What is the Trendline EA?
The FXTT Trendline EA is a semi-automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 that bridges the gap between manual chart analysis and automated execution. MetaTrader does not natively support trade placement directly from trendlines — this EA fills that gap entirely.Draw a trendline on any chart, assign an action command in the trendline name, and the EA monitors price around the clock. When price interacts with your trendline, it executes your predefined action — a buy, a sell, a close, or an alert — with no further input required from you.You stay in control of the strategy. The EA handles the execution.How It Works
- Attach the EA to your chart in MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5.
- Draw a trendline using the standard MetaTrader drawing tools.
- Add an action command to the trendline's name (e.g.
SoT SL:100 TP:200 V:0.05). 
- The EA monitors the line continuously and executes the action when triggered.
Supported Trigger Events
Each action command can be triggered by one of four price events:- Touch — price reaches the trendline
- Breakout — price closes or moves beyond the trendline by a defined distance
- Pullback — price breaks through, then returns to the trendline from the other side
- False Breakout — price briefly breaks through then reverses, invalidating the breakout

What This EA Is Not
This is not a fully automated trading system. The Trendline EA will never open a trade unless you have explicitly configured a trendline with an action command. There is no built-in strategy, no signal generation, and no autonomous decision-making. It is a precision execution tool — you provide the analysis, it handles the order placement.Purchase Includes
- Expert Advisor file for MT4 and MT5
- Lifetime free software updates
- Lifetime technical support
- 60-day money-back guarantee
Important Notes
- Testing on a demo account is strongly recommended before live use
- Trading results depend entirely on your trendline placement and configuration
- A VPS is optional but recommended for uninterrupted monitoring
- Review the full documentation and user guide before going live

10 reviews for Trendline EA – Semi-Automated Trading Robot for Breakouts, Pullbacks & Alerts
❓ FAQ
How do BuyOnPullback and SellOnPullback work?
First a candle must close on the opposite side of the trendline. If a later candle returns and touches the line, the EA executes the order.
How do BuyOnFalseBreakout and SellOnFalseBreakout work?
These actions trigger when price breaks through the trendline and then reverses back, forming a false breakout.
Minimum distance filters weak breakouts. If set to 100 points, but price only moves 50 points before returning, no trade will be opened.
What is the difference between the types of breakouts?
- On close of candle: order opens only after the candle closes beyond the trendline.
- On distance in pips: order opens as soon as price exceeds the trendline by the defined number of pips.
Breakout triggered on candle close
Breakout triggered by distance in pips

By far one of the smartest trading tools available. Breakout strategies are the most profitable ones and usually, the breakout happens when you are asleep.
With Carlos EA I can capture those breakouts no matter what time of the day is. Moreover, the developer is extremely dedicated to develop this tool continuously and even to put in some extra help to personalize it.
Thank you, Carlos
5 North Pole Stars for you and your work!!!!

I wish you lots of success. Best regards.

Review for Trendline EA – Automated Trading Robot
Aleš Ridl –
Hi,
Do you have some recommended settings of this EA and backtests on 99.90% data?
Thanks for info
Ales
Carlos Oliveira –
Hi Ales,
Thank you for your comment.
Unfortunately I don’t have any recommended settings or any backtests to share with you because this EA does not trade completely unattended.
It requires that you open your charts and draw your own trendlines.
In this regard it allows you to trade whatever strategy you already have that uses trendlines, but it also makes no sense to share my backtests because they will be different from everybody else.
I hope this answers your question.
Fell free to contact me if you have any more doubts.
Budi Rachmat –
is your product automatic execute order also has stoploss and take profit?, what the guarantee when using this robot is profitable..
Carlos Oliveira –
Hello Mr. Rachmat
The Trendline EA does not trade fully automatically. It requires that you make your analysis and draw the trendlines on the chart.
It works more like a tool that helps you issue commands that MT4 does not support.
In this regard it does not offer any guarantee of profitability since it depends on your trading strategy.

So easy to use and works like a charm. Looking forward to the pro version!

Hello all,
I am here to leave my honest review and comment on the Trendline EA. Anyone who has any doubt or concern, you’re more than welcome to email me about what my experience has been with Carlos Oliveria. Email: viximum@gmail.com
I am a fund manager myself starting out not long ago. I trade with strong discipline and strict risk management. And I’m located in Mountain Time zone which makes it really hard to trade. In order not to, stay up beside computer 1am in the morning every day, I have to find myself a very effective and efficient pending breakout method for a long time. And I end up with FXTT.
There are many breakout methods you can trade depends on what type of aggressive trader you are. So you may use all the different set ups to fine tune your entry point using the powerful tools Carlos has provided. The EA is designed in a very clear to understand way. And it only take seconds to get use to his easy-to-read command lines. And it shows the command right on the line that you just draw and stays there. So you know what you expect to happen with the line that you put on the chart. Straight forward nice and clear.
I have been trading forex for over ten years, and nothing is coming even close to what this EA can offer. It will bring your trading to the next level if you can make the most use of this little tool. You will not regret at a such a low price.
Carlos’s tool allows me to draw the trendline and walk away from the trade. Set up before I go to sleep during Asian session and let the trade to play out itself during EU and US session. It saves me a lot of time for many other things. It’s a hundred percent “Plan the Trade and Trade the Plan”.
Another reason that I’m really happy is how reachable Carlos is. Whenever I email him, he emails me back right away with the answer that I was looking for. He’s very humble and honest that deserves the best. I pointed out a bug to him, and the problem gets fixed right away. And also, whatever is in my mind, Carlos comes back with a modification version that fits my requirement. He is currently developing a powerful version of the trendline EA that gives you the power to do anything that you will possibly need in trading forex.
I highly recommend this product. And you will never feel that you were left behind. Thanks programmer’s effort to make us traders’ life much easier. Thank you Carlos. Keep up with the great job.

I am extremely happy with this EA.
Its simple, intuitive, inexpensive and works. To be able to apply/draw trendlines on a chart and then have trades placed automaticity as price reacts with the levels is a great advantage. It is also very nice to able to test out trading ideas etc.
Carlos has been fast to respond and very helpful with questions as well.

I am most grateful for Carlos’ Trendline EA. This EA has helped me generate consistent profits and works with me as I study my charts. Now I don’t have to wait all night or enter at a wrong time, I set this EA and check back later on when I get an alert.
Carlos does reply quickly to any messages so I am also grateful for his attentive responses.
