Script Name: Zero-Lag MA Trend Following Auto-Trading

Purpose and Unique Features:
This script is designed to implement a trend-following auto-trading strategy by combining the Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and ATR Bands. To differentiate it from similar scripts, the following key aspects are emphasized:



Zero-Lag MA (ZLMA):

Responds quickly to price changes, minimizing lag compared to EMA.
Detects crossovers with EMA and generates Diamond Signals to indicate trend reversals.



ATR Bands:

Measures market volatility to set stop-loss levels.
Helps optimize entry points and manage risk effectively.



Diamond Signals:

A vital visual cue indicating the early stages of trend reversals.
Green diamonds signal an uptrend, while red diamonds signal a downtrend.
Each component plays a distinct role, working synergistically to enhance trend detection and risk management. This system doesn’t merely combine indicators but optimizes them for comprehensive trend-following and risk control.

Usage Instructions:
Entry Conditions:

Long Entry:
Enter when a green Diamond Signal appears (ZLMA crosses above EMA).

Short Entry:

Exit Conditions:

Stop Loss:
Set at the lower boundary of the ATR band for BUY or the upper boundary for SELL at entry.

Take Profit:
Automatically executed based on a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.


Account Size: ¥100,0000
Commissions and Slippage: Assumed commission of 90 pips per trade and slippage of 1 pip.
Risk per Trade: 10% of account equity (adjustable based on risk tolerance).
