The EA has been optimized using tick history data, set files are available for the most popular currency pairs.
Features
Automatically trades 10 currency pairs from 1 chart at the same time:
When the Auto trading parameter is set to true, all you need to do is attach the EA to any open symbol (for example, EURUSD). Shark Surfer immediately starts analyzing for favorable trading conditions on the 10 most popular trading pairs.
Forget about .set files in the multicurrency trading mode
All settings from set files are already included in the EA. It will open/close trades based on the parameters preoptimized on the tick history.
Please note that this feature does not work in the strategy tester.
When testing in the strategy tester, make sure that Auto trading = false.
Trading using the set files
If you want to trade only specific currency pairs or currency pairs not on the recommended list. In that case, trade with Auto trading set to false (this mode is also suitable for backtesting).
The EA settings for all popular currency pairs are available in separate set files, which can be used freely.
If you want to trade a currency pair that does not fall into the recommended list, then you should understand that optimization for that pair has not been carried out, and you will need to do the optimization yourself.
The list of the recommended and optimized currency pairs is provided at the end of the description.
