MovingFlat

This Expert Advisor implements a trading system based on moving flat breakout. It monitors the market for a flat state and opens a new position upon breakout, then it can close it on a predefined profit, exit by a stop loss, or add more lots by flexible steps for averaging. Multiple work instruments can be used.

The flat state is detected as a specified number of consecutive bars, during which price remains within a reasonably small range. If one of the next several bars closes outside the range, the signal for corresponding trade is generated.

The Expert Advisor supports two modes: tick by tick trade and bar by bar trade. The latter means explicit control of bar opening, and it is used by default, as demonstrating best results. When in the bar by bar mode, there is no difference in performance between "every tick" and "open prices" testing, so the latter can be used for fast optimization without loss of accuracy.

It is strongly recommended to test the trading robot (as well as any other) while logged in a real account, because demo accounts may provide very poor quality of quotes (depends on broker). Results of testing and optimization on a demo account may be misleading.
