ORBIT EURUSD 1H Expert Advisor
Currency Pair:
Design Principles:
System Logic:
The Orbit EA utilizes the a combination of MACD and Keltner Channel to determine the prevailing trend. For a Long position the MACD must be below zero, while the Lower Band of the Keltner Channel is rising. For a Short position the MACD must be above zero, while the Upper Band of the Keltner Channel is falling. The EA then enters a trade via Stop Buy or Stop Sell orders which are calculated from Heikin Ashi Candles and the Average True Range indicator.
Trade Management:
The EA places a Stop Loss of 50 Pips and a Take Profit of 40 Pips immediately when entering a trade.
Money Management:
The Orbit EA is equipped with two money management options:
1. Fixed lot size:
With this money management strategy the expert advisor will trade with a fixed number of lots. This setting is typically used during the development of a new strategy as it allows to compare results between different systems. For real live trading, however, fixed lot size is not recommended since it doesn´t allow an EA to unfold its real potential by compounding profits.
2. Risk a fixed percentage of Account:
This is an advanced money management strategy that is recommended for real trading. The strategy will risk a given percentage of equity on every trade. This is a very effective money management strategy that will allow the expert advisor to increase the number of lots as the account grows. It is generally recommended to risk a maximum 2-5% of account equity per one trade.

Activation and Money Management Settings
Activation
Your Expert Advisor must be activated before you can use it.
With your license you can use any and as many Expert Advisors as you like on:
1 real money account or 1 demo account, but not at the same time.
To activate, please enter the license key that you will find in your account („My Account“). In addition, enter the e-mail address that you provided when registering for your membership.
Money Management Settings:
1. Fixed Lot Size (no money management):
Set „UseMoneyManagement“ to false.
Set „mmLotsIfNoMM“ to the Lotsize you wish (Default: 0.1 Lots).
2. Risk Fixed Percentage of your Account
This money management mode will never risk more than the percentage of your account you enter in the settings. But you will benefit of the power of compounding as the expert advisor will increase the lot size as your account grows.
Set „UseMoneyManagement“ to true.
Set „mmRiskPercent“ to the percentage of your account which you want to risk with any new trade. Recommended values range from 1 (low risk) to 5 (high risk).
You may set the „mmMaxLots“ to any value you want. This is mainly determined by the size of your trading account and sets a maximum lot size that is being traded.
