The process begins by opening two opposing positions with the minimum lot size. Take Profit and Stop Loss levels are set immediately for both positions.
One position will become profitable, while the other incurs a loss. The profitable position is closed by Take Profit. The losing position is then reinforced by opening a new position at a specified 'step' distance from the current price. If the price continues to move in the same direction, further reinforcement occurs.
Each reinforcement step involves doubling the lot size. Eventually, a price reversal is expected. When this occurs, the last losing position will reach its Take Profit, covering all previous losses and resulting in a positive outcome. Following a successful trade, the EA resets and opens new orders with the minimum lot size.
Operating this Expert Advisor necessitates a substantial deposit to accommodate the required lot increments and potential trade series.
