This non-indicator grid advisor. The strategy: if TrendDirection=1, after n bearish candlesticks in a row, the EA opens a Buy order, if TrendDirection=2, after n bearish candlesticks in a row, the EA opens a Sell order. The minimum candle body size is set as % of ATR.
The EA works by a new bar open prices, so that test/optimization results are as close to real trading as possible. The EA applies dynamic order placement levels, stop loss, take profit and trailing stop levels invisible for brokers. Their values can be calculated in pips, money, as a % of the balance or volatility (ATR).
