Maximize Your Profits with Elite eFibo Trader for MetaTrader 4

Unlock Your Trading Potential with Elite eFibo Trader MT4 If you're looking to take your trading game to the next level, the Elite eFibo Trader is a must-have tool for your MetaTrader 4 platform. Unlike a fully automated system, this Expert Advisor is designed to assist you in making informed trading decisions while handling the execution automatically. Think of it as your trading sidekick—helping you capitalize on your market bias, whether you're bullish or bearish on a currency. Imagine you believe the dollar is on the rise. With eFibo Trader, you can significantly boost your profits by optimizing your lot size while keeping your risk exposure limited to just a few pips. You even get to set your own risk limits, giving you complete control over your trading strategy. eFibo Trader shines in trending markets, allowing you to toggle between buying or selling as needed. Let’s take the EUR/USD as an example: If you were to simply buy the EUR/USD without the eFibo Trader, you might snag a gain of around 200 pips from the move. But with eFibo Trader in your corner, you could potentially rack up over 2000 pips—all while risking just the spread. How does that work? It’s all about smart positioning—you increase your trade size as you move into profit and adjust your stop loss accordingly. The goal is to trade with profits only, which is the essence of the eFibo Trader philosophy. The concept of Fibonacci isn’t new; it ties back to well-known principles like the Golden Ratio. eFibo Trader automates this strategy, minimizing the chance for error that can occur with manual execution, and it works seamlessly with any MetaTrader broker. How to Get Started with eFibo Trader The eFibo Trader operates by buying or selling any currency pair using a Fibonacci-based money management system. The default Fibonacci levels are adjustable, so feel free to tweak them to fit your strategy. Here’s the basic idea: In a trending market, you want to increase your position size as you move into profit. This means increasing your risk in line with your gains. At the same time, you’ll want to have some protective measures in place to avoid significant losses on larger positions. Take this scenario: if USD/CHF is trending downwards, eFibo will initiate sales of x lots once the pair drops by a specified number of pips to enter the first Fibonacci level. As the market continues to move in your favor, eFibo will sell more according to the Fibonacci levels: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and so on. The beauty is that you can customize these levels as per your trading style. Key Settings for eFibo Open_Buy: Enable this to allow the strategy to buy only. Open_Sell: Enable this to allow the strategy to sell only. LevelDistance: Sets the pips distance between each new buy/sell order. For example, if set to 20, a new order will be generated every 20 pips. StopLoss: This is the stop loss for each trade. If triggered, it will close all existing positions. MoneyTakeProfit: This specifies the dollar amount of profit to take. For example, if set to $2,000, all positions will close when the total profit from all trades reaches or exceeds $2,000. Lots_Level_1: This is the initial lot size for buy/sell orders. You can modify these values, but using Fibonacci levels is recommended. Remember, eFibo is a money management system, not a signal system or indicator-driven tool. It simplifies your trading approach by focusing on trend-following to maximize profits. When to Use eFibo Trader: When you identify a trend forming in any currency pair, across any time frame. When you have a clear bias on a particular currency. When NOT to Use eFibo: In sideways or ranging markets. When you're uncertain about market direction. Ready to give eFibo Trader a shot?

