How It Works
Signal Generation
The EA analyzes On-Balance Volume using multiple strategies:
- Movement Analysis: Detects significant OBV movements indicating volume accumulation
- Strength Assessment: Measures OBV strength relative to historical levels
- Trend Confirmation: Validates signals using OBV trend direction
- Divergence Detection: Identifies divergences between price and OBV
- EMA Crossover: Uses OBV-EMA crossovers for additional confirmation
Entry Logic
When multiple OBV strategies align and pass additional filters (EMA trend, Entry Gate), the system:
- Validates all trading conditions using built-in validation system
- Checks money requirements and volume constraints
- Applies stop level validation and market hours checks
- Executes base entries or grid trades based on configuration
Risk Management
The system continuously monitors positions and applies:
- ATR-based trailing stops for dynamic risk management
- Breakeven functionality to protect capital
- Partial close management to secure profits
- Grid stop-out protection to prevent excessive losses
