Innovative Grid Advisor. Applies a strategy based on price volatility. Trading starts when the price rises by N points from the close price of the previous bar, for N minutes from the time the current bar opened. If during the allotted time the price has not exceeded N values from the average price volatility (ATR) in% / pips, then trading is suspended until the start of the new bar.
MT4 version of the adviser link
Applies dynamic levels of stop orders, stop loss, take profit, trailing stop and breakeven that are invisible to the broker. Values can be specified in pips or percent of average price volatility (ATR). It has anti-slip protection for the first order and spread expansion.
The graph displays information about the quality of execution of orders, profits and current open positions (the number of orders, the number of lots and profit). Suitable for working with any brokers, including US brokers with the requirement of FIFO - the requirement to close first of all previously open transactions.
For the first acquaintance with the advisor, I recommend enabling the visual mode in the strategy tester. I tried to make the adviser informative, so that any trader could understand the principles of his work.
SHOW_INFORMATION - enables buttons and displays information on a chart.
The first deals can also be opened using buttons or lines. In order for the adviser to open a position along the line: draw a line on the chart and rename it. When crossing its price, the adviser will execute the appropriate command.
- OPEN_SELL - open a sell order
