GerFX Momentum Capture Robot 3.1 Download
Before you buy this EA, please be aware that:
1) Past performance is no guarantee of future profitability (the EA could also make losses).
2) The backtests shown (e.g. in screenshots) are highly optimized to find the best parameters but therefore do not give a realistic prediction of future profitability.
The EA tries to detect the start of a new trend after bank events and speeches. It has multi-currency and multi-timeframe capabilities.
After detecting strong price action and momentum, it will open positions in trend direction as well as pending orders for a possible reversal. The EA does not use martingale or grid.
The EA trades all symbols from one chart chart (can be any time frame). Don’t use it on multiple charts with default settings as it would trade all symbols multiple times and lead to too many positions.
For each timeframe there can be one open order. So you can adjust risk by not choosing all four timeframes.
In general, all combinations of USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD are tradable. For CHF I only recommend the pairs USDCHF and EURCHF.
Personally, I use the following symbols:
EURUSD,EURJPY,EURAUD,EURCAD,GBPUSD,USDCAD,USDCHF,GBPJPY,AUDJPY,USDJPY,AUDUSD,EURGBP,EURCHF and CADJPY.
Web requests have to be allowed for the EA to get news data from my server. Go to: Tools -> Options -> Expert Advisors and add the following addresses:
http://fxdata.cc and http://backup.fxdata.cc
The minimum balance depends on the number of symbols and on the maximum position settings.
I recommend $1500-2000 for 0.01 lots because the EA can open up to 16 (4 time frames on 4 pairs) position and pending orders after an event.
Please contact me if there are problems with backtesting or if you need assistance in live trading.
For backtests, it is very important to use news data and the correct GMT offset. The EA does not trade in the minute after news, so the news data is not used for unrealistic news trading. But it is important to determine whether the movement is fundamentally driven. News data from 2010-2017 is already included in the EA file, but for future data you have to download a data file.
