Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is my EA not opening trades? A: Check the "AutoTrading" button, ensure "Allow live trading" is enabled, and verify your broker allows automated trading on your account type.
Q: Can I run multiple EAs on one chart? A: No, each chart can only host one active EA; however, you can open multiple charts for different currency pairs to run several EAs.
Q: What does the "smiley face" icon mean? A: A smiley face in the top-right corner of the chart indicates the EA is successfully running; a frowny face means it is disabled.
Description & Settings
This strategy is based on some very interesting enter criterias and usefull funtcions are included which I used to create this trading bot. It has shown very good potential in the markets lately, but some changes have to be made in order to test it with a demo account/real money. The backtest is with 30 Leverage.
There are 4 inputs:
Tp : Take Profit: the multiplier of the total money invested, for example if you invested 1000 dollars and the tp is 0.05, the ea will close when the trades reach 50 dollar profit.
Multiplier: This is the volume multiplier in the grid.
MaPeriod: The period of the moving average in the bollinger bands
The StopLoss is 10 times the takeprofit.
Hope I could help.
