Example E3: Four 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 implements four-position trade splitting, creating a complex scaling strategy. Each split has specific entry points and volumes, with the final position using only 25% volume entering at 200 % risk. This pyramid approach maximizes position size in winning trades while minimizing risk.

The staggered entries at 80, 150, and 200 % risk create multiple confirmation points before full position deployment. Early exits at 200 and 220 % risk for later splits ensure profit-taking even if trends reverse. This sophisticated structure balances aggression with protection.

Four-level splitting represents advanced position management suitable for strong trending markets. The complexity requires careful monitoring but can significantly enhance profitability when trends persist beyond initial targets.

Recreate the Example​

You can either import this example directly or set it up manually. To manually replicate the trading module, make sure a newly added module includes the following key settings and that the professional mode is activated:

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

Trade Splitting 1

  • Open volume = 100
  • Open position = 80
  • Close position = 0

Trade Splitting 2

  • Open volume = 50
  • Open position = 150
  • Close position = 200
