trading strategy
the ea uses a custom indicator 'cho smoothed' - the indicator uses two lines: the icho line (chaikin oscillator, cho) and the icho line smoothed using 'moving average'. the indicator is created on the specified timeframe '
working timeframe
' - the same timeframe is used to determine the moment of the birth of a new bar (if it is necessary for the parameters
'trailing on ...
' and '
search signals on ...
'). in the settings, you can set more stringent signals - for this, the 'use zerolevel' parameter must be set to 'true'.
trading signals:
the signal is the intersection of two lines of the indicator. if set to strict mode ( 'use zerolevel' parameter must be set to 'true'), then 'buy' open signals will only be below zero, and 'sell' open signals will only be above zero.

peculiarities:

the ea can be optimized for the working timeframe ('
working timeframe
')

there can be only one 'entry to the market' deal per bar (this is an internal parameter, it is not included in the input parameters and it has nothing to do with the '
only one positions
' parameter)

when working in the ' inside bar ' mode (parameter '
search signals on ...
' equals '
bar #0 (at every tick)
') the current bar is bar #0, when working in the mode ' only at the moment of birth of a new bar ' (parameter '
search signals on ...
' equals '
bar #1 (on a new bar)
) current bar is bar #1

'
trade mode parameter:
' - restriction in which direction to trade. can take the values '
allowed only buy positions
', '
allowed only sell positions
' and '
allowed buy and sell positions
'

position size management (lot calculation)
the lot can be either permanent ('
money management
' set to '
constant lot
' and set the lot size to '
the value for "money management"
') and dynamic - in percent risk per trade ('
money management

risk in percent for a deal
' and set the risk percentage in '
the value for "money management"
'). you can also set a constant lot equal to the minimum lot - '
money management
' set to '
lots min
'.
