1. Start of trading

1.1 Attach the Expert Advisor to the chart by setting the parameters Open New Series=false and Show Trend panel on the chart=true.

1.2 Market situation analysis:

    1.2.1 Upcoming news on the NEWS panel. If important news is expected to be released in the near future, it is better to wait until the market processes them and start trading later.

    1.2.2 Trend direction on the current timeframe and especially on those: H1, D1. It is important to determine the direction of trading: it is safer to trade in the direction of the trend if it is expected. To do this, you need to set the corresponding values of the Trade SELL and Trade BUY buttons and set the Use automatic direction selection option. If you leave the Automatic Trading Direction to be used, the Expert Advisor will switch trading permissions to SELL and buy depending on the trend on the current timeframe.

    1.2.3 You can take into account the signal of the reversal indicator, its current value is displayed on the panel of the current gain.

1.3 Decide how the order groups will be closed: the "Take maximum profit" button. Immediately after crossing the TP line or taking into account the trend for maximum profit.

1.4 Analyze the values of the maximum and minimum spread in the increment panel. If the values are very different, it is necessary to exclude the opening of orders at an unfavorable moment. To do this, you need to set the value of the "Maximum spread for opening orders" parameter.
1.5 To start trading, set the Open New Series - ON button.

1.6 If the ADVISER did not immediately open an order in the right direction, you can click the "SELL" or "BUY" button to force open the order.

2. Using the "SELL" and "BUY" buttons

Pressing these buttons immediately opens the corresponding order, the lot size of which is set in the lot size input fields under the buttons (you can adjust it before clicking). At the same time, the lot size in the input fields below does not change. To recalculate the lot sizes in the input fields of the next order, depending on the number of open orders, use the R button. Orders opened by buttons are included in the work of the Adviser's trading algorithm on a general basis. It should be borne in mind that the Expert Advisor's trading algorithm is self-sufficient and does not require the trader to open additional orders. However, it is possible to operate when the opening of new sessions and permission to open new orders are disabled in the settings, then the adviser will wait for orders from the trader using the "SELL" and "BUY" buttons to accompany them in order to close the series with a profit in accordance with the specified parameter.

3. Intensive trade mode

The Intensive trade trading mode consists in an additional opening of an order in the direction of a successful transaction immediately after closing, if the number of orders in the series does not exceed 2. This allows you to collect profits well when the market is trending.

4. Hedge order, Hedging

There are two buttons: Hedge 2000 and Hedge Order. Enabling the first one makes it possible to open a hedging order to an adviser who is waiting for the right moment. The second one immediately opens a hedging order. A hedging order has a stop loss and take profit.
The hedging algorithm consists in opening an order in the opposite direction with a loss-making one when the drawdown reaches the equity value to activate the hedge. The order size is calculated as the sum of the volumes of all unprofitable orders multiplied by the Increment Factor of the hedge order lot. The trailing mode of a hedge order is possible if the value of the Trailing Step of the hedge order is greater than 0. All orders will be closed when the drawdown decreases to the deposit at the start of hedging.

Use Use Hedge = true; for an initial deposit of more than $1,000.

5. The end of trading

5.1 Set the Open New Series - OFF button. The EA will work until it closes an open series of orders.

5.2 Disable the "Get maximum profit" button. In this case, the EA will close the series faster.

5.3 Turn on the break-even button. In this case, the EA will close the series as soon as the market crosses the break-even line. The series will close at breakeven.
6. Profit

Periodically, you should withdraw part of the deposit as it increases. A deposit of $1000 (lot 0.01) is enough for the ADVISER to work.

When you have withdrawn 100% of the deposit amount, all subsequent withdrawals can be considered profit.
