About strategy Swing

The Pendulum or Swing strategy involves the sequential opening of pending orders with an increased lot size. The core principle is simple: two pending orders are placed, and when one is activated, the other is automatically replaced with a new pending order. This process continues until the entire group of trades is closed by hitting the take-profit target.

This strategy takes advantage of market swings, aiming to capture profits through multiple positions while minimizing risk with proper order management.

There are three types of opening pending orders in our advisor!

Auto-opening after installation (Instant Opening AutoTrade)
Opening and maintenance after manual initiation (Manual Opening ManualTrade)
Opening at High and Low levels (High Low for the Past Bar TFTrade)

An OCO (One-Cancels-the-Other) order is a type of conditional order that consists of two orders. The first order is automatically canceled if the second order is executed.

Example of Trading with Swing

At startup, the advisor sets two Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders at a distance of StopOrderDeltaifUSE from the current price.
If the Buy Stop is triggered, the Sell Stop is deleted and replaced with a new Sell Stop with a lot size multiplied by Martin.
If the Sell Stop is triggered, the Buy Stop is deleted and replaced with a new Buy Stop with a lot size multiplied by Martin.
When the take-profit is achieved, all orders are deleted, and the process starts again!

To achieve the swing effect, the parameters StopOrderDeltaifUSE and StopLoss must be equal.

if you know how to handle martingale, this is a very good EA for that !! Best feature of this EA is, it has partial closing of trades option which can be use to increase your profits. if you can add an option to change the settings of orders(stop order distance, its take profit value, partial closing trailing start point and rollback points) after given number of orders it would be more functional and safe. ( currently i'm doing it by manually after few swings to protect the capital) . other problem is with its time calculator. it uses local system time rather than broker time. so i had to change time values each time i change the vps with different system time.( some time i trade only in specific time periods) thank you very much for this FREE EA and highly appreciate your hard working !

Description

The model of the well-known Pendulum strategy (OCO orders) is the sequential opening of pending orders with an increased lot size.

The principle is simple: two pending orders are placed, and when one order is activated, the second order is replaced with a new pending order before the entire group is closed by take-profit.

There are three types of opening pending orders in our advisor!

Auto-opening after installation (Instant Opening AutoTrade)
Opening and maintenance after manual initiation (Manual Opening ManualTrade)
Opening at High and Low levels (High Low for the Past Bar TFTrade)

At startup, the advisor sets two Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders at a distance of StopOrderDeltaifUSE from the current price. If the Buy Stop is triggered, the Sell Stop is deleted and replaced with a new Sell Stop with a lot size multiplied by Martin. If the Sell Stop is triggered, the Buy Stop is deleted and replaced with a new Buy Stop with a lot size multiplied by Martin.

When the take-profit is achieved, all orders are deleted, and the process starts again!

To achieve the swing effect, the parameters StopOrderDeltaifUSE and StopLoss must be equal.

TypeofTrade – Choosing an Expert Advisor Trading Mode!

We created an Expert Advisor that operates in three different modes. Let us examine them in more detail:

AutoTrade or Opening After Installation EA:

In this mode, the advisor works to maintain the manual positions:

Algorithm:

At startup, the advisor sets two Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders at a distance of StopOrderDeltaifUSE from the current price.
If the Buy Stop is triggered, the Sell Stop is deleted and replaced with a new Sell Stop with a larger lot size, calculated as BuyStop multiplied by Martin.
If the Sell Stop is triggered, the Buy Stop is deleted and replaced with a new Buy Stop with a larger lot size, calculated as Sell Stop multiplied by Martin.
If the position incurs a loss, the current series is considered not closed, and the advisor continues to operate using the algorithm.
If the position reaches take-profit, the position is closed, and the process starts again.

Result of Work:

ManualTrade or Tracking After Manual Opening:

In this mode, the EA waits for the trader to open a position using our panel for the EAPADPRO advisor.

Algorithm:

On startup, the Expert Advisor waits until the user opens a position from our EAPADPRO panel.
Only after the trader opens a position using our panel does the advisor place the opposite pending order, while modifying the take-profit and stop-loss according to the system settings.
If a Buy position is opened, the EA sets a new Sell Stop with the lot size multiplied by Martin.
If a Sell position is opened, the EA sets a new Buy Stop with the lot size multiplied by Martin.
If the position incurs a loss, the current series is considered not closed, and the advisor continues to operate using the algorithm.
If the position reaches take-profit, the position is closed, and the process starts again.
The advisor stops working until the trader opens a new position.

