Fix Up is based on a steady breakdown pattern of the current channel. This pattern is revealed by means of spectral analysis of the price over a long period of time and is successfully developed over a period of 20 years.
Fix Up has a built-in mechanism for calculating profits, and also closes transactions for virtual Stop Loss and Take Profit, which are more than 40 points for 4-digit quotes. The advisor works on the following currency pairs: EURUSD, EURGBP, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF. All settings are inscribed in the data file and transferred to the Expert Advisor directly.
The working timeframe is 30 minutes, but also takes into account the older timeframes of 60 minutes and 1 day.
Fix up does not use dangerous strategies like scalping, martingale and does not build a grid of warrants - there is always max. one order per currency pair in the market.
Our opinion
The tested version is from the 06.11.2018 and the backtests are showing a bad performance after this date. So it seems the EA is over optimized for the last years and not able to make profits in unpredictable markets. Currently not recommended for live trading.Live performance
Fixed lot size backtests
Why do we use fixed lot size (0.1 lots)? Check our educational page.
