The Expert Advisor works using the opening prices of new bars. The strategy is based on the breakout/rebound from newly formed support and resistance levels. The support/resistance levels are identified using a narrow range of fluctuations in High/Low price of the bar for the period n. Entries are made in the direction of the initial movement from a level +/- n points.
The EA is designed for intraday trading with all major currency pairs on any timeframe. Any trading style can be used, which makes the EA not just a trading robot, but a multifunctional flexible designer. The EA applies dynamic levels for placing new orders, stop loss, take profit and trailing stop levels invisible for brokers. Their values can be calculated in pips, in money, in percents of the balance or based on volatility (ATR).
Each block responsible for management of a particular function can be customized separately and operate as a single unit. The EA is able to interact with and to positions opened in different directions (both single orders and order baskets), close interact with positions opened manually or by another expert (start managing deals, distinguished by magic number). Since the EA works on open prices of new bars, it can be optimized easily and quickly.
