This is a grid Expert Advisor. It has several trading strategies based on the MACD indicator. The virtual trailing stop, stop loss, take profit levels can be set pips, in the deposit currency or as a percentage of the balance. Depending on the settings, different orders may be opened for diversifying risks. Their closure can be either an oppositely directed or unidirectional basket of orders.
The orders grid is adaptive, only market orders are used in it. If the price moves the distance of OrderOpenStop+OrderOpenStep in the direction opposite to the opened order, then a virtual level for opening a new order is set. If the price continues moving in the opposite direction from the open order, the previously set order opening level is trailed after the price. If the price touches or crosses a given level, a deal is opened. This achieves the most profitable price for opening positions in the order grid. The lot size of the orders in the grid is calculated as: specified lot per 1000 units of the base currency, multiplied by the coefficient or with the specified additional lot.
Strategies
- Strategy - select the strategy;
- MACD - buy - the MACD indicator histogram crosses the signal line upwards, the histogram should be lower than the zero level and lower than the signal line before the intersection. For the sell deals, all these conditions are opposite.
- MACDSample - strategy based on MACD, but taking into account the value of the TrendPeriod moving average, which should be higher on the current bar than on the previous bar, that is, rising (for buys). A deal is opened if one more condition is met - the absolute value of the histogram is greater than the value of the OpenLevel parameter (specified in the input parameters), multiplied by the point value of the current instrument in the quote currency. For the sell deals, all these conditions are opposite (except the last one).
