Welcome to the RoboForex blog. Today, we will discuss the simplest trading algorithm you can ever imagine and perhaps the simplest MT4<\/a> robot on this blog. The Skdon Trend expert advisor<\/a><\/strong> is a trading algorithm based on another algorithm or, more precisely, technical indicator<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Skdon Trend working principles<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Skdon Trend robot is based on an indicator with the same name – Skdon Trend System, which, in its turn, is based on another indicator called Skdon Trend Signal. So, if you come across the phrase “the Skdon Trend Signal expert advisor”, keep in mind that it is most likely the indicator, not the expert advisor (make sure you download the right file as the robot is quite difficult to find).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The files with the robot and the indicator are to be distinguished because each of them must be kept in their respective catalog inside the MT4 terminal for the whole system to work correctly. Also, I advise you against renaming the files as it may lead to their complete inoperability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The indicator is not much more complicated than the expert advisor based on it. This is just a Moving Average<\/a> represented on the chart differently and lacking certain customizable parameters so that there are only two left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
