When entering the market, the direction of price movement is not analysed at all. Two stop orders are placed in both directions. When trading with a fixed lot, the profit is miserable (close to zero). A profit can be formed on any order, it only depends on the price movement.
This research should give an answer as to why the profit appears - whether it's from fitting on a period or from some kind of regularity.
Essentially we make several attempts to guess the trend direction. If we guessed right and entered the trend which is long enough to make profit for the whole series of orders, the series will finish successfully. If we did not reach the successful finish because of the drawdown bigger than the set one, the series turns out to be unprofitable. For the EUR, the initial lot is 0.05 and the maximum lot on the placed test report interval is 0.75. Coefficient of multiplication is 1.7.
Here we use the pattern - trend is our friend. If the price moved some distance (to be determined during optimization), then with some probability it will move some more in the same direction, which with N tries will be enough to close the series with profit.
How do you break away? by placing pauses between trades?
if the distance between trades is small, e.g. 3 pips, then at the moment of news the broker often widens the zone where a pending order can be placed.
i'm thinking of rewriting it to trade by market! what do you think? would it be better at news time?

My range is larger than StopLevel because I take it into consideration when calculating the price of order placement.
This is correct " where no pending order should be placed".
When using market orders during the news time, the opening can be very delayed and lead to a great slippage. Stop orders in such a situation can also trigger with slippage. Therefore it's better not to trade during news hours.

If you enter the market, will it be worse? I think not, but you will have somewhere to bet! And if news will be released, the price will fly away, immediately open... and not 20 points later (by four-symbols) pending order will bang!
If you enter the market, will it be worse? I don't think so, but you'll have somewhere to put it!
Do you think there will be no slippage?
But better a slippage than the ability to put a pause after 20 pips (4x sign).
So you switch the EA off before the news and switch it on after the news?
Khorosh, how about the profitability of the current version of the EA on the history? 3 to 5 years?
do you have settings that allow it to work during both normal times and during big trends?

I don't have an EA that opens orders if I have a large stop loss. My broker does not give such a history, and I do not need it (re-read my post above from12.05.2015 06:58).
There are no special settings. Stability is achieved by frequent optimisation.
