Trade the trend and take advantage of naturally occuring wave cycles

Relying on a moving average and price action, this robot anticipates most likely direction of price in function of naturally occuring cycles. It also features an optional Martingale strategy with multiplication parameter for increased flexibility.
Manage risk with stop loss, enable equity control and much more.
On the extensive feature list you will find a moving average indicator, including all of the most popular moving average types, RSI functionality that can reverse trades in overbought and oversold areas, and an ADX filter for measuring trend strength.
You will also benefit from a volume adjustment feature, so if you leave your bot alone for longer periods, investment lot size can be dynamically allocated in function of your account size.
Lastly, you can enable a volatility filter, so that if a single candle is larger than a pre-defined pip size, the robot will pause for a pre-determined amount of time.

Design & Operation
In this section you can learn more about the gist of the robot, our general design decisions, along with modes of operation.
Trading Logic
A trade is opened in most likely direction of price in function of a moving average. If take profit is hit, we anticipate continuation of trend. If stop loss is hit, we wait for the next move in the opposite direction, which triggers a trade. You can also set RSI and ADX for increased precision in the trading.
