The EA has been built around the London Stock Exchange open and the currency pair GBP/JPY. It is based on taking entries during the first hour of the London Stock Exchange open due to the volume in this period.
The EA will take a maximum of one trade per day; it will not take multiple trades. The EA also has the option to use the MACD for exit management instead of a fixed take profit. The use of the MACD for exit management is to maximise trade exits at potential reversal points and so to help take the optimal profit.
Parameters:
- Time_Frame_set - Set the timeframe for the algorithm to work from.
- ADX_Period - The period of the ADX.

- Diff_DIs - Buffer between DI+ and DI-. For example buy entries only valid if DI+ is above DI- and the difference between DI+ and DI- is greater than the buffer value.
- Adj_B - Buffer to be placed at the high of the previous hour candle. For example 1 pip = 0.01 and so entries for buys only valid if market price exceeds previous high plus the buffer.
- Adj_S - Buffer to be placed at the low of the previous hour candle. For example 1 pip = 0.01 and so entries for sells only valid if market price exceeds previous low minus the buffer.
- Fixed_Lots - Set fixed lot size. Set as true for on.
