Loss Recovery Trader MT5

Attempts to recover losing trades.

If a trade moves in the wrong direction, the Zone Recovery algorithm begins.

An alternating series of Buy and Sell trades at two specific levels take place, with two Exit Points above and beyond these levels.

Once either of the two exit points is reached, all trades close with a combined profit or break even.