Result of Work:

TFTrade or Work on High Low Levels:

In this mode, the Expert Advisor operates based on the High and Low levels set by the following variables:

TFTrade_PERIOD = PERIOD_D1; – Timeframe used by the advisor to determine the High and Low levels.
TFTrade_Num = 1; – The number of bars used to determine the level.

IMPORTANT!

To increase the processing speed of quotes when you set the TF (Strategy Tester Period) to M15, the advisor may not receive data from the indicator on the M1 timeframe!

Please set Period = M1 during strategy tester optimization!

Code:

StopOrdersDistance = (iHigh(Symbol(), TFTrade_PERIOD, iHighest(Symbol(), TFTrade_PERIOD, MODE_HIGH, TFTrade_Num, 1))
 -iLow(Symbol(), TFTrade_PERIOD, iLowest(Symbol(), TFTrade_PERIOD, MODE_LOW, TFTrade_Num, 1))) / MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_POINT);

Algorithm:

At startup, the Expert Advisor calculates the HIGH and LOW levels based on the set Timeframe.
Using the provided formula, the EA calculates the distance and places two pending orders, Buy Stop and Sell Stop, at a distance of StopOrderDeltaifUSE from the current price.
If the Buy Stop is triggered, the Sell Stop is deleted, and the EA sets a new Sell Stop with a lot size multiplied by Martin.
If the Sell Stop is triggered, the Buy Stop is deleted, and the EA sets a new Buy Stop with a lot size multiplied by Martin.
If the position incurs a loss, the current series is considered not closed, and the advisor continues to operate using the algorithm.
If the position reaches take-profit, the position is closed, and the process starts again.

Result of Work:

Optimization Tips

We developed this advisor based on the Pendulum algorithm.

The logic of the Expert Advisor’s operation is designed to execute a mathematical algorithm.

Therefore, all parameters are automatically configured, except for the distance between two pending orders.

You can optimize all the parameters, but we will provide some recommendations:

Optimization for TypeofTrade = Manual Trade and AutoTrade

Manual Trade – Maintenance of manual position openings.

Auto Trade – Constant opening of pending orders.

It makes sense to optimize only the parameters StopOrdersDistance, MaxOrders, and Martingale.

Optimization of StopOrdersDistance values: It is recommended to set parameters individually for each currency pair.

For example, if this is the EURUSD currency pair and you trade on the M30 timeframe with an average price movement of 50 bars = 7500 points, then set this parameter for optimization as start = 0, step = 100, stop = 1000.
For example, if this is the XUGUSD currency pair and you trade on the M1 timeframe with an average price movement of 50 bars = 100 points, then set this parameter for optimization as start = 0, step = 10, stop = 100.
For example, if you need confirmation of the first signal and the average price movement in the period is 100 bars = 1000 points, then set start = 0, step = 50, stop = 500.

Optimizing MaxOrders: This parameter allows you to specify the maximum number of orders in a series to avoid losing your deposit.

Start = 0; Step = 1; Stop = 10;

Optimizing Martingale values: This parameter allows you to specify the increase in the lot size of the next pending order.

Start = 0.1 (If Lots > Minimum Lot); Step = 0.1; Stop = 2;

If Martingale is less than 1, each subsequent position and its lot size will be smaller than the previous one.
If the value is less than 1, it makes sense to use it only when the Lots positions are more than the minimum lot on the server.
If Martingale is greater than 1, each subsequent position and its lot size will be larger than the previous one.
The higher the value of Martingale, the riskier the trading advisor becomes.
Martingale is a very simple and risky strategy.

The difference from ManualTrade is that with manual tracking, the advisor closes a series of orders in profit and stops working.

Optimization for TypeofTrade = TFTrade

TFTrade –

In this mode, the Expert Advisor operates based on the High and Low levels set by the following variables:

TFTrade_PERIOD = PERIOD_D1; – Timeframe used by the advisor to determine the High and Low levels.
TFTrade_Num = 1; – The number of bars used to determine the level.

It makes sense to optimize only the parameters: TFTrade_PERIOD, TFTrade_Num.

Optimizing TFTrade_PERIOD values: This is the period used to build the High and Low levels.

Start = PERIOD_M1; Stop = PERIOD_D1;

Optimization of TFTrade_Num values: The number of recent bars used to determine the levels.

Start = 0; Step = 1; Stop = 10;

What is the Swing (Pendulum) strategy?

