The Simplest Hedging Expert Advisor If a simpler Expert Advisor exists, please share it. This Expert Advisor does not utilize any indicators. It opens two opposite positions upon the appearance of a new bar. It then waits until both positions are closed by Stop Loss or Take Profit before opening the next pair of positions. Manual optimization enables the selection of optimal parameters, where the Stop Loss is set lower than the Take Profit for each of the three trading pairs. This provides three possible outcomes: Both positions are profitable. One position is profitable, while the other is loss-making (the profit covers the loss). Both positions are loss-making. The "open prices only" mode is recommended as it trades exclusively at the opening of a new bar. The best results have been observed on EURGBP M5, with EURUSD, GBPUSD, and EURCHF also demonstrating good performance. Feel free to enhance the code as you see fit.
