A Moving Average Trend Filter and Profit-Target Grid for Forex

Summary

OverHedgeV2 is described as an expert advisor that manages a group of positions using aggregate and per-position profit thresholds. It closes positions opened by the advisor when the group reaches a total profit target, subject to a condition that no profitable position is below a minimum profit target. The document presents this points-based rule as an alternative to closing based only on total monetary profit, but supplies no comparative evidence.

Trend direction is determined by the separation between short and long moving averages: the short average above the long average indicates an upward trend, and the reverse indicates a downward trend, provided the configured minimum distance is met. Inputs also include a starting lot, an exponential position-volume basis tied to the number of open positions, a grid tunnel width, and a shutdown control. A EURUSD five-minute test is mentioned, but no results are reported. The description gives no drawdown analysis or safeguards for the increasing exposure that can accompany a grid and exponential sizing scheme.

Key ideas

• The advisor uses short and long moving averages separated by a minimum distance to classify trend direction.
• It manages the combined positions using a total profit target and a minimum profit condition for profitable positions.
• Position size is calculated from an initial lot and an exponential base applied to the number of open positions.
• Grid width and a shutdown setting are among the configurable controls.
• A EURUSD five-minute test is mentioned, but performance evidence and risk analysis are absent.
