Introducing the Random Trader EA

If you're looking for a fresh approach to trading, the Random Trader EA might just be your new best friend. This innovative system employs a random trading strategy while keeping a tight grip on risk management. With a range of customizable parameters, you can tailor it to fit your trading style like a glove.

Key Features:

  • Random entry system for Buy/Sell positions
  • Flexible stop loss calculation (choose between ATR-based or fixed pip distance)
  • Breakeven functionality with customizable activation distance
  • Smart margin management that utilizes maximum available margin
  • Compatible with all symbol types, including standard Forex pairs, JPY pairs, and cryptocurrencies
  • Handles pip values correctly for different digit formats (2, 3, 4, or 5 digits)



Input Parameters:

1. Reward/Risk Ratio (reward_risk_ratio)
   Default: 2
   Description: This is the multiplier for the take profit distance relative to the stop loss distance.
   Example: A value of 2 means the take profit will be twice the distance of the stop loss.

2. Loss Calculation Method (loss)
   Options:
   - ATR (Average True Range based)
   - PIP (Fixed pip distance)
   Description: This determines how the stop loss distance is calculated.

3. ATR Multiplier (loss_atr)
   Description: This multiplier is used for the ATR value when calculating the stop loss distance, but only when the Loss Calculation Method is set to ATR.

4. Fixed Pip Distance (loss_pip)
   Description: This is a fixed number of pips for the stop loss distance, used only when the Loss Calculation Method is set to PIP.

5. Risk Percent Per Trade (risk_percent_per_trade)
   Description: This sets the maximum risk per trade as a percentage of your account balance.
   Range: 0.1 to 100
   Example: A value of 1 means you're risking 1% of your account balance per trade.

6. Use Breakeven (use_breakeven)
   Description: This feature allows you to enable or disable the breakeven function. When it's enabled, the stop loss moves to your entry price once your position hits the specified profit.

7. Breakeven Distance (breakeven_distance)
   Description: This is the number of pips in profit required to activate the breakeven feature.
   Example: A value of 10 means the stop loss moves to the entry price when your position is 10 pips in profit.

8. Use Maximum Margin (use_max_margin)
   Default: true
   Description: This enables or disables automatic lot size adjustments based on the available margin. When enabled, it reduces the position size to fit your available margin if necessary.



Trading Logic:
The EA opens positions randomly, giving you a 50/50 chance for either Buy or Sell when no position is currently open. The position size is calculated based on your risk percentage and stop loss distance, ensuring consistent risk management across trades. Plus, it includes built-in safety features like margin checking and lot size validation to keep you secure.

Risk Management:
  • Dynamic position sizing based on your account's risk percentage
  • Automatic lot size adjustment for margin requirements
  • Breakeven feature to help protect your profits
  • A 10% margin buffer for added safety
  • Proper handling of broker's minimum and maximum lot sizes

Remember, past performance is not indicative of future results. Always practice sound risk management and test thoroughly on a demo account before diving into live trading.
