[WARNING]

---

• The main purpose of this purely mechanical expert is to make use of statistical and analytical observations to gain insight into how markets work. 
• Using it for trading could result in financial loss.

[MAIN IDEA]

---

• At the beginning of the period, we’ll take the current value of the time-dependent variable which in case ask price of an fx instrument as a reference.
• Then performing addition and subtraction on this value by user-specified range to obtain high and low breakout levels.
• If price breaks high level upward buy-stop or sell-limit order will get opened.
• If price breaks low level downward buy-limit or sell-stop order will get opened.
• Take-Profit and Stop-Loss levels are determined by taking specific portion of the range in pips.
• If trade ends with loss, it will get compensate it in the next trade if requested by user by incrementing volume or take-profit level as set.

• PERIODICITY MODES
• Weekly: take close price of a specific hour of a day of week as reference.
• Daily: take close price of a specific hour of any day as reference.
• NonStop: take current price immediately as reference, if there isn’t any trade opened.
• RANGE CALCULATION MODES
• ATR: user-specified percentage of ATR(20).
• Percent: user-specified percentage of current price.
• Fixed: constant user-specified pips.
• TRADE MODES
• Stop: if high breaks open buy, if low breaks open sell.
• Limit: if high breaks open sell, if low breaks open buy.
• Random: randomly select orders. doesn’t work in tester mode. 
• TRADE PARAMETERS
• Range Percentage: percentage of calculated range used to evaluate take-profit and stop-loss.
• Take-Profit Percentage: take-profit in pips as percentage of derived range.
• Stop-Loss Percentage:  stop-loss in pips as percentage of derived range.
• LOT MANAGEMENT MODES
• Constant: never increment volume after loss.
• Linear: multiply volume by linearly incremented coefficients after loss. (1, 2, 3, 4, …)
• Martingale: multiply volume by a number between 1 and 2 after loss.
• Fibonacci: increment volume as fibonacci sequence after loss. (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, …)
• OTHER MONEY MANAGEMENT PARAMETERS
• Margin Percentage: how much of free margin will be used in trade initally or trade after winning trade.
• Lot Multiplier: multiplier used in martingale mode.
• Range Multiplier: multiplier used to increment take profit level after each loss. this was based on an assumption that previous loss increases the interval of success.

• Profit and Loss counts are highly dependent on the selection of take-profit and stop-loss ratios. if these ratios converges counts are converges also and vice versa.
• Lower take-profit ratio relative to stop-loss increases chance of success in short term, but rare cases like consecutive losses greater than expected crashes equity. randomizing will reduce the probability of encountering these types of risk.
