Original Turtle Rules Trader EA implements a trading system described in the book “The Original Turtle Trading Rules”.
According to the description given in the book, the famous Turtle Trader system consists of the following components:
- Selecting the size of a trading position depending on the current market volatility.
- Entering the market after the fast or slow Donchian channel breakout.
- Skipping the second signal following the first successful breakout.
- Adding new positions.
- Placing and moving stop orders.
- Exiting positions.
In full compliance with the description,
- the system automatically tracks the current market volatility and calculates the optimal trading lot – unit;
- the algorithm visualizes three Donchian channels on the chart: System 1 and System 2 channels, as well as the fast channel for exiting a position;
- the EA skips the channel breakout (regardless of its outcome) if a successful trading signal was implemented before that;
- the algorithm tracks a trade, closes a position after the fast channel breakout or adds positions after specified volatility intervals;
- the EA sets and moves stops.
Instead of closing trades after the fast channel breakout, the algorithm can use the Parabolic SAR system or simply set a take profit.
