Xbot

XBot EA is a simple, yet powerful, EA based on price action. It attempts to identify the market trend, and then places trades in the opposite direction. It is equipped with an advanced method for closing trades while in profit. It also features a classic trailing stop closure method. No risky strategies are adopted, no hedging nor martingales, and therefore the EA is suitable to be also used with low-size accounts.

Usage

The EA can be used with any pair, but the default parameters are optimized for GBPUSD. In particular, it is important to keep the default trade hours parameters, which correspond to the end of the New York session. Account sizes as low as 100 EUR (or USD) can be used. When using this EA with even lower account sizes, it is recommended to start with the minimum lot size (0.01). The chart time period should be set to M5.

Recommendations

A 5-Digits broker is mandatory. The broker should provide low spreads on the average (for GBPUSD less than 15-16 pips) and fast connection to the server.

It is important to underline that this EA enter trades only when the average spread is below the maximum spread (input parameter).
