AW Swing Trading EA Instructions and Description of the Expert Advisor

06/10/2021

AW Swing Trading EA - An advanced tool for swing trading on corrective price movements. It works on trend rollbacks in the direction of its continuation, the size of the required correction is determined by the current volatility of the instrument or manually by the trader. After detecting a correction along the current trend, the EA waits for a signal to complete the correction and continue the trend, and then opens a position.

Benefits:

  • Built-in autolot
  • Customizing signals for opening orders
  • Fully automated trading system, with the ability to add manual orders
  • Trend filtering
  • Dynamic pitch for baskets
  • Different types of order animation
  • Built-in overlap
  • All types of notifications
  • Dynamic retracement size based on volatility.

How the advisor works.

For the convenience of users, this EA has created graphical elements in the form of rectangles that are dynamic in height. The rectangles count the fluctuations (blue for buy, red for sell) blue rectangle at the Ask price, red at the Bid price .

Red rectangle - when the price moves down, the lower (thin) border of the red rectangle moves behind it. When the price moves up, the red rectangle remains stationary. When the price breaks through the upper border of the red rectangle, the EA starts waiting for a signal for a possible trend reversal to open an order.

Blue rectangle - for opening Buy orders. Here, on the contrary, the upper border (thin), when the price goes up, then the rectangle moves after the price higher, when the price drops below, then the rectangle does not move, if the lower border of the blue rectangle is broken, the EA will wait for the signal to complete the correction and open an order.

The size of the rectangle in points can be fixed, or it can be determined by the current volatility. If "Use ATR for StepLevel" = "true", then the advisor will determine the size of the necessary correction to open orders based on the ATR indicator readings. The minimum size of the correction (limit for the minimum value) in this case will be determined by the variable " Minimal StepLevel for entry".

If trend filtering is enabled, the EA determines the current trend direction using the AW Trend Predictor indicator. When trend filtering is disabled, the EA works in two directions at once, analyzing fluctuations from the current price.

That is, the advisor determines the direction of the current trend, then after the onset of the correction, the advisor waits for a signal from the custom candlestick indicator and when the correction is completed (the correction is a rebound to the sub-edge of the rectangle), the advisor opens an order, after which the trend continues again. Thus: the EA works on reversible movements after the correction. When there is a correction, the advisor analyzes with the help of a candle filter that there is an opportunity for a reversal, when such a moment comes, the advisor will open an order.

When an order is opened, the rectangle is deleted, after the order is closed, a new rectangle is created with a thin border near the current price.

The candlestick filter, which determines that the correction is completed, works according to the current timeframe. The EA opens only one order per candlestick.
