The Strategy
Without giving too many of our secrets away… Desbot first Checks the clock making sure it's between its Start time (startHour) and End time (endHour), followed by making sure there are no active orders in play. Desbot will then check for specific patterns on your chosen timeframe and currency pair, which occur in line with an order of moving average lines, depending on the type of trade. For a Buy trade, Desbot will look for a pattern, the low line (MALow) above the medium line (MAMedium) and MAMedium above the high line (MAHigh). Desbot will look for the opposite order for a Sell trade.
Once Desbot is ready to make a trade it will use your preferred Risk Percentage (RiskPercentage) set the percentage of your account balance to risk and lock in your fixed Stop Loss and Take Profits. Desbot also takes advantage of RSI lines to help reduce the risk of a trade hitting the Stop Loss. Once you are in the lucky position of being able to risk more than your broker would allow per trade Desbot will use your broker's maximum Lot size to judge how many trades it needs to make at the same time to roughly risk the same risk percentage of your account balance. For example, if your broker's maximum lot size is 50 and your account balance is around £1.7 million on the currency pair USD/JPY Desbot will divide the lot size needed to meet your risk percentage by your Broker's maximum lot size per trade, round to the nearest whole number and use that as an indicator for the number of trades it need to make in one go.

Why is it important to Backtest before using DESBOT?
Backtesting is a critical step in algorithmic trading because it allows traders to assess the viability and effectiveness of their strategies in historical market conditions. Importantly, it also helps in understanding the impact of different brokers and their spreads on strategy performance. Variations in spreads and execution speeds can significantly affect trading outcomes, leading to variations in profit and loss. By backtesting with data from multiple brokers, traders gain valuable insights into how their strategies adapt to real-world conditions, helping them optimize their algorithms for specific broker environments and enhance the robustness of their trading systems. This process is crucial for making informed decisions, managing risk, and ultimately increasing the chances of success in the dynamic and competitive world of algorithmic trading.
