About DeMark TrendLine Trader

The DeMark TrendLine Trader is a systematic trendline breakout trading system for MetaTrader 4, available on the MQL5 Market (product/129512). It is based on the Tom DeMark trendline methodology — one of the most respected and objectively-defined trendline systems in professional technical analysis. Unlike hand-drawn subjective trendlines, DeMark's approach uses strict, rule-based logic to identify TD Resistance Lines (drawn over recent swing highs) and TD Support Lines (drawn under recent swing lows).

The trading logic is equally rule-based: a bullish breakout trade is entered when price closes above a TD Resistance Line; a bearish breakout trade is entered when price closes below a TD Support Line. Stop Loss placement is also defined by the DeMark system — just below the breakout line for longs, just above for shorts. This complete rules-based structure removes subjective interpretation and makes the system fully back-testable and automatable.
