Spezifikation
I want the system to be able to achieve the following. Please comment on the feasibility and let me know a cost:
1. It must be able to trade multiple pairs simultaneously.
2. It must be able to simultaneously trade multiple time frames within a given currency pair. For example, it should be able to open a trade in GBP/USD 1 minute time frame, and also open a trade in GBP/USD 4 hour time frame and also open a trade GBP/USD 1 day time frame all independently, with none of the trades affecting each other.
3. Trading in a particular pair and time frame must be started off manually, by me picking a pair, picking a trade size as a percentage of the account balance, and picking a direction. Once started manually the system must have the option to continue trading automatically, opening and closing trades based on the parameters that I will specify below.
4. The program must lock in profits (or limit losses) by trailing a stop loss along a moving average and closing the trade when the stop loss point is hit. I must be able to select the period of the moving average used per trade. The stop loss position be must additionally be configurable by the number of pips it stays behind the moving average. This is because I want the price to have to cross the moving average to trigger the closing of the trade, rather than having the trade close when the price simply touches the moving average. So, if I enter ‘1’ in the configurator then the stop loss stays 1 pip behind the moving average for a trade in either direction. This means, for example, that for a long trade if the selected moving average is at 1.50000 then the stop will be triggered if the price touches 1.49999, and for a short trade the stop would be triggered if the price touched 1.5001
5. The program must have an option to turn on the automatic opening of a new trade (in the same pair and time-frame) in the opposite direction immediately that a trade is closed. For example, if a long trade in GBP/USD 4 hour time frame, made with 1% of the account balance closes, then immediately a short trade with 1% of the account balance opens in the same pair and time frame. This should repeat until either the option is turned off by me or the account balance is depleted. Given the details of how the stop loss setup would work explained in point 4. above this means that a long trade will only be opened once the price is above the selected moving average and a short trade will only be opened once the price is below the selected moving average.
6. The program must have an option to pyramid more trades on top of winning trades based on profit parameters that I configure. For example if I enter the number ‘50’ then a new trade in the same direction (using the same percentage of the account balance as the existing trade) will open when the trailing stop loss has moved enough to ‘lock in’ 50 pips of profit. I.e. the stop loss point is now 50 pips above the trade entry point for a long trade, or 50 pips below the trade entry point for a short trade. This should be able to happen continuously (in the example given this would mean a new trade opening every 50 pips) whilst the conditions allow. So in theory it might be possible to have 5, 10 or even 50 trades open in the same direction at once, even if this is a highly unlikely event. All trades will close in the normal way (i.e. when the moving average based trailing stop loss is hit), or can be closed manually by me.
