Expert system

The algorithm collects price patterns on history to make forecasts depending on stop levels by using the statistics of the further price movement. The quotes history should be pre-downloaded for at least one year before testing/optimization on all currency pairs and timeframes, the EA is to be attached to. The lower the timeframe, the more price patterns the EA is to define and the more trend change signals are to be activated.
