Introduction
Expert adviser Auto Gap - a 100% algorithmic stable and secure multi trading robot, it's target - Full gaps and trade them accordingly. Forex tested,others not but may work perfectly fine on others as well. No dangerous methods use in trading operations.
What is a 'gap' and how it's traded?
Gaps are areas on a chart where the price of a financial instrument moves sharply up or down, with little or no trading in between. As a result, the asset's chart shows a gap in the normal price pattern. If there's a gap upwards we go short/gap down we go long and awaits for the price to come back, usually it does but sometimes the market has other plans and our stop loss get hit.
Multi trading and how does this adviser work?
AutoGap's primary target is to trade multiple currency pairs at once and this is done from one single chart with default settings for 28 currency pairs. Attach this robot to one (currency selected not important) chart and time frame M15. Possibility to subtract currency pairs that's unwanted for trading. Make sure all symbols visible in market watch that you set to trade. Secondary alternative, run the adviser per symbol/chart (single trading) but very ineffective...the choice is yours but not recommended.
- Risk assessment - Trade with minimum,fixed sized or percentage sized contracts
- Weekday manager - Weekday filter
- Two order levels modes - 1. Stop loss/take profit by percentage 2. Stop loss/take profit defined pips range
- Break even and trailing stop
- No messy configurations
- ECN account preferable
- Risk assessment - do not risk more then 1-2% and always use money management (trading fixed lots does not give you the same risk equation/trade)
- Based on a leverage of 1:500 and multi trading 28 currency pairs,to get high yield trades start with at least $1000, minimum deposit should not be less then $500. Trading single pair (non multi trading) deposit can be as low as $50-100/pair.
- As 'gaps' don't appear frequently,multiple currency pairs should to be traded for maximum efficiency.
- Use some sort of VPS.

I give 5 stars for the idea. Indeed, gap corrections are one of the few moves that the markets repeat most of the time but they have the inconvenience of being rare and using an expert who analyzes 28 currency pairs from one chart is a very good idea. For the results I am still testing. A first feedback is that only large gaps (larger than 50 pips are profitable).
