Hey there, fellow traders! I go by the nickname Vangabestia, and I've been navigating the forex waters for over a decade now. Recently, I’ve decided to dive into the world of Expert Advisors (EAs), and I can’t wait to share my journey with you!
Introducing the Sophia1_1 EA
So, let’s talk about my latest project: the Sophia1_1 EA. This little gem is my first foray into programming with MetaTrader 4. I started by tweaking an existing program called Ilan1.4, focusing on refining the market entry logic. The strategy kicks in when it spots three consecutive candles of the same color in a market that's moving in the opposite direction. For position management, I’ve incorporated trailing stops and a Martingale approach to help maximize potential returns.
