Euro Hedge was originally created only to trade EURUSD, but later it turned out to be also suitable for use on GBPUSD and XAUUSD.


Euro Hedge uses 8 strategies:
1. Hedging: The bot will open long and short positions continuously
2. Averaging: The bot will open a position if the initial position is lost
3. Pyramiding: The bot will open a position if the initial position is profitable
4. Martingale Lot: The bot will open a position with a larger lot if the initial position is lost.
5. Anti Martingale Lot: The bot will open a position with a larger lot if the initial position is profitable.
6. Pending Order: The bot will open a pending order position when the minimum target open position is reached. The goal is to speed up recovery.
7. Trailing by money and by percentage: You can choose to use trailing by money or by percentage  balance , or both run at the same time.

8. Close Partial by money and percentage: You can choose to use close partial by money or percentage, or both run at the same time.

Weaknesses of the Martingale and how to fix it in the Euro Hedge version:
The use of Martingale can be very dangerous if the trend does not reverse direction, so it should be accompanied by opening hedging positions with Anti Martingale lots to anticipate it.
Added with the ability to close partial, the recovery process will be faster.

However, here I will not only talk about the strengths of the Euro Hedge, but also the weaknesses. Why? Because this ensures what is being faced more clearly and can anticipate and take appropriate action so as not to be wrong in its use.

Strengths:
+ Very stable in dealing with all market conditions: Sideway, ranging, spike, trending. Because the bot will open hedging positions continuously and do partial closing.

Weaknesses :
+ Requires a large enough free margin to ensure the bot can still open hedging positions with growing lots.
+ Very sensitive to slippage and spread, because it will cause a close loss if the broker's slippage is too large.

Backtest and Forward Test

I've posted the setfile below this article, I'm sure you've downloaded it?
If you have, you can do backtesting by modeling 1 minute ohlc, start balance 5k.
Backtesting period 2020-2021.

For the early stages of live trading, try to use a demo account before moving on to a real account.
Make sure you use 5 demo accounts with these settings:
1 Demo account for EURUSD.
1 Demo account for GBPUSD.
1 Demo account for XAUUSD.
1 Demo account for EURUSD and GBPUSD.
1 demo account for EURUSD, GBPUSD and XAUUSD.
The demo account is used to ensure compatibility between the system offered by Euro Hedge and the system from the broker.
Because not all brokers have the same characteristics in terms of requotes, stop levels, freeze levels, spreads and speed of order fulfillment.
Don't forget to use a VPS.

Euro Hedge provides a feature to monitor the condition of the internet connection speed with the broker's server.

inet

inet2

A poor internet connection will affect the results of live trading.If you find a problem like the picture above, there are 2 possible causes, which can be from the broker's server or from the internet connection on the vps. If you find a problem like that, immediately change your vps or the broker you are using.

Continue New Cycyle

continue new cycle= false, expert advisor will still manage open positions.
"Manage" means that it will keep opening and closing positions as needed until all positions close and will not open a new cycle after that

Manage Pending Orders

mpend

Euro Hedge will do a partial close to get a profit, and sometimes the partial close makes the buy and sell hedging positions unbalanced, for example, there are only buy or sell positions.
Euro Hedge prepares Pending Order algorithms to overcome that.
Pending order will be active if the buy or sell position reaches the "Number of trade to start Pending Order" target, the bot will automatically place a pending order.
ehp

lock

Lock by Drawdown/loss in money/loss in pips,
The bot will open a locking position according to the number of lots experiencing floating loss.
The drawdown calculation only includes the current chart.
Lock will be distributed evenly by opening positions opposite the number of open positions that experienced a drawdown/loss in money/loss in pips.
Example: 5 open positions buy a total of 5 lots, then the bot will open 5 open sell positions with a total of 5 lots in the initial stage.
Next stage the bot will continue to open hedge positions while doing partial closes.
The hedging position will only be opened once, if it has been partially closed, the bot will not reopen the position.


Manage Drawdown Reduction

cp2

+ Close partial buy & sell: partial close by bringing 1 buy loss & 1 sell loss
+ Close partial buy / sell: partial close by bringing only 1 buy loss or 1 sell loss.
+ Close partial all: A combination of close partial buy & sell and close partial buy / sell.


The difference between Close Partial 1 and 2 in Auto Close Partial, in percentage

cp

Close partial 1 includes the calculation of the last 2 positions to calculate the minimum profit needed to close the first losing position.
Recommended minimum profit 1st percentage last position profit to close partial 2: 40-50%, and minimum profit 2nd last position profit to close partial 2: 60-70%
Close partial 2 calculates the total profit of all the last positions to close the first losing position. The percentage is recommended between 0.5-1%

Difference between Real Tick and 1 minute ohlc modeling

Real tick fetches price every tick.
1 minute ohlc modeling fetches prices only at second : 0,20,40, and 59.
1 minute OHLC does not mean Open, High, Low and Close prices on a 1 minute timeframe, the picture below can provide a better explanation:

ohlc

With this knowledge, I created a code to make the bot fetch prices at anchor points 0,20,40, and 59 with a deviation of 3 seconds , but in real trade the deviation from the anchor point is still depends on the speed of the internet vps and the broker's servers.

Suggestions for using bots:

+ Before using it on a standard account, I highly recommend to use a cent account for a trial first, If the broker does not have a cent account, use a demo account. In addition, to ensure the compatibility of the system offered by Euro Hedge with the system at your broker. Because not all brokers have the same characteristics, both in the speed of order fulfillment, slippage, spread, freezelevel and stoplevel.  It is very important to be able to find a broker who has consistency between backtest, demo and real trade. Although backtest and real trade will not be 100% the same, but at least not so much different.  

+ Limit your trading hours. Only trade in Asian sessions. You can adjust trading hours by using the manage news cycle feature. If you do not understand how, you can contact me, I will help you to set trading hours.

Recommended Brokers:
