The strategy is based on my template and on a simple deviation from the opening price. It is believed that the price continues its movement in the directions of the greatest deviation. It buys when the price moves up by the specified number of points from the opening price. It sells when the price moves down by the specified number of points from the opening price. This strategy is recommended for use on the M30-H4 timeframes. The EA has been adapted for four- and five-digit quotes. VPS server is recommended.
Expert Parameters
- Inp_PriceMoved – up/down deviation from the opening price;
Launching the EA
It is recommended to launch the EA on several adjacent currency pairs with the same magical numbers. For example:
- GBPUSD, EURUSD, AUDUSD, NZDUSD;
- or USDCAD, USDCHF;
- or GBPJPY, EURJPY, AUDJPY, NZDJPY;
- or other similar linked pairs.
Inp_Multicurrency – if allowed, the EA works with the same magic number on all symbols it is launched on. When a specified profit, drawdown, breakeven or trailing is reached, all orders in the same direction with the same magic number are closed and the trading is started anew.
