MTA Consolidation Zone

Multifunctional Expert Advisor. The strategy is based on breakouts of consolidation areas. It is known that the market virtually always consolidates its strength before making a strong impulse movement. You will always be able to see a compressed sideways movement followed by a new prolonged impulse. The EA enters the market in the direction of breakout of a consolidation area.

The EA is designed for intraday trading with all major currency pairs on any timeframe. It can be configured for any trading style, which makes it not just a trading robot, but a multifunctional flexible designer. The EA applies order placement levels, stop loss, take profit and trailing stop levels invisible for brokers. The entire trading process and detailed statistics are displayed on the chart as lines and on the information panel.
