Hey fellow traders! Today, I want to dive into an interesting trading strategy using RndTrade on MetaTrader 4. This system operates on a straightforward rule: every four hours, a position is opened based on a random number generator. Let me break it down for you.
When a new position opens, the MathRand() function kicks in. If the number it generates exceeds 16383.5 (which is half of 32767), the system goes for a buy. If it falls below that, it opts for a sell. It’s like flipping a coin but with a bit more flair! Each position is closed after four hours, and then the cycle starts all over again.
