Strategy.

The robot builds a trend channel using the Gilbert Raff method. The direction of the trend is determined by the slope of the channel. The robot places pending limit orders only in the direction of the trend. After the order is converted into a market position, the transaction is supported in order to obtain maximum profit. Various algorithms for trailing stop loss and take profit are possible. In a calm market, mainly at night, this allows you to get a stable profit in the statistics of many transactions.

Features of use

The default parameters are optimized for IC Markets broker quotes, Raw Spread account, for EURUSD, M5 timeframe. Shoulder preferably 1:500. Deposit from $10, but $300 is desirable for a quick overclock. You can use other brokers with low spreads and fast execution.

The robot is equipped with a deposit recovery function. If a losing trade has turned out on this trading instrument, then a one-time increase in the lot is performed to compensate for the resulting loss. But this is not a martingale. Unlike martingale, there is no further increase in the lot, so there is no danger to the deposit. The vast majority of trades are profitable, so the resulting loss is usually compensated in the next step. In rare cases, several steps with the same lot are possible, after which the robot returns to normal mode with minimal risk. The robot also works successfully when the recovery function is disabled.
