OpenTicks Expert Advisor with Partial Profit Taking

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document briefly describes an Expert Advisor called OpenTicks. At each new bar, it evaluates the previous four bars, though it does not explain the exact signal rules or how those observations determine entries. It also describes a position-management option: when a position is open, the trailing logic checks whether a profitable position can be partially closed, controlled by a HalfLots setting.

The text gives no performance results, market, timeframe, or risk rules, and its strategy description is too sparse to reproduce or assess. It credits the idea to one author and the code to another, but provides no further methodological detail. The useful takeaway is limited to the combination of a four-bar review at bar opening and optional partial closing of profitable positions during trailing management.

Key ideas

  • The advisor reviews the preceding four bars whenever a new bar opens.
  • A HalfLots setting controls whether a profitable position may be partially closed.
  • The partial close is described as part of the trailing logic.
  • The document does not specify entry rules, exit thresholds, or evidence of performance.
