"Bot Vasya" - input parameters.

Bot Vasya.

Advisor   "Bot Vasya"   is a tool that allows users to create their own strategies for trading on the Forex market. It has many useful features.
Some of the advisor's strategies are based on the principle of buying when an asset is oversold and selling when an asset is overbought. This means that the advisor will purchase an asset when its price is too low and sell when its price is too high.
Many people have probably noticed (or know) that after every trend in the market there is usually a price pullback. First the price moves up and then down, or vice versa. The advisor seeks to identify such pullbacks and use them to make a profit.
In addition, the advisor uses various methods for calculating the transaction volume when restoring losing positions, which allows users to choose the most suitable option for them. The EA also offers several types of averaging (loss recovery), which can be useful in different market situations.

More detailed information about the operation of the advisor can be found in the strategy tester. To do this, it is enough to have a demo version.
Testing an advisor in a tester allows you to better understand how it will behave in various situations with specific settings. Thanks to the tester, you can see how changing settings affects the results of the advisor.
I understand that learning how to use the tester can take some time. However, believe me, it will help you save a lot of money and better understand Forex trading.

___** General **___   – general settings used for both initial and averaging positions.

The magic number

– Magic number of the order. Used as a user-defined identifier. Using this number, the advisor finds his orders with which he is allowed to work.

Spread (maximum allowed)

- maximum allowable spread size

  StopLoss (point)

– stop loss level for each order placed by the advisor.

UseIndicator   – selecting an indicator for starting from the proposed ones:

PointZigZag

– the “Point Zig Zag” indicator with the “ Minimum Pullback Size (point) ” settings is used.

The indicator needs to be installed in the terminal. To test the advisor, it is enough to install the demo version of the “Point Zig Zag” indicator. Attention! After installing the i_PointZigZag indicator , check the installation location: MQL4 > Indicators > Market > Point Zig Zag.ex4

ZigZag

– the standard “Zig Zag" indicator with the “ Depth (for i_ZigZag) ” settings is used.

Ratio Trend/Pullback =

– the ratio of the size of the expected trend to the “ Minimum Pullback Size (point) ” value. Using this, we determine the size of the current trend to begin with.

Depth (for i_ZigZag)

– setting the standard “Zig Zag” indicator.

___** Startup **___ – Settings used for initial orders.

UseForStart – select a start strategy from the proposed ones:

  (#1)BUY-if No Position

The size of the last segment corresponds to the specified settings.
The price (Bid) has rolled back from the Extreme and is in the range specified by the parameters settings   MomentumBackSt_SizeMin   And   MomentumBackSt_SizeMax .
You should pay attention to the parameter value   MomentumBackSt_SizeMax , if it is too small or equal to 0 (zero), then the following condition cannot be met:
For Buys – the price (Bid) is greater than the price (High) of the previous candle of the current period.
For Sales – the Price (Bid) is less than the price (Low) of the previous candle of the current period.

(#5)i_ZigZag + Line

The trend line established by EA is used.

- Conditions:
For Purchases – the Bid price is less than the trend line price.
For Sales – the Bid price is greater than the trend line price.
The price (Bid) has rolled back from the Extreme and is in the range specified by the parameters settings   MomentumBackSt_SizeMin   And   MomentumBackSt_SizeMax .

(#6)i_ZigZag + Momentum

– The rollback impulse is used.
Conditions:

The size of the last segment corresponds to the specified settings;
The price (Bid) has rolled back from the Extreme and is in the range specified by the parameters settings   MomentumBackSt_SizeMin   And   MomentumBackSt_SizeMax .

(#7)i_ZigZag + Extremum

– The moment of breakdown of the level of the nearest extremum of the standard ZigZag indicator is used.

(#8)i_LevelReversal

– The moment of breakdown of the reversal level of the original PointZigZag indicator is used (requires installation in the terminal). To test the advisor, it is enough to install the demo version of the indicator.

Attention! After installing the i_PointZigZag indicator, check the installation location: MQL4 > Indicators > Market > Point Zig Zag.ex4

  (#9)Own Trend Line

- The moment of breakout of the trend line set by the user to a specified level is used.

Terminal/Trade/No orders

– choice (true/false). Setting initial (start) orders is allowed only if there are no open or pending orders in the terminal.

startHOUR   startMINUTE   stopHOUR   stopMINUTE

– time allowed for placing initial (starting) orders.

Lot size (for the starting order)

– desired volume for the initial (starting) order.

Note: The value may be limited by broker requirements (minimum and maximum lot size).

Risk in %(for the starting order)

- if the value is greater than 0, then the starting lot will be automatically calculated in the specified percentage of available funds.

TakeProfit (point)

– profit level for the initial (starting) order.

If the value is 0 (zero), the [tp] level is not set.

MomentumBackSt_SizeMin

– the minimum size (in point) of the reverse impulse from the last Extreme is used to establish a position (trade) against the trend.

MomentumBackSt_SizeMax

– the maximum size (in point) of the reverse impulse from the last Extreme is used to establish a position (trade) against the trend.

___ ** Averaging ** ___   - Recovering losses using averaging positions.

Averaging is a trading option in which the advisor strengthens a losing position. This means that if you entered a sell position and the price went up, after a certain time the advisor sells again, adding another one to the already unprofitable position. The purpose of averaging is to open a position at a better price.

It is important to remember that averaging is an aggressive trading method that can lead to the loss of your deposit. Compliance with risk management rules is important here.

Not

– averaging of losing orders is prohibited.

Fixed_Distance

Conditions: The price has moved against us by a specified distance (“ Distance (for Grid_Average) ” parameter) from the extreme position.

Bar_Distance

Conditions:

OpenBar_Distance

Conditions:

• The price moved against us at a specified distance (parameter “ Distance (for Grid_Average) ”) from   extreme position   .
