The expert implements the strategy of "catching tails", earning on inevitable corrections after the beginning of a powerful trend. For the beginning of the trend, the moment of occurrence of a strong directed candle is taken. The order is opened in the opposite direction from the trend. If the price continues to go on a trend, then the level of the planned profit is shifted by implementing a grid of warrants, waiting for an inevitable correction or reversal of the trend.
The input parameters in points should be set to the corresponding 4-digit quotations. For 3- and 5-digit quotes, the expert will perform the adjustment automatically. In the settings, you can turn off automatic adjustment.
Expert can be used on different symbols and different timeframes. You can run simultaneously on different graphics using different magic numbers.
At the beginning of work, the examiner searches for existing orders with the given magic number and tries to merge them into the grid. It is convenient in case of closing and reopening the terminal. This option can be disabled.
It is possible to set the time of work of the adviser.
You can select the mode for increasing the lots.
On the chart, the lines show the levels for obtaining the specified profit, the opening of the next grid order and the virtual stop loss of the grid (disabled by default).
