Return Strategy - MetaTrader 5용 expert

The author of the idea: Andrey Kornishkin

The strategy operates with pending limit orders.

Main idea

If at Start Hour, we set the grid of pending orders from Number of pending orders of each type (Buy Limit and Sell Limit), one or several pending orders are activated. Then the price necessarily returns to the Open price of the bar the grid of pending orders has been placed at.

For example, at 19:00 (Start Hour = 19), we place four (Number of pending orders = 4) Buy Limit and four Sell Limit orders. We expect that after one or several pending orders are activated, the price returns to the 19 hour bar's Open price.

Note: There should be no pending orders on a trading account at Start Hour.

Constructing grid

Distance (indent from the current price) + N * Step (step between pending orders)

The Expiration lifetime value is set for pending orders in hours.

Closing positions and removing pending orders

If the total profit of all positions becomes "Total profit" points, all positions are closed while pending orders are removed. At "End Hour", pending orders are forcibly removed.
