The Expert Advisor searches for N identical candlesticks in a row. It buys on bullish candlesticks and sells on bearish ones. The EA checks if the account is netting or hedging. The CPositionInfo, CTrade, CSymbolInfo and CAccountInfo trade classes are used in the code.


New in version 6

Added types of closure when a "black sheep" is met:

  • Closing all positions.
  • Closing positions, which are opposite to the "black sheep".
  • Closing positions, which are in the same direction as the "black sheep".


"Black Sheep"

Suppose, the Expert Advisor searches for 5 identical candlesticks. Then the EA finds five bullish candlestick in a row and opens a Buy position. If the next candlestick after the position opening is not a bullish one, such a candlestick is considered a "black sheep".

  • Lot - position volume.
  • Take Profit - take profit value, the parameter is not used if set to 0.
  • Stop Loss - stop loss value, the parameter is not used if set to 0.
  • Trailing Stop - trailing stop value, the parameter is not used if set to 0.
  • Trailing Step - trailing step value, the parameter is not used if set to 0.