Unlocking Automated Trading with the Combo System for MetaTrader 4

Hey fellow traders! Today, I want to dive into an exciting automated trading system (ATS) known as the Combo System for MetaTrader 4. So, let’s get into the nuts and bolts of how this system can enhance your trading experience. What's the Concept Behind the Combo System? Imagine this: we start with a basic trading system (let's call it BTS) and aim to amp it up by teaching a neural network (NN) to handle tasks that our BTS simply can't manage. The goal here is to create a powerful duo of trading systems—our trusty BTS alongside the smart NN. To put it plainly, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Why train someone to sprint if you can just hop in a car? Similarly, why stick to one strategy when we can pair a trend-following ATS with a countertrend strategy? Combining Forces: Trend-Following & Countertrend With a trend-following ATS in our toolkit, we also need to teach our neural network how to recognize countertrend opportunities. This is crucial because a trend-based system may struggle when the market goes sideways or when it experiences pullbacks. Instead of running two separate ATSs on the same chart, we can teach the NN to complement our existing setup. How Does the Neural Network Work? We designed a two-layer NN, featuring two perceptrons in the lower layer and one in the upper layer. The output can land in one of three states: Entering the market with a long position Entering the market with a short position Indeterminate state (passing control back to the BTS) Teaching the Neural Network The training of the NN unfolds in three stages, with each stage focusing on a different perceptron. It's essential to have our optimized BTS running to guide the perceptrons effectively. Let’s walk through the stages: Stage 1: Optimizing the BTS We kick things off by setting our initial deposit at $1,000,000 to avoid any artificial margin calls during optimization. The first input we’ll optimize is labeled “Balance” in our Expert Advisor (EA) properties. Under the Inputs tab, we’ll set the position volume to 1 for the identifier “lots.” The optimization will be done with the model: “Open prices only,” which is the fastest method available. Stage 2: Training the Short Position Perceptron Next, we set the input “pass” to 2 and check only those inputs ending in 2 for optimization: x12, x22, x32, x42 - weights for short positions tp2 - TakeProfit for short positions sl2 - StopLoss for short positions p2 - analysis period for price differences Stage 3: Training the Long Position Perceptron For this stage, we set “pass” to 3 and check inputs that end in 3: x13, x23, x33, x43 - weights for long positions tp3 - TakeProfit for long positions sl3 - StopLoss for long positions p3 - analysis period for price differences Stage 4: Finalizing the Neural Network Training In the final stage, we set “pass” to 4 and check inputs that end in 4: x14, x24, x34, x44 - weights for the upper layer perceptron p4 - analysis period for price differences Wrapping Up And there you have it! Once all stages are completed, your neural network is ready to roll. Remember, the ATS also includes a unique magic number, which keeps your orders distinct from those initiated manually or by other ATSs. Final Thoughts Always ensure your initial deposit covers any potential drawdowns. The EA provided in the source code is unoptimized. For modifications, update the basicTradingSystem() function as needed. For hassle-free optimization, download the combo.set file and place it in your MT4 tester folder. Re-optimize your EA on weekends only if the previous week’s results were unprofitable. Happy trading!

Unlock Market Potential with Simple FX: Your Go-To EA for MetaTrader 4

Introducing Simple FX, a free EA designed to effortlessly navigate the Forex market using moving averages. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, this tool is user-friendly and adaptable. Simple FX allows you to customize two moving averages based on period, method, and type. You can also tweak the order settings, including lot size, slippage, and magic number. The beauty of this EA is its versatility; it can trade any currency pair with virtually any MT4 broker. For optimal results, it’s best to attach Simple FX to the daily (D1) chart time frame. The latest version, simplefx2.mq4, comes packed with exciting updates: Optional stop loss and take profit settings Bug fixes in stop loss and take profit code Now waits for the first moving average crossover If a stop loss or take profit is activated, it waits for the next MA crossover Important variables are now automatically saved to a file How Simple FX Works It’s as straightforward as it sounds! When the short moving average (MA) is above the long moving average, the trend is deemed bullish. In this scenario, the EA will close any open sell orders and open a buy order. Conversely, when the short MA dips below the long MA, the trend turns bearish, prompting the EA to close buy orders and initiate a sell order. This way, the EA continuously rides the market trends up and down. Quick Overview of Key Variables Stop Loss and Take Profit Both the Stop Loss and Take Profit settings are optional. You can leave them at zero, and the EA will still function seamlessly. However, if you want more control, you can set a take profit value, for example, 20 pips, by adjusting the Take Profit variable accordingly. Moving Average Methods Simple Moving Average (SMA) = 0 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) = 1 Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA) = 2 Linear Weighted Moving Average (LWMA) = 3 Applied Price Types Close Price = 0 Open Price = 1 High Price = 2 Low Price = 3 Median Price (default) = 4 Typical Price = 5 Weighted Close Price = 6 Happy trading!Best, Glenn Bacon (RobinHood)
