate from other EAs on the same account.

What It Is Not

It does not generate signals. It does not know where price will go. It does not have a built-in edge. It's a rules-only tool, not a black-box system or a set-and-forget robot. Every rule you use came from you. It does not work on MT4. This is an MT5-only Expert Advisor.

Who It Is For

Discretionary traders who use trendlines, support and resistance, or breakout levels on MT5 charts. Traders who miss entries when they're away from the screen. Traders who execute manually but not consistently. If you already know what setup you want, this MT5 trendline EA handles the when and how.

Who It Is Not For

Traders looking for signals. Traders who want a hands-off system that finds trades independently. Traders not on MT5. Traders who want guaranteed results from a tool. If you're looking for something to tell you what to trade, this isn't it.
