Bar Mode is an automated system that uses bar opening and closings to consider opening or closing trades. It uses a special algorithm to increase profits per trade and it uses grid to recover losing trades.

Strategy has been back tested and optimized for the market moves in the last 2 years. 

Add the EA on a EURUSD chart using M5 timeframe, and use one of the set files here.

Minimum funds is $250 and a broker with 1:500 leverage recommended. 

If your currency pairs are named differently by your broker, you will need to change it on the EA settings.  Ex: EURUSDp 

It best performs with a single pair, EURUSD giving the best performance). Avoid JPY and GBP pairs as they may become uncomfortably volatile. 

  • Strategy has been back tested and optimized for the market moves in the last 2 years, on M5 chart for EURUSD.  2 years should give you a good idea on what to expect, however you can optimize it for a longer period if you wish.
  • Make sure you have enough tick data for 2 years. If not, download the tick data from Meta Trader servers.  Go to Tools->History Center-> Click on EURUSD M5 and click Download.
  • Do not back test with default settings. Use one of the set files that come with the EA instead. You will find a readme.pdf file in the zip archive. Please read that. 
  • Select spread as ‘2’ on Strategy Tester. 
  • Remember, the set files are optimized for 2 years. So, either back test for the last 2 years or optimize it for more than 2 years.
