Intervallo consigliato

Any unique integer

Identifies this EA's positions so it never touches another EA's trades. Change it only to avoid a collision on the same account.

Predefinito

3

Intervallo consigliato

1 or more

How far the fill may deviate from the requested price before the order is rejected. On an index this matters more than on a currency pair.

Predefinito

true

Intervallo consigliato

—

Allows at most one entry per H1 bar. The record was measured with this on; turning it off lets the EA re-enter inside the same bar and changes the strategy.

Predefinito

9

Intervallo consigliato

—

The conversion line period. The signal is this line crossing the base line, so this and the next input define the entire entry.

Predefinito

28

Intervallo consigliato

—

The base line period. 28 rather than the conventional 26 — it came out of the search that produced this build, and the record was measured at 28.

Predefinito

52

Intervallo consigliato

—

The leading span period. It is part of the indicator's calculation; the cross itself is read from the conversion and base lines.

Predefinito

9

Intervallo consigliato

—

The second Ichimoku handle the cross is measured against. Matched to the first by design — the two are read as one signal.

Predefinito

28

Intervallo consigliato

—

The base line on the second handle, matched to the first.

Predefinito

52

Intervallo consigliato

—

The leading span on the second handle, matched to the first.

Predefinito

0.1

Intervallo consigliato

Broker min lot or more

Says 0.1, but the index contract has a 3.0 minimum, so every order in the published record was filled at 3 lots. Leaving it at 0.1 reproduces the record on a broker with the same minimum.

1.2605

Intervallo consigliato

—

A percentage of the entry price, not a pip count — on a 40,000 index this is roughly 500 points. It scales with the index level, which is why it is expressed this way.

Predefinito

0.0

Intervallo consigliato

—

Zero means there is no take-profit. Buys are closed by the stop or by the trailing stop, never by a fixed target.

Predefinito

1.2605

Intervallo consigliato

—

The same distance on the short side. The EA is symmetric — it treats a cross down exactly as it treats a cross up.

Predefinito

0.0

Intervallo consigliato

—

Zero on the short side as well. There is no target anywhere in this build.

Predefinito

14

Intervallo consigliato

—

How many bars the average range is measured over. The signal bar is compared against this average before any trade is taken.

Predefinito

1.5

Intervallo consigliato

—

The signal bar's range must be at least this multiple of the recent average. It is what turns a common indicator cross into a setup that appears about four times a month.

Predefinito

1

Intervallo consigliato

—

One position at a time. A cross that appears while a trade is open is ignored — this is what keeps the EA off any grid or averaging behaviour.

Predefinito

1

Intervallo consigliato

—

The smallest move that will pull the trailing stop along. At 1 it follows almost continuously.

Predefinito

0.7563

Intervallo consigliato

—

How far behind price the trailing stop sits, again as a percentage rather than a pip count. With no take-profit in the build, this input is what decides how much of a move the EA keeps.
