Strategy Overview:
This strategy operates on a user-defined trading period. At the commencement of each new period, the trading robot identifies the High and Low prices of the preceding period. When the price breaches one of these levels, a position is initiated in the direction of the breakout. For instance, if the price surpasses the previous High, the robot purchases the financial instrument with a user-specified volume. All open positions are accompanied by Stop Loss and Take Profit orders, which are set according to the user's preferences in the settings.
Key Features:
- Customizable Trading Period: Users can select the duration for calculating High and Low levels, offering flexibility to adapt to different market conditions.
- Automated Position Management: The strategy automatically opens positions upon price breakouts, ensuring timely entries.
- Risk Management: Stop Loss and Take Profit orders are employed to manage risk and lock in profits, providing a disciplined approach to trading.
Alternative Implementation:
An alternative approach involves utilizing pending orders like BUY STOP and SELL STOP. This method requires timely cancellation of the opposite pending order. While pending orders communicate entry intentions to the broker, using 'internal' levels keeps this information concealed, offering a more discreet trading strategy.
