Two identical trading systems based on the change in the ColorJFatl_Digit moving direction for long and short trades, which can be configured in different ways in one Expert Advisor. For this purpose, all input parameters can be divided into two large groups:
- Parameters starting with the letter L are used for managing long positions
- Parameters starting with the letter S are used for managing short positions
//+----------------------------------------------+ //| EA's input parameters for long positions     | //+----------------------------------------------+ input uint    L_Magic=777;          //L magic number input double  L_MM=0.1;            //L share of a deposit per trade input MarginMode L_MMMode=LOT;      //L lot setting mode
//+----------------------------------------------+ //| EA's input parameters for short positions    | //+----------------------------------------------+ input uint    S_Magic=555;          //S magic number input double  S_MM=0.1;            //S share of a deposit per trade input MarginMode S_MMMode=LOT;      //S lot setting mode
Different magic numbers are used for these trading systems, so they are two independent systems. Real financial markets are rarely symmetric. Different parameters of the same trading systems are often needed for trading in the rising and falling market. To properly configure the EA, you should first test only one trading system and disable the second one.
input bool    L_PosOpen=true;      //L permission to enter long positions input bool    L_PosClose=true;      //L permission to exit long positions
After that perform the same for the second system.
For a correct operation of the Expert Advisor, you should add the ColorJFatl_Digit.ex5 compiled indicator file to <terminal_data_folder>\MQL5\Indicators.
Default input parameters of the Expert Advisor were used during the tests shown below. Stop Loss and Take Profit were not used during testing.
