Gecko runs a simple, yet very effective, proven strategy.  It looks for important recent high and lows and will trade the breakouts.

The actual execution of this strategy however, is what makes this EA truly shine.  Entry calculations and exit algorithms are not only unique but also very advanced.

The EA uses many trade management techniques, including but not limited to:

• a Trailing SL, using multipe parameters to control its function
• “Move to Break-even” at certain point, with the possibility to add extra pips to the point of breakeven
• Trailing SL based on recent highs/lows, including an option to run this only until breakeven level (to provide more room for full TP to be reached)
• Trailing SL based on trade duration, to limit exposure after the move has run out of momentum

This is NOT a scalper EA, and it does not use any grid/martingale or other risky techniques.  It uses very strict Stoploss, at safe distance.

There are many risk management option, including setting a certain risk per trade.

The EA is developed mainly for EURUSD, since it is the most succesful pair for running breakout strategies.  However, backtests shows promising results on multiple pairs already, without any optimization for those pairs.

Recommended timeframe is H1.

Minimum accountbalance: 100$

Key features:

• Safe trading: every trade is protected by a Stoploss
• EA is not sensitive to spread or slippage
• No risk of over-optimization, since no optimization process has been done
• No dangerous money management techniques used like grid or martingale
• High correlation between live trades and backtest trades
• Very high hitrate (>80% of trades are profitable)
• Stress Tested with 99.90% tickdata using variable spread and slippage simulation

Parameters:

• EA’s individual settings, like Magicnumber, Trade_comment, infopanel activation
• Lotsize settings: here you can determine how the EA will set the lotsize.  Based on balance (Lots Per Balance), or based on risk per trade for example
• For LOW RISK, use Lots Per Balance= 200 or bigger.  For MEDIUM RISK, use Lots Per Balance=100.  For AGGRESSIVE RISK, use Lots Per Balance = 50
• Maximum allowed spread can be set
• The option for Virtual SL is available for those who don’t want the broker to know the SL location
• Entry parameters: these include (currencly) 3 entry models, entry timing, and various parameters to determine the entry’s strictness
• Stoploss and Takeprofit can be set
• TrailingSL can be set, including where to start, stop, size of the TrailSL, and when modify
• Breakeven settings, with a start parameter, and a parameter for adding extra pips
• High/Low trailingSL can be activated, including option to stop at breakeven
• Time based TrailingSL, which will be activated after X minutes

Reminder: As with every trading system, always remember that forex trading can be risky.  Don’t trade with money that you can not afford to lose.  It is always best to test EA’s first on demo accounts, or live accounts running low lotsize.  You can always increase risk later!
