Example E2: Three trades

caution

This is not a ready-to-use trading strategy. A trading strategy requires adjustment to the timeframe and symbol, along with thorough backtesting. The example is intended as a foundation for your own custom strategy and to help you get familiar with the Expert Advisor Builder web application. To import and use an example, please follow the instructions provided here.

Description​

This example extends trade splitting to three positions with different entry and exit points. The first split enters at 80 % risk with full volume, while the second enters at 150 % risk with 50% volume and exits at 200 % risk. This creates a sophisticated scaling system with multiple profit targets.

Each split can have independent exit levels, allowing partial profit-taking at predetermined points. This approach locks in gains progressively while keeping portions of the position for larger moves. The main trade targets 2.40 risk ratio, seeking substantial profits on the core position.

Multiple exit points reduce psychological pressure by securing profits incrementally. Traders often struggle with all-or-nothing exits; this graduated approach provides a balanced solution that satisfies both conservative and aggressive instincts.

Trade Basics

  • Operation type = Long

Signal Generation - Indicators - STD

  • Signal in use = On
  • Signal used for = Forward
  • Selected indicator = STD
  • Draw in chart = Off
  • Forward adjustment = 3.50

Signal Generation - Indicators (MACD Main line)

  • Signal in use = On
  • Signal used for = Entry
  • Selected indicator = MACD
  • Line index = Main line
  • Draw in chart = On
  • Drawing slot = 1

Signal Generation - Indicators (MACD Signal line)

  • Signal in use = On
  • Signal used for = Entry
  • Selected indicator = MACD
  • Line index = Signal line
  • Draw in chart = On
  • Drawing slot = 2

Signal Generation - Indicator Combinations (MACD Main line & MACD Signal line)

  • Signal in use = On
  • Signal used for = Entry
  • Input indicator 1 = MACD (Main line)
  • Input indicator 2 = MACD (Signal line)
  • Value relation = Value 1 cross value 2

Initial Stop Loss

  • Selection = Indicator
  • Used indicator = STD

Initial Take Profit

  • Selection = Risk ratio
  • Risk ratio = 2.40
