Cross-Platform Expert Advisor: Money Management

7. Conclusion 

Money management is a common feature in expert advisors. It allows an expert advisor to dynamically determine the lot size for the next trade to be entered. In this article, we will introduce several money management classes that would allow us to automate the entire process of trade volume calculation in a cross-platform expert advisor.

Same idea as with other: if you have a good idea for a Trading System? Post here and we will develop it (all ideas will be evaluated first).

A lot of good trading system, but we just select the appropriate with us. Correct money management is a major part of a good and correct trading strategy.

[Angelito Cartagena]

Every strategy posted herein can bring profits to our account as long that you take the time to test and tweak it to your preferred settings, it is important that traders will not jump from one strategy to another, because a good strategy should be developed and tested for a hundred trades or more, another thing about success in trading is the implementation because no matter how good your strategy is if you cannot follow the rule consistently it will still not yield the expected results. Good strategy, risk management and proper implementation must be present all the time for your trading to achieve success.

Grr-al - expert for MetaTrader 5

It uses the knowledge about the M1 OHLC tick generation algorithm in Strategy Tester of MetaTrader 5: If the price began to decrease after the new bar opening, it is guaranteed that it will increase in the next price change and vice versa.

It uses the possibility to read the OHLC ticks (using onTimer event), generated by Startegy Tester in "Open prices only" and "1 minute OHLC".

Linuxser:

I believe it's a bit more complicated than divergences.

I've read the explanations and rules. I think it's a very smart idea. I'm so impressed. It can be a strong tool for who want to develop their own trading systems.

Many thanks for sharing!
