I am fully aware that some brokers do not allow multiple BUY/SELL for the same currency pair. However, some do and thus, why wouldnt the following system work ?:

1. Select a currency pair which trends more than others.
2. If the entry conditions are met then place a BUY or SELL trade.
3. if the trade goes your way then close trade and bag the profit.
4. if the trade goes against you then open a trade in the opposite direction.
5. repeat point 4 above until the total value of all trades is greater than 0 and then close all.
6. repeat point 1 above etc.

Now, i am fully aware of the SPREAD factor but assuming that at some point the currency pair you picked will eventually TREND either DOWN or UP, why wouldnt this idea/system work ?

And yes, i do plan to test this by building an EA. I just wanted to know if anyone had any experience of such.

Thanks,

B4 embarking on this journey do some research. First item should be 'do you understand that word 'hedge' and its purpose in the markets?
In trading, there is no bullshit. You either make money or you don't.

Is there a EA that is capable of storing ticker data that can then be used in MT4 or Excel.


Example: 1 Second, 2 Second, 3 Second, 4 Second, 5 Second, 10 Second, 20 Second Etc Etc


Storing Ticker values, each 1/10th of a second then X this value by your desired time frame
