"1% Loss" Expert Advisor - Comprehensive Guide

"Trade Smart, Limit Losses – Consistent Growth with Controlled Risk!"

1. Overview

The "1% Loss" EA is a MetaTrader 4 (MT4) Expert Advisor developed by R.KH 1001. It is designed to limit losses while maximizing profits using a martingale-like recovery system combined with technical indicators (SAR & MA).

This EA focuses on risk management (1% loss rule) and scaling in/out strategies, making it suitable for forex traders who want to minimize drawdowns while compounding gains.

2. Key Features

✔ Martingale-like Recovery – Increases lot sizes after losing trades (Multiplier).

✔ Technical Indicators – Uses Parabolic SAR (SAR) and Moving Average (MA) for trade signals.

✔ Risk Management – Implements 1% loss rule on equity deviation.

✔ Take Profit & Stop Loss – Secures profits with fixed TakeProfit and dynamic adjustments.

✔ Time & Day Filters – Trades only on specific days/hours (Jumlah_Hari_Trade, Waktu_Tamat).

Equity Protection – Monitors 1% loss rule to prevent excessive drawdowns.
