PZ Hedging EA MT4

Have you ever taken a trade at literally the worst possible moment?
Have you ever bought an asset just before a significant price crash?
Or perhaps you've gone short at the worst possible moment before a rip-off rally?

I have. And it sucks. It's one of the worst feelings in the world. Like a kick in the groin.

To come out unscathed and in profit from these situations, I developed PZ Hedging EA.

This EA will turn your losing trades into winners using a unique imbalanced hedging strategy. Once the initial trade moves into negative territory a predefined number of pips, the recovery mechanism will kick in: it will place a limited amount of alternative trades above and below the current price, until all of them can be closed with a small net profit.

Usage Tips

• Load the EA and trade using the chart buttons
• Don't trade any other EA in the same symbol
  
• Take only one initial trade per symbol -never two or more-
• If the buy/sell buttons are not displayed, it means the EA is busy
• The EA can trade many symbols independently at the same time
• But be careful: never, ever, load the EA twice on the same symbol
• There is no need to set a different Magic Number to trade different symbols
• Trade from a VPS or leave your trading computer turned on 24/5
• Try to never unload the EA to assure the atomicity of the process
• Big spread hikes affect the EA negatively. If possible, trade from a fixed spread account
  
• In fixed spread accounts, using a small zone proves beneficial for performance
  
• However, a safe zone for variable spread accounts is +100 pips
  
• Avoid taking a trade if you expect the market to stay flat

Technical Information

• The automated entries of the EA are evaluated at bar closing
• The EA uses pending orders, connection lag should not be an issue
  
• The EA won't trade live if there is risk of a margin call with current settings
• However, the EA will trade in the tester with any settings, regardless of risk
• The take-profit for the first trade is evaluated in stealth mode, no TP order is placed
  
• The EA trades a manual lot size: the tester won't reflect compounding profits
• The session filters are implemented in GMT time and only apply to automated entries
• Trades have no individual SL or TP because they are managed as a basket (a single deal)
  
• During a recovery, the EA can have many trades opened at the same time
• If the market gaps and a pending order is missed, the EA will hedge at market
