The strategy is based on Bill Williams' indicators and my universal template. It uses Alligator, Fractals, AO and AC indicators. Buy entries: the Alligator mouth points upwards, AO and AC are in a green zone, the price is higher or equal to the last "upper" fractal. The product is designed for 4 and 5-digit quotes and should be launched on a VPS server.
Expert Advisor Installation
It is recommended to launch the EA on several adjacent currency pairs with the same magical numbers. For example:
- GBP USD , EUR USD , AUD USD , NZD USD ;
- or USD CAD, USD CHF;
- or GBP JPY , EUR JPY , AUD JPY , NZD JPY ;
- or other similar linked pairs.
Make sure to allow multitrading. If Inp_Multicurrency is true , the EA works with the same magic number on all symbols it is launched on. When a specified profit, drawdown, breakeven or trailing is reached, all orders in the same/opposite direction are closed and the trading is started anew.
In order to provide operation of the news filter: In the terminal, open Tools ---> Options ---> Expert Advisors ---> add " http://calendar.fxstreet.com " to the "Allow WebRequest for listed URL list" field.
