  • Previous Candle Breakdown – timeframe of the candlestick to be broken down;
  • Indent from High or Low – indent from High and Low of the broken-down candlestick;
  • Fast: av. period – Moving Average “Fast”: Averaging period; if it is set to zero, the filter from indicators “Fast” and “Slow” will not be used;
  • Fast: horizontal shift – Moving Average “Fast”: Horizontal shift of the indicator;
  • Fast: type of price – Moving Average “Fast”: Type of the price, on which the indicator is calculated;
  • Slow: av. period – Moving Average “Slow”: averaging period; if it is set to zero, the filter from indicators “Fast” and “Slow” will not be used;
  • Slow: horizontal shift – Moving Average “Slow”: horizontal shift of the indicator;
  • Slow: type of price – Moving Average “Slow”: type of the price, on which the indicator is calculated;
  • Fast and Slow: smoothing type – averaging type (common for both “Fast” and “Slow”);
  • Stop Loss – stop loss;
  • Take Profit – take profit;
  • Trailing Stop – trailing (it works as breakeven at the first modification of Stop Loss);
  • Trailing Step – trailing step;
  • Lots – lot size is permanent (Risk must be set to zero);

  • Maximum number of positions in one direction;

Description

The EA waits for breaking down any timframe from 1 minute through 1 month. Bar #1 is checked for breakdown at a specified timeframe Breakdown previous candle. It is also possible to enable two filters – Moving Average.

NOTE! For the filters to operate, it is necessary that averaging periods Fast: av. period and Slow: av. period are above zero.

In the EA, trailing is implemented that (at the first modification of the Stop Loss level) moves Stop Loss to breakeven.

Position size can be both permanent (Lots above zero and Risk is equal to zero) and dynamically calculated in the risk percents per trade (Risk above zero and Lots is equal to zero).

NOTE! No situations may be allowed, where:

  • Both “Lots” and “Risk” are above zero;
  • both “Lots” and “Risk” are equal to zero.

Upon reaching the target profit Close all positions when profit is achieved, all positions will be closed. The EA ensures that no more than one position in each direction is opened at the specified timeframe Previous Candle Breakdown.
