• Easy to set up and supervise
• The strategy is time-frame independent
• Deals are completely hedged for a zero exposure
• The strategy is neutral to gaps, swings and stop-hunting
• Theoretically, is a zero-risk strategy
• It is NFA/FIFO compliant

It implements a set of unique features:

• You decide which pair set to trade
• Adapts to spread and commissions
• Implements an optional trade-expiration feature
• Customizable price trigger and profit target
• The EA can handle up to 200ms latency

It can trade any of the following pair rings:

• EURUSD, EURGBP and GBPUSD
• EURUSD, EURAUD and AUDUSD
• EURUSD, EURNZD and NZDUSD
• EURCHF, EURUSD and USDCHF
• EURCAD, EURUSD and USDCAD

Usage Tips

• The EA evaluates every 200 miliseconds, not every tick.
• The EA only trades when the price discrepancy in the pair ring is above the combined spreads and commissions.
• Therefore, higher spreads lead to less trading frequency and smaller spreads to higher trading frequency.
• If one of the three trades fails to open for any reason, all the other trades are closed to avoid losses.
• Trades are placed without stop-loss and take-profit: all trades are managed as a single one.

Input Parameters

• Pair Ring: Select the pair ring to trade.
• Symbol Name Suffix: Type the suffix of the symbol names of your broker. For instance, if EURUSD is named EURUSDfx, “fx” is the
  suffix.
• Symbol Name Prefix: Type the prefix of the symbol names of your broker. For instance, if EURUSD is named mEURUSD, “m” is the prefix.
• Trade Trigger: The minimum price discrepancy to trade, in pips.
• Profit Target: The profit at which the deal is closed. This value must be below the trade trigger.
• Expiration of trades: Amount of time that must elapse to close a losing trade.
• Slippage: Maximum slippage on orders, in points.
• Custom Comment: Comment for the orders.

Important to know

The price discrepancies that this EA hunts for do not happen very often and the EA can sit idle for days
or weeks without trading, please be patient. Also note that there is substantial execution risk in employing a triangular
arbitrage strategy for retail traders due to slippage and latency. For example, if the EA is trying to trade a price discrepancy of 6
pips paying a combined 4 pips in spreads, a combined slippage of just 2 pips among the three pairs will kill the payoff of the trade.
