Menu Item clarification and functions:
Wick/ Candle Close – this will determine how the zigzag is drawn, using either candle wicks, or the candle close
Take profit mode: either a simple set amount of points, or based on a fibo, in this example, the middle line represents where the breakout and buy would have happened, this is fibo point 100. The bottom line would be fibo “0” and the top line has been drawn at fibo “200”.
Stop loss mode: fixed points is self explanatory.
Zig zag trailing is where the stop would move with price structure (see image on page 1). The stop loss is placed behind the most recent swing point and changes each time a new zigzag is created.
For buys, it moves the stop behind each new low
For sells, it moves the stop behind each new high
Stop loss buffer: a simple amount of points, just so that the stop is not placed exactly on the high/ low and allows a bit of room so that the trade is not taken out if the price just quickly wicks past the line.
Minimum fibo points for entry: this will measure how big the previous swing was in points and can be used to prevent entries where the zig zag is small and flat
Maximum fibo points for entry: same idea, but prevent hug swings being used
False breakout protection: this applies a buffer, so that price must move x amount of points beyond the trigger point in order for it to take a trade. This prevents trades being entered if price only wicks above the level quicky.
Consecutive trades: this stops the bot taking too many trades in the same direction at the same time.
