Check out the new article: Automating Trading Strategies in MQL5 (Part 23): Zone Recovery with Trailing and Basket Logic.
In this article, we enhance our Zone Recovery System by introducing trailing stops and multi-basket trading capabilities. We explore how the improved architecture uses dynamic trailing stops to lock in profits and a basket management system to handle multiple trade signals efficiently. Through implementation and backtesting, we demonstrate a more robust trading system tailored for adaptive market performance.
The zone recovery strategy we’re enhancing is designed to turn potential losses into wins by placing counter-trades within a defined price range when the market moves against us. We’re now strengthening it with two key improvements: trailing stops and multi-basket trading. Trailing stops are necessary because they allow us to lock in profits as the market moves in our favor, protecting gains without closing trades too early, which is critical in trending markets where prices can run significantly. Multi-basket trading is equally important, as it lets us manage multiple independent trade signals simultaneously, increasing our ability to capture more opportunities while keeping risk organized across separate trade groups. See below.
We will achieve these enhancements by integrating a trailing stop mechanism that adjusts the stop-loss level dynamically based on market movement, ensuring we secure profits while giving trades room to grow. For multi-basket trading, we will introduce a system to handle multiple trade instances, each with its unique identifier, allowing us to track and manage several zone recovery cycles at once without overlap. We plan to combine these features with the existing Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) and Envelopes indicators to maintain precise trade entries, while the trailing stops and basket system work together to optimize profit protection and trade capacity, making the strategy more robust and adaptable to various market conditions.
