Discovery EA

Discovery EA is a fully automated Expert Advisor that works on all Forex pairs and once installed requires very little from the user, but is perfect for the more advanced trade too due to it's many features. 

The EA is based upon the channel system but uses the channel twice to generate the signal to start trading. The 1st channel uses the higher timeframe to generate the direction of the trade (Buy or Sell), similar to a trend direction, then the 2nd channel uses a lower timeframe to generate the signal to start trading. Only when both the higher and lower timeframe signals are in agreement does a trade start. Discovery EA is fully customisable should you wish to try your own settings. but set files are provided to start trading. 

Due to the stringent requirements to start a trade sometimes there can be time without a trade starting and that is why it can be used over multiple currency pairs at the same time. But DO NOT apply to every currency pair - choose your currency pairs. Please see the live signal for working suggestions to start you off. 

The trading options are flexible and can either be a single trade or a grid with or without lot multiplier. 

There are added security measures for safer trading:- 

1. The EA will close all positions on a each currency pair when it reaches a certain level of loss (the level of loss can be changed in the EA),
2. There is a time setting for how long the lower timeframe has to generate a signal before the higher timeframe becomes invalid and then the EA starts searching for a trade all over again. 

To test Discovery EA, you will need to test each currency pair individually and then combine these results to work out the true potential of this EA.
