This robot attempts to recover losing trades.

Place a trade and if it moves in the wrong direction, the Zone Recovery algorithm initiates.

An alternating series of Buy and Sell trades at two specific levels will be taking place, with two Exit Points above and beyond these levels.

Once either of the two exit points is reached, all trades are closed with a combined profit or approximate breakeven.
