'StopLoss, in % ATR' - volatility based stop loss expressed as a percentage of the Average True Range indicator.

版本 3.45
2021.07.05
Recommended update

- Added a new supported pair: CHFJPY.
- Added a new feature 'Adjust Order Price' allowing to adjust the open price of pending orders. This parameter can help to improve order execution on big accounts.
版本 3.33
2021.06.21
Recommended update
- A new 'Maximum Net Number of Currencies' parameter is introduced, allowing to limit the number of open trades with the same currencies (not symbols/currency pairs) in the same direction. The parameter does not lead to performance improvements on tests, still, it limits risks, so it is recommended to be used with a value of 2 when more than 3 pairs are traded at a time.
For example, we set 'Maximum Net Number of Currencies'=2 and got 3 position open:
long EURUSD
long GBPUSD
short EURCHF
Net number of open positions with the same currencies:
EUR = 0 (long EURUSD + short EURCHF)
USD = -2 (long EURUSD + long GBPUSD)
GBP = 1 (long GBPUSD)
CHF = 1 (short EURCHF)
As you can see, USD has reached the max. limit (-2), so any orders that can lead to a new short USD trade (for example, short USDCHF) will be canceled and prohibited.
- Improvements to parameter 'Maximum Symbols at a time'. It is now handled on every tick, if necessary.
However, the EA enters a trade with pending orders, so the maximum limit can be exceeded if many limit orders are simultaneously triggered/filled by a large price movements.
- Fixed some issues with logging.
- Several small improvements that do not affect performance.
版本 3.28
2021.06.16
- Changed default value of the parameter 'Lot-sizing Method' (from 'Low Risk Preset' to 'Fixed Lots');
- Minor bug fixes.
The system is stable. There are periods of stagnation, but this is not a problem. The main thing is to wait and the adviser comes out of drawdowns without any problems. Moreover, the seller posted a link to the real accounts on which his advisers work. The key is risk management. Do not go beyond reasonable risks. The market is unpredictable. Who has nowhere to put money, you can set aggressive parameters. Who does not know how to wait and do not know what a stable and small profit is, go to the casino and look for fortune there or learn how to trade yourself.
