When you launch this EA, it opens positions across all specified currency pairs with the minimum volume. If a trade goes sour, it’s reversed, while profitable trades have their volumes increased. Once the total profit or loss hits the parameters set, all positions are closed out.

Take a look at the testing results of the EA in the next figure.

  • Feel free to use as many currency pairs as you like. Just tweak the EA code to add or remove pairs.
  • Adding a filter can lead to more stable trade results.
