RoboTradeSoft Bands

The Expert Advisor with strategy based on the Bollinger Bands indicator. When the price is above or below the Bollinger Bands and the channel expands by the specified range, a trade is opened. For example, if the Ask price is less than the lower band of the indicator and the difference between the upper and lower bands of the indicator exceeds the distance of Delta, the EA will open a buy. For sell trades it is the opposite: if the Bid price is greater than the upper band of the indicator and the difference between the upper and lower bands of the indicator exceeds the distance of Delta, the EA will open a sell.

The feature of the EA is that it has the ability to change the strategy of closing and maintaining orders right from the built-in panel on the chart. For example, if placing pending orders is enabled, then all trailing functions will work as a whole based on the average price, and not each order separately. If there are multiple open positions, the same stop loss, take profit levels will be set for them, breakeven and trailing stop will be activated for the entire order grid.

The EA can also work manually opened orders and orders opened by any other EAs. This can be applied to attempt to recover the losing trades opened by any other EA or even save the trader form losing the deposit. The Autotrading parameter, if = false, the EA will not open initial orders according to its specified strategy.
