Breakout Strategy

[vstrelnikov]

Strategy based on breakout indicator. Please download and install it, before using strategy.
Besides indicator parameters itself (period interval and box interval) there are several parameters
for strategy tuning. See parameters description below:

- Type of breakout - Open position after candle closes above high level, or open position immediately if incoming tick price is above high level.
- Once per day - Is strategy allowed to open positions several time during trading day.
- Excess (in pips) - Additional gap between high/low values and open price. 0 by default.

Note: Strategy don't have any 'exit' criteria except Stop/Limit orders, therefore Stop/Limit parameters are required for this strategy.

You can play with all above parameters to make the strategy most profitable.

Hi, could someone please help to clarify whether Both Indicator and Strategy require to have the Same Time Settings? Or does the Indicator just have to be loaded on a chart?

Thank You

The indicator must be installed so that strategy could work.
But you do not need to added it to the chart.
They are independent.

Two Issues:

1) It would be good for Strategies to be De-Activated AUTO when Logging Out. This so as to prevent them from running immediately when logging back in.

2) Would be good to have an option to activate or de-activate all Strategies with ONE BUTTON.
(Start All) - (Stop All)

3) For those trading more than ONE account, to be able to select accounts to be traded with a selected Strategy, instead of having to load the same Strategy for each account.

4) Should 3 above require premium support, please inform me.

Thank You Apprentice!
