FEATURES:
- 5 Frequency Modes: Ultra-Conservative (0.5x), Conservative (0.75x), Normal (1.0x), Aggressive (1.5x), and Scalper (2.0x) modes offer a wide range of frequency options.
- 8 Dynamic Filter Parameters: Cooldown, spread tolerance, ATR range, min bars, min distance, and signal strength thresholds are scaled dynamically, ensuring a comprehensive approach to trade management.
- Runtime Fine-Tuning: Adjust the frequency factor with configurable step sizes for precise control during runtime.
- Auto-Frequency Mode: Adapts frequency based on ATR, automatically adjusting to market volatility.
- Daily Trade Limiter: Set a daily trade limit and let the controller manage entries, resetting at midnight.
- Effective Values Snapshot: Retrieve scaled values in a struct for dashboard integration.
- Interactive Chart Buttons: Switch modes and fine-tune with a click.
- Safe Signal Thresholds: Ensure signal strength never drops below a defined floor.
HOW THE SCALING WORKS:
The scaling mechanism adjusts various parameters to control trade frequency:
- Cooldown: Divided for shorter wait times between trades.
- Max Spread: Multiplied to accept wider spreads.
- Min ATR: Divided to accept lower volatility.
- Min Bars: Divided to allow entries with fewer bars between them.
- Min Distance: Divided to trade closer to existing positions.
- Signal Strength: Divided by sqrt, accepting weaker signals with a defined floor.
DEMO EA INCLUDED:
The demo EA provides an interactive dashboard for testing and visualization:
- Mode Selector: Switch between frequency modes with buttons.
- Frequency Factor Visualization: See the current factor and its impact.
- Base vs. Effective Comparison: Table comparing base and scaled filter parameters.
- Daily Trade Counter: Track remaining trades for the day.
- Auto-Frequency Status: Monitor the auto-adjustment.
USAGE:
Include the library and initialize the controller with your preferred settings. Set base filters, mode, and daily trade limit. Retrieve effective values and place trades accordingly.
Place the library and demo files in the same folder for easy compilation.
