gecko ea v1.2 forex robot
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 advance
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.
