COSMOS4U AdTurtle Expert Advisor is based on the now classic Turtle trading system introduced by Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt. It employs Donchian high/low lines of various periods to decide when to open and close positions. This is an Expert Advisor that can promptly react to sudden trend reversals in everyday trading but is also suitable for executing long-term holding strategies.
How it works
When the trading mode “Long&Short” is selected, a total of 8 high/low lines are used to open and close positions depending on which of these levels the price crosses over.
When the price moves above the “Open Upper Level” a new long position is opened which will be closed when the price moves below the “Close Lower Level”. Accordingly, when the price reaches a spot below the “Open Lower Level”, a new short position is opened that will be closed when the price moves above the “Close Upper Level”. The periods of the close lines are by default set to half the periods of the opening lines (x/2, y/2), in accordance with our most recent research, but you can modify this by setting the period divisors parameters. The lines for opening positions are drawn as solid lines on the diagram and the lines for closing positions are drawn as dashed lines.
A second set of “lagging” lines (with longer periods) are used in the same way for opening a position of the same type as the one previously closed.
When trading modes “Long” or “Short” are selected, the Expert Advisor executes only the long or short positions respectively.
Close Shop for the Weekend
As our most recent research has confirmed, a good practice in everyday trading is to close any open positions before the weekend to avoid potential gaps in prices caused by events or corporate and government announcements. The COSMOS4U AdTurtle Expert Advisor is by default adjusted to close its positions before the weekend. You can also fine-tune how many hours before and after the weekend break the Expert Advisor will close and open its positions respectively.
Manage Risk
With COSMOS4U AdTurtle Expert Advisor you can manage the capital amount you are willing to risk daily as well as how much of your capital you want to allocate to each asset traded by the Expert Advisor in accordance with your diversification strategy.
