Virtual Trade Signals Before Real Orders and Averaging Controls
Summary
The document describes a trading robot that first opens simulated positions to monitor the market, then begins placing real orders after a configured entry condition is met. Its settings cover timeframe, slippage, order identifiers, stop loss and take profit, initial and maximum position size, and limits on the number and spacing of trades. It also includes controls for when real trading starts and when averaging applies to real positions.
Several parameters govern stepped or multiplied sizing for virtual and real orders, suggesting a staged averaging approach. The text recommends a demo account, but gives no entry formula, instrument, tested results, or risk analysis. The parameter descriptions are brief and sometimes ambiguous, so they are not enough to infer exact execution behavior or assess whether the method is suitable for live trading.
Key ideas
- The robot uses simulated trades to monitor conditions before opening real positions.
- Stop loss, take profit, order spacing, and a maximum trade count are configurable.
- Separate stepper settings control position sizing for simulated and real orders.
- The text provides no performance evidence or complete trading rules.
