Exp - Swing Pendulum or Swing Algorithm

SWING

The model of the well-known strategy Pendulum is the sequential opening of pending orders with an increased lot.

The principle is two pending orders are placed and when one order is activated, the second order is re-pending before the whole basket is closed by take-profit.

There are three types of opening pending orders in our advisor!

1. Auto-opening after installation (  Instant opening AutoTrade )
2. Opening and maintenance after manual opening (  Manual opening ManualTrade )
3. Opening on the High Low  levels (  High Low for the past bar TFTrade )

At startup, the advisor sets two Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders at a distance of StopOrderDeltaifUSE from the current price. If Buy Stop worked, Sell Stop is deleted and is set on its place Sell Stop with BuyStop * Martin lot. If Sell Stop is triggered, Buy Stop is deleted and on its place installed Buy Stop with the Sell Stop * Martin lot.

When the take-profit is achieved, all orders are deleted and everything starts again!

To achieve the swing effect, the parameters StopOrderDeltaifUSE and StopLoss must be equal.

Use cases

In our advisor there are three types of opening pending orders!

1. Auto-open after installation,
2. Opening and maintenance after a manual opening
3. Opening on High Low!

TypeofTrade - Choosing an Expert Advisor Trading Mode!

We made the Expert Advisor which worked in 3 different types. Let us examine them in more detail:

AutoTrade or opening after installation :

In this mode, the advisor works to maintain the manual positions:

Algorithm:

1. At startup, the advisor sets two Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders at a distance of StopOrderDeltaifUSE from the current price.
2. If Buy Stop worked, Sell Stop is deleted and set on its place Sell Stop with BuyStop * Martin lot.
3. If Sell Stop is triggered, Buy Stop is deleted and on its place is installed  Buy Stop with the Sell Stop * Martin lot.
4. If the position receives a loss, then the current series is considered not closed! And the advisor continues work with the algorithm!
5. If the position received a take-profit, then the position is closed and everything starts again.

Result of work:

ManualTrade or tracking after manual opening :

In this mode, the EA waits for the trader to open the position using our  panel for the EAPADPRO advisor

Algorithm:

1. On startup, the Expert Advisor waits until the user opens the position from our  EAPADPRO panel.
2. Only after the trader opens the position using our panel, the advisor will put the opposite pending order, while the take-profit and stop-loss will be modified according to the system settings
3. If Buy is open, is set Sell Stop with Buy * Martin lot.
4. If Sell is open, is installed Buy Stop with the Sell * Martin lot.
5. If the position receives a loss, then the current series is considered not closed! And the advisor continues to work with the algorithm!
6. If the position received a take-profit, then the position is closed and everything starts again.
7. The advisor stops his work until the trader opens a new position.

Result of work:

TFTrade or work on High Low levels :

In this mode, the Expert Advisor works in the High and Low levels set by the variables:

TFTrade_PERIOD = PERIOD_D1; - Timeframe, according to which the advisor will determine the levels of High Low 
TFTrade_Num = 1; - The number of bars to determine the level.

Code:

StopOrdersDistance = (iHigh (Symbol (), TFTrade_PERIOD, iHighest (Symbol (), TFTrade_PERIOD, MODE_HIGH, TFTrade_Num, 1)) -iLow (Symbol (), TFTrade_PERIOD, iLowest (Symbol (), TFTrade_PERIOD, MODE_LOW, TFTrade_Num, 1))) / MarketInfo (Symbol (), MODE_POINT);

Algorithm:

1. At startup, the Expert Advisor calculates the HIGH and LOW levels according to the set TimeFrame.
2. Using the formula, the EA calculates the distance and places two pending orders Buy Stop and Sell Stop at a distance StopOrderDeltaifUSE from the current price
3. If Buy Stop worked, Sell Stop is deleted and is set in its place Sell Stop with BuyStop * Martin lot.
4. If Sell Stop is triggered, Buy Stop is deleted and  is installed in its place Buy Stop with the Sell Stop * Martin lot.
5. If the position receives a loss, then the current series is considered not closed! And the advisor continues to work with the algorithm!
6. If the position received a take-profit, then the position is closed and everything starts again.

Optimization tips

We created this adviser on the pendulum algorithm. And the logic of the Expert Advisor's work is designed to perform a mathematical algorithm.

Therefore, all parameters are automatically configured, except for the distance between two pending orders.

You can optimize all the parameters, but we will give some recommendations:

Optimization for TypeofTrade = Manual Trade and AutoTrade

Manual Trade - Maintenance of manual opening

Auto Trade - Constant opening of pending orders

It makes sense to optimize only the parameters:  StopOrdersDistance, MaxOrders and Martingale

Optimization of  StopOrdersDistance  values  : It is recommended to set parameters individually for each pair.

1. For example : If this is the EURUSD currency pair and you trade on the M30 period and the average price movement in the period, for example, 50 bars = 7500 points, then set this parameter for optimization as: start 0, step 100, stop 1000.
2. For example : If this is the XUGUSD currency pair and you trade on the M1 period and the average price movement in the period, for example, 50 bars = 100 points, then set this parameter for optimization so: start 0, step 10, stop 100.
3. For example : you need confirmation of the opening signal, and the average price movement in the period, for example 100 bars = 1000 points, then start 0, step 50, stop 500.

Optimizing  MaxOrders  : In this parameter, you can specify the maximum number of knees in a series of orders, so as not to loss your deposit.

1. Start = 0; Step = 1; Stop = 10;

Optimizing  Martingale  values  : In this parameter, you can specify an increase in the lot of the next pending router.

Start = 0.1 (If Lots> Minimum lot ); Step = 0.1; Stop = 2;

1. If  Martin is less than 1, then each next position and its lot will be less than the previous one.
2. Values ​​less than 1 it makes sense to use only when the  Lots    positions is more than the minimum lot on the server.
3. If  Martin is more than 1, then each next position and its lot will be larger than the previous one.
4. The higher the value of  Martin , the more dangerous the trade adviser.
5. Martingale is a very simple and dangerous strategy.

The difference from ManualTrade is that with manual accompaniment, the adviser performs the task of closing a series of orders in profit and stops the work.

Optimization for TypeofTrade = TFTrade

TF Trade -

In this mode, the Expert Advisor works in the High and Low levels set by the variables:

TFTrade_PERIOD = PERIOD_D1; - Timeframe, according to which the advisor will determine the levels of High Low 
TFTrade_Num = 1; - The number of bars to determine the level.

It makes sense to optimize only the parameters:  TFTrade_PERIOD, TFTrade_Num

Optimizing  TFTrade_PERIOD  values  : This is the period by which the High and Low levels are built

1. Start = Period_M1; Stop = Period_D1;

Optimization of  TFTrade_Num  values  : The number of last bars, to determine the levels

1. Start = 0; Step = 1; Stop = 10;
