Hello,
My very first release.
Maybe some bugs still here.

Hello,
Second step:
Same strategy as the strategy of the first step, but there is also the possibility of trader shorts.
By a switch should be allowed to choose only a long strategy, exclusively short, or make hedging.
Participate in this second step
Even if you post your answer later mine.
It will give me the feeling that this project is of interest to people other than me.
The ideal is to submit a full code.
What criteria are you using to identify the upper and lower limits of the neutral area and the other areas ?
Hello,
It's a semi-automatic stuff.
You have to do your work before use this EA.
It's your choice to choose where is the upper, lower, etc.

Hello,
Third step:
Same strategy as the strategy of the second step, but it is possible to trade a channel.
Actually I did try a similar one like the one above but honestly, you have to monitor the opened trades because when there are sudden movements, you gonna loss lots of pips. It is never meant to be as set and go.
