In the world of digital technologies, automatized trading systems (also known as expert advisors (EA)<\/a>, or trading robots) gain more and more popularity. While a decade ago Forex<\/a> traders looked cautiously at the expert advisors, nowadays you can hardly find an experienced trader not interested in those. Let us find out what expert advisors<\/a> are and why they are so popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any trader on the market has their own trading system, in accordance with which they make operations, otherwise, profit on Forex becomes random because in any point of the chart the price has an equal possibility of moving upwards or downwards. If there were no spreads or fees for trades, the chances for the profit would be fairer; however, as long as it is not possible to trade without expenses, it is necessary to have a trading system that generates at least 55% of profitable trades — then the trader has all chances for making a profit; and the higher the profitability of the trading system, the more the trader can earn on the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, the trader cannot keep an eye on the market 24 hours a day, as any person needs to sleep, not to say eat, go out and breathe some fresh air. What is more, there are force majeure situations: internet connection failures, power cuts, etc. All the aforementioned impede the work of the trading system, as there is always a possibility of the signal to appear the very moment when you are not watching the terminal; as a result, your good trading history differs dramatically from what you actually get. All the aforementioned led to the creation of trading robots that can watch the market 24 hours a day and open or close the positions at the most suitable moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we are going to discuss one of the most popular robots called System CCI<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Description of the work and parameters of the System CCI<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The System CCI expert advisor works on the basis of the well-known indicator Commodity Channel Index (CCI hereafter), included in the standard list of indicators<\/a> of the MetaTrader 4 <\/a>terminal. For opening a position, the signal line of the CCI and the default levels of the EA<\/a> are used. The levels are customizable for a more precise opening of positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Description<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, let us discuss the parameters of the EA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

r<\/strong> is the mode of the EA, where True means the advisor is on, and False — the advisor is off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exit_mode <\/strong>regulates the opening of positions; True — the expert advisor may open positions, False — the EA finishes work with the positions already open and does not open new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lot <\/strong>sets up the size of the lot for the first positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MaxL <\/strong>limits the maximal order<\/a> volume in the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LotMultiplicator <\/strong>sets the multiplier for the Lot. Becomes valid from the third position opened in the same direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Profit<\/a><\/strong> is the size of the Take Profit<\/a> for the first trade. If another position is opened in the same direction, the Take Profit is no longer valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop Loss<\/a><\/strong> is the size of the Stop Loss<\/a> for the first trade. For subsequent trades in the same direction, this Stop Loss is not valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

hSETKY <\/strong>is the parameter defining the distance (in points) between orders in the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uvel_SETKI <\/strong>allows to make the size of the grids in the network dynamic or fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0<\/strong> means that the distance between the orders in the network will be equal to hSETKY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 <\/strong>— the distance between orders will increase in proportion with the number of open orders. The distance is calculated as hSetky+ShagUvel_SETKY*the number of orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 <\/strong>— in this case, the distance between the orders of the network will decrease in proportion with the number of open orders. The formula is hSetky-ShagUvel_SETKY*the number of orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ShagUvel_SEYKY <\/strong>— the parameter influences the speed of increasing or decreasing the distance between the orders in the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trailing_mode <\/strong>sets up the work mode of TrailingStop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1<\/strong> — in this case, one level of TrailingStop for all positions opened in one direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2<\/strong> — the trading robot will follow three closing levels of orders: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
