Therefore, before using this tool, visit the instructions page by clicking on the link in the copyright section when loading the Expert Advisor on the chart, as shown in the screenshot.
The idea of this Expert Advisor was for the trader to make an initial decision about when and in which direction to open a trade. But after opening the transaction, it will be controlled by a robot, devoid of any emotions. The trader decides in advance whether the robot needs to stop/turn around if the trade becomes unprofitable. The trader also sets a new lot size in each subsequent trade. Up to 15 consecutive trades are allowed.
You can choose to take a profit, break even, or take a small loss.
In the strategy tester, a trader can “practice” trading and try different settings for different pairs.
Why it works:
As soon as the market is entered at a certain price, and the market passes a certain distance from this price in any direction, the EA either follows the trend to the take profit level, or closes and turns over, moving in the other direction to a new take profit level.

The enemy of this style of trading is the flat market. Trade when there is movement in the market, or when it is expected due to the release of news. This tool can be compared to a hammer. You can either earn or destroy your account. It all depends on you. Use the product wisely.
Good luck!
Note: The free demo version allows you to test CADJPY, CADCHF, GBPCAD, GBPUSD, GBPJPY, EURGBP.
