PriceTracker EA trading styles

Let’s take a closer look at each trading style.


1. PriceTracker-Classic

All previous accumulated experience of real trading is taken into account here. Trading is only one-way, no counter deals, the emphasis is on stable and safe trading. I can say with confidence that PriceTracker-Classic is very resistant to absolutely any market conditions, any price movements and shows simply amazing results in terms of stability. Even when used with a risk level = 1.0, I would classify the system as conservative and less risky. But even when working with this style of trading, the system allows you to achieve large results in a short period due to the use of 15 currency pairs on the account simultaneously, which are equally very resistant to any market.


2. PriceTracker-Smart-Martingale

Here you should not be afraid of the word martingale, since the style is very far from the classic/proportional increase in lot size, which also gives us the opportunity to safely use all 15 currency pairs in trading without fear of a high load on the balance. The lot size increases only at a certain step (number of open positions). I use the following setting:

Activate_Smart_Martingale                             = true
Lots_x                                              = 2.0
Positions_Step_for_Lots_Multiplication            = 5

That is, every 5 transactions the lot will be increased by 2 times. But unlike Classic, this style uses a larger distance between deals, which reduces the load on the deposit. As practice has shown, this style can be classified as moderately risky, which allows you to achieve profits much faster and an order of magnitude greater.

3. PriceTracker-Aggressive

This is already quite an aggressive style for risk lovers. I do not recommend using this style with a risk level greater than 0.5 (Risk_value). Several functions are activated here:

  • aggressive mode – tracking entry points in both positive and negative zones of price deviation from the last transaction,
  • smart-martingale – increasing the lot size with a certain step (by default: multiplying by 2, every 5 transactions),
  • dynamic profit – increase in profit depending on the number of open transactions (by default: increase in profit by 20 times, every 3 transactions).

Here are the parameters responsible for all additional functions:

Activate_Aggressive_Mode                            = true

Activate_Smart_Martingale                             = true
Lots_x                                                = 2.0
Positions_Step_for_Lots_Multiplication           = 5

Use_dinamic_profit                                    = true
Ratio_for_dinamic_Profit                              = 20
Positions_step_for_dinamic_Profit                   = 3

Below are the results in different styles.

Very important! When testing PriceTracker, you see results for only one currency pair and the current drawdown only for the currency pair being tested. That is, in the tester you will not see the main algorithm underlying the PriceTracker system – this is the equilibrium/diversification phase, the so-called compensation/containment of the floating drawdown of one or several instruments due to growth and profit-taking on others. This is achieved by using 15 different currency pairs with different trading logics simultaneously.
