Lts Fx II

LTS FX II trades the start of the New York session on five forex pairs from a single chart. Each day it measures a short price range on every pair, waits for price to leave it, and trades the return into the range with a grid basket that closes as a whole at a small target in % of the balance. Only one basket is open at a time in the whole account.

How it works

• At the New York open each pair builds a range: 75 minutes for EURUSD, EURCAD, GBPCAD and AUDCAD, 60 minutes for GBPJPY.
• During the entry window, EURUSD and the CAD pairs sell at the top of the range and buy at the bottom. GBPJPY waits for a breakout candle that closes back inside and trades in the breakout direction.
• If price moves against the first trade, new levels are added at distances based on the pair's volatility (ATR 200, M5) with calibrated lot multipliers.
• The whole basket closes when its net profit, after commission and swap, reaches the profile target.
• Each pair trades at most once per day, and a new basket only opens when the account has no other LTS basket.

• Moderate: about 53% a year, maximum equity drawdown 47%, lowest margin level 306%.
• Aggressive: about 84% a year, maximum equity drawdown 66%, lowest margin level 135%.
• About 4,120 baskets per profile, every one closed at its target. The lot follows the balance, so results compound.
  
  

Requirements and recommendations

• MetaTrader 5, hedging account, the five pairs available at the broker.
• Minimum recommended balance: US$ 2,000. Leverage 1:500 recommended; the Aggressive profile needs it.
• Use a dedicated account. Other EAs or manual trades pause new baskets by default.
• Low-spread ECN account and a VPS for 24/5 operation. Swap-free accounts are an advantage.
• Attach the EA to one chart only.

Risk warning: LTS FX II uses a grid. A long move against an open basket can cause a large drawdown before the basket closes. Backtest results are simulations and do not guarantee future results. Start on a demo account and trade only money you can afford to lose.
