Quick ATR Trade: Fast one-click MT5 entries with ATR trailing stops and control

This Quick ATR Trade review provides a focused 2026 performance analysis of a semi-manual MT5 expert advisor developed by Andreas Metzner. The review examines how Quick ATR Trade automates stop loss placement based on Average True Range and transitions that stop into a trailing stop, while the trader retains manual control over entries. In testing, the combination of one-click execution and ATR-derived stops produced repeatable stop distances tied to recent volatility rather than fixed pip values, which helps normalize risk across different symbols and timeframes. What makes Quick ATR Trade unique is the hybrid design: it intentionally leaves the entry decision to the trader and then applies systematic, volatility-adaptive risk management. The EA computes an initial stop using an ATR multiplier and moves the stop as price action confirms the trade, effectively allowing the initial stop to act as the first trailing level. The algorithm works best in trending to moderately volatile markets, where ATR provides meaningful stop distances and the trailing logic captures extended moves. In low-vol environments the stops tighten and trade frequency can fall, while in very noisy chop the trailing stop may exit earlier. Risk management is clear and configurable: position sizing is based on percentage risk of account, default ATR multipliers are adjustable, and the panel displays current risk per trade before execution. Expected performance characteristics are moderate trade frequency with emphasis on positive expectancy via disciplined stop placement rather than aggressive position adding. Quick ATR Trade appears most effective when used on major FX pairs and liquid CFDs on MT5 accounts, and Andreas Metzner has prioritized transparency and parameter clarity in the design.
