How the SLOW System Works
The EA operates using a frequency-controlled pending order system. Unlike aggressive systems, LEVEL SLOW waits for a minimum number of candlesticks (configurable) before placing new orders, significantly reducing the number of trades and the associated drawdown.
When the price triggers a pending order, the system implements a dynamic trailing stop that adjusts based on accumulated profit. Frequency control ensures that only the most favorable market conditions are traded, preventing over-exposure.
