GAMMA and DELTA Modules User Guide SET files are at the end of this page
Overview
GAMMA and DELTA modules are part of our HELLENIC module library in AvA-8. These modules implement complementary trading strategies:
DELTA Module: Exclusively executes BUY orders (long positions)
GAMMA Module: Exclusively executes SELL orders (short positions)
Both modules feature an identical 12-level structure for sophisticated position management.
Module Structure
Level System
Each module contains 12 configurable trading levels that operate in sequence:
Level 1 (Initiating Level): Enters as a market order based on the selected initiation method
Levels 2-12: Enter as pending limit orders, one after another, based on entry point distances
Order Placement Logic
Level 1: Placed as a market order when initiation conditions are met
Levels 2-12: Placed as pending limit orders after previous level activates
Entry Points (EP): Measured in points from the previous level's entry price
Sequential Activation: Higher numbered levels only become active when lower levels are filled
Level Configuration
Each level shares the same parameter structure:
Level 1 (Initiating Level) Parameters
CopyLEVEL_DELTA/GAMMA_1 = "LEVEL DELTA/GAMMA 1"
TRADE_DELTA/GAMMA_1 = true/false // Enable/disable this level
LOT_DELTA/GAMMA_1 = 0.0 // Position size (0.0 activates dynamic sizing)
TP_DELTA/GAMMA_1 = 0 // Take profit in points
TP_DELTA/GAMMA_1_follow = true/false // Whether TP adjusts with higher levels
Levels 2-12 Parameters
CopyLEVEL_DELTA/GAMMA_n = "LEVEL DELTA/GAMMA n"
TRADE_DELTA/GAMMA_n = true/false // Enable/disable this level
LOT_DELTA/GAMMA_n = 0.0 // Position size (0.0 activates dynamic sizing)
EP_DELTA/GAMMA_n = 0 // Entry point distance from previous level
TP_DELTA/GAMMA_n = 0 // Take profit in points
TP_DELTA/GAMMA_n_follow = true/false // Whether TP adjusts with higher levels
Note: Level 12 doesn't have TP_follow since it's the highest level.
Dynamic Lot Sizing
Both modules support three lot sizing methods:
Fixed Size: Uses the specified lot value for each level
Money-Based:
DynLot_MoneyStart: Starting money amount
DynLot_MoneyStep: Money step between levels
DynLot_LotRatioStart: Initial lot multiplier
DynLot_LotRatioStep: Multiplier increase per level
DynLot_ApplyTo: Account metric to use (Balance, Equity, or Free Margin)
Percentage-Based:
LotPercentage: Percentage of selected account metric to trade
Take Profit and Stop Loss Management
Both modules implement modular risk management:
Take Profit Modes
NONE: No take profit
AMOUNT: Fixed dollar amount (e.g., $100)
PERCENTAGE: Percentage of account equity (e.g., 2%)
Stop Loss Modes
NONE: No stop loss
AMOUNT: Fixed dollar amount (e.g., $50)
PERCENTAGE: Percentage of account equity (e.g., 1%)
Trailing Stop
NONE: No trailing stop
AMOUNT: Dollar amount-based trailing
TrailingStopAmount: Distance to maintain from price
TrailingStartAmount: Profit required to activate trailing
TrailingIncrement: Step size for trail adjustments
Initiation Methods
Each module can be triggered through various methods:
NO_TRADING: Module disabled
ON_TICK: Enters on the first tick after placement
ON_PSAR: Enters when PSAR indicator gives a signal
DELTA: When PSAR crosses below price (bullish)
GAMMA: When PSAR crosses above price (bearish)
ON_ADX: Enters based on ADX trend strength and direction
DELTA: When ADX shows uptrend (+DI > -DI)
GAMMA: When ADX shows downtrend (-DI > +DI)
ON_ZONE: Enters when price enters support/resistance zones
DELTA: When price is in demand zones
GAMMA: When price is in supply zones
ON_CPR: Enters based on Central Pivot Range signals
ON_ALL_IND: Requires all indicators to align for entry
Filter Systems
Multiple filters can refine entry conditions:
ADX Filter Modes
ADX_FILTER_OFF: No ADX filtering
ADX_FILTER_WEAK: Requires ADX > 15
ADX_FILTER_MODERATE: Requires ADX > 25
ADX_FILTER_STRONG: Requires ADX > 50
ADX_FILTER_VERY_STRONG: Requires ADX > 75
ADX_FILTER_EXTREME: Requires ADX > 90
RSI Filter Modes
RSI_FILTER_OFF: No RSI filtering
RSI_FILTER_STRICT: Uses 20/80 boundaries
RSI_FILTER_NORMAL: Uses 30/70 boundaries
RSI_FILTER_LOOSE: Uses 40/60 boundaries
CPR Filter Modes
CPR_FILTER_OFF: No CPR filtering
CPR_FILTER_BASIC: Simple CPR level check
CPR_FILTER_TREND: CPR trend direction only
CPR_FILTER_BREAKOUT: Narrow CPR breakout strategy
CPR_FILTER_RANGE: Wide CPR range trading strategy
Practical Applications
Trend Following Strategy
Enable DELTA in uptrends (with ADX/PSAR confirmation)
Enable GAMMA in downtrends (with ADX/PSAR confirmation)
Use TP_follow to create cascading take profits
Scalping Configuration
Set small TP values (10-20 points)
Disable higher levels (2-12)
Use ON_TICK or ON_PSAR for quick entries
Grid Trading Approach
Enable multiple levels (3-7)
Set appropriate EP distances (20-50 points between levels)
Use money-based dynamic lot sizing for position scaling
Risk Management
Implement module SL/TP rather than per-level SL
Use percentage-based SL for account protection
Enable trailing stops to protect profits
Dashboard Monitoring
Both modules provide visual feedback through the dashboard:
Active levels and their status
Current profit/loss
Position volumes
Filter conditions
Integration with Other Modules
Use with EQUALIZER for overall risk management
PATHFINDER can provide signal confirmation
ZONES module helps identify optimal entry areas
