SUMMARY
The idea of the trading system is as follows- Trading levels will be manually inserted for each currency pair on a weekly basis (or any timeframe)
and valid for the week (Monday to Friday)
Each level is either ‘buy above’ or ‘sell below’
The EA will execute a trade (on the 1hr or 4hr - depending on what is selected) when those levels are broken in the direction that qualifies the level as follows:
a. Open long position when a ‘buy above’ level is broken
b. Open short position when a ‘sell below’ level is broken
The breakout condition is true when the close of the candle crosses the level in the direction that qualifies the level
There are three different order strategies that should be able to be set true simultaneously and work independently
The entry orders will also be conditioned by filters and the filters should be able to be set to true simultaneously.
