In my opinion, a trader's ideas are not theoretical formulas (there are plenty of them), but tested in demo or real trading, but definitely in online trading. Because otherwise, the value of such ideas is nothing. It turns out that your ideas need to be polished in on-line trading, and it is not the programmer's, but the trader's job.
Everyone has to do their job.
A trader's idea has to go through a test run. MTS is written to be used for its fine-tuning, polishing, optimization, and so on.
I'm willing to babysit him if he lets me, asking a bunch of clarifying questions. I promise not to call him a stupid lamer :).
Will you allow me to babysit you by answering a bunch of clarifying questions? :-)))
I will...
Here's an idea... I read a similar one in Currency Speculator. Let's take the midline and start buying from the bottom and selling from the top.
Suppose the price is falling, we buy below the average line every 100 p. Then when the price is above the average line we also close bought positions by a staircase and then sell ... again, every 10 p. A question is to choose the size of this staircase and the average line ... Of course the stop-loss system is risky... but if you diversify into several currencies and play only on swaps... it may come out well... you can also use options instead of spot... then the risks are lower... but there are downsides... The average does not stand still, isn't it easier to buy above the average, sell below the average, if so, this algorithm has long been implemented (MT-4). If you mean locked positions, when playing in the channel, you may fall into a long-term drawdown (the price went out of the channel) and then you cannot exit the lock without losses.
I'm not going to deny that it's the right way to play.... It's just an idea... it can be tested...
Here's another idea... Let's take a flat pair. Say the pound euro... if you look at the weekly candlesticks it's been flat for a long time... ... let's divide this range in two parts up and down... go lower and buy every 50 pips higher for example and sell... go buy every 50 pips higher with a 50 pips profit... No stops (we close if the base figure shows a breakthrough... or if there is a breakthrough)... ... we can also choose the optimal grid size... if this pair stays there for another year... the profit may be very good...
How is it different... they are two different things....:))) if you look carefully...

I think a trader's ideas can be considered not theoretical (there are plenty of them), but tested in demo or real, but necessarily online trading. Because otherwise, the value of such ideas is nothing. It turns out that your ideas need to be polished in on-line trading, and it is not the work of a programmer, but of a trader.
Everyone has to do their job.
A trader's idea has to go through a test run. And MTS is written for its fine-tuning, polishing, optimization, and so on.
Of course, cooperation can also be based on this principle.
But in my practice, in real cooperation with traders, it turns out that traders start to abuse this kind of attention. It all comes down to the fact that the smallest new idea, even an absurd idea, is accepted as a brilliant one. At the same time, the programmer has an offer to quickly write an Advisor (as if it were a trivial job) and run it through an optimizer. And then the "parent" of the idea must be given all the results. If something is not successful, then in five minutes he brings a new "idea" and asks the programmer to write a new EA in five minutes. When you say, writing a working EA is not five minutes of work, then there is no limit to "AMAZING"! I, a genius idea! And you can't do the trivial job of writing an EA!
We've been down this road before.

We've been over this.

The trader's idea needs to be battle-tested. Statments and so on. And MTS is written to fine-tune it, polish it, optimise it and so on.
