This expert advisor was developed to work on highly correlated currency pairs. These pairs were selected and tested for a considerable period of time:
GBPUSD - EURUSD
GBPJPY - USDJPY
Trading is done on 2 currency pairs at the same time. It will simultaneously open a sell position on one and a buy position on the other, thus providing some protection against large drawdowns. It is also designed to trade with inversely correlated pairs, taking a buy position on both or a sell position on both.
The strategy is based on the observation that highly correlated pairs don’t diverge very far from each other. When they do diverge, the likelihood that they will converge again is high. Counter positions are opened when the pairs diverge by a predetermined degree. Profits are taken when they converge again.
This EA will work well on any pairs that are determined to correlate to a high degree. In addition to the above pairs, here are some other examples of currency pairs that can be successfully traded with this EA.
GBPAUD - GBPCAD
USDJPY - GBPJPY
NZDCAD - NZDUSD
AUDUSD - EURAUD (inverse)
EURSGD - USDSGD (inverse)
AUDUSD - AUDCAD
NZDJPY - NZDUSD
GBPCAD - GBPUSD
GBPNZD - GBPCHF
EURCHF - USDCHF
USDJPY - CADJPY
AUDUSD - AUDCHF
To determine the most suitable pairs to trade, readily available online correlation tools can be used to find the highest degree of positive or negative correlation. Other instruments can also be traded with this EA, such as GOLD/SILVER and Indices CFDs such as DE30/UK100 and DE30/US30.
To start using this EA, attach the EA to the chart of the first pair, and enter the name of the second pair to trade in the properties dialogue window, and both pairs will appear on one chart. You can also trade multiple pair combinations on one account.
The recommended time frames to trade are M5, M15 and H1.
The EA has been designed to display a working panel on the chart, so many parameters can be changed quickly without delving into the EA properties.
Here is a working example of the EA trading with the EURUSD - GBPUSD.
1.MAIN CONTROL PANEL:
Here is where you set the lot size, delta (deviation), Stop Loss, Profit Close and other settings on the fly. It is very convenient and quick to make changes.
2. MANUAL CONTROL PANEL:
Here is where you can manually close and open trades, as well as supervise trailing loss if necessary. When the tab “Manual Control” is pressed, the EA no longer works automatically and the user has total control of the opening and closing of positions. If in trailing profit mode, it will close positions if a profit has been reached, or the user presses the CLOSE tab.
3. INFORMATION PANEL:
Monitor your account profit or loss.
All the settings on the Main Control Panel will be saved if you wish to restart your MT4 or your computer.
A closer look at the MAIN CONTROL PANEL
MANUAL CONTROL PANEL
When the entered loss in deposit currency is hit, when trailing loss has been selected in the EA parameters (see explanation later), the control panel changes to manual trading mode, after which no new positions will be opened.
“The EA is in manual mode” will be displayed in red on the top right hand corner of the chart and the 3 tabs: “manual control”, “trailing” and “loss” will appear depressed.
This will immediately input a hard Stop Loss at the points level chosen in the middle input box, if this level has been reached.
The loss will be trailed and the positions will be closed automatically if a profit has been reached, or they can be closed manually by pressing the “close” tab.
New positions can be opened at any time with the “open” tab.
In the parameters, a trailing loss is optional. Immediate close can be selected, which means all positions will be closed if the indicated loss in deposit currency has been reached.