The Swing strategy involves placing two opposite pending orders (Buy Stop and Sell Stop). When one order is activated, the other is replaced with a larger lot size. This repeats until a take-profit is reached.

What are the trading modes in the Swing strategy?

The three modes are AutoTrade (automatic order opening), ManualTrade (after manual position opening), and High-Low Trade (based on high and low levels).

How does the Martingale lot system work in this strategy?

When a trade triggers, the opposite order is replaced with an increased lot size, using the Martingale system to maximize profits.

What does OCO mean in this strategy?

OCO stands for “One Cancels the Other,” meaning if one order is executed, the other is automatically canceled.

Can the Swing strategy be used manually?

Yes, the strategy includes a ManualTrade mode for manual position opening.

What happens when one of the opposite orders is triggered?

The opposite order is deleted and replaced by a larger lot according to the Martingale system.

What are the benefits of using the Martingale system in Swing strategy?

It increases the chance of recovering losses from previous trades by increasing the lot size after each loss.

How does the Swing strategy calculate lot size increases?

It follows the Martingale system, which doubles the lot size after a loss, aiming to recover previous losses.

What is the High-Low Trade mode in the Swing strategy?

The High-Low Trade mode places orders based on high and low levels of price movements.

What happens when a take-profit level is reached?

When the take-profit is reached, both orders are closed, and the strategy restarts.

Can the Swing strategy be used with Expert Advisors (EAs)?

Yes, the strategy supports automatic trading using Expert Advisors for opening and managing trades.

How does AutoTrade mode function?

AutoTrade mode automatically opens two opposite pending orders at predetermined price levels.

Is it possible to adjust the lot multiplier in the Swing strategy?

Yes, traders can adjust the lot multiplier to customize risk and reward.

What are the key components of the Pendulum strategy?

Key components include automatic pending orders, OCO functionality, and the Martingale lot sizing system.

Notifications can be viewed as they arrive in the notification queue.

Notifications are accumulated in a data array each time you install/reinstall/change Expert Advisor settings.

In the EAPADPRO header you can also enable disable INFOBOX.

===========================================================================================

-Added: Working with Telegram (Beta version)

For Expert Advisor to work with the Telegram bot, you need to set up the bot on your phone and create a "public" or "private" channel.

To receive notifications from your account, you need to assign your bot as an administrator of your "public" or "private" channel.

Attention! Sending notifications and working with commands takes computer resources! Use the Telegram bot only for your own needs.

How To set Telegram bot:

New settings for working with Telegram:

EAPadPRO2=" =============== Telegram bot ";

==input ENUM_UPDATE_MODE TG_UpdateMode=UPDATE_SLOW --> Update Mode. Timer speed, to receive commands from Telegram bot. The faster the timer runs, the more computer resources will be used! Please do not change it unnecessarily. 2sec,3sec,10sec

==TG_PRIORITY=TG_HOME_VPS --> Priority of work. This is the priority mode when the Telegram bot works on the MetaQuotes VPS server and your home computer.

TG_HOME_ONLY=1, // Only the HOME bot. The Telegram bot works only on the home computer.

TG_VPS_ONLY=2, // Only the VPS bot. The Telegram bot works only on the MetaQuotes VPS server.

TG_VPS_HOME=3, // First VPS bot, second HOME bot. The Telegram bot works on the MetaQuotes VPS server if you upload it to the server. If not, it will work on your home terminal. Check the work on the VPS server every 10 minutes.

TG_HOME_VPS=4, // First HOME bot, second VPS bot. The Telegram bot works on a home computer, but if the home computer/terminal is turned off, it will work on the VPS server from MetaQuotes. Check the VPS server's work every 10 minutes.

Attention! Screenshots are not available on the VPS server from MetaQuotes!

==TG_Token="" --> Token bot. Token (unique code) of the bot that will send notifications and receive commands

==TG_ChannelName="" --> --> Public Channel Name @. Or "private" ID starts -100 of the private channel. That will send notifications about opening/closing/modification/errors and screenshots from the terminal.

==TG_UserNameFilter="" --> Whitelist Usernames. List of users, starting with @, who can use the bot.

Attention! Sending notifications and working with commands takes computer resources! Use the Telegram bot only for your own needs.

==TG_UseBotTimer=false;//TG_UseBotTimer --> Working with the bot from the phone

New notification type added to EAPADPRO panel settings:

==Notice Open TG - Send a notification to the Telegram channel if a trade is open;

==Notice Close TG - Send a notification to the Telegram channel if a trade is closed;

==Notice Modify TG - Send a notification to the Telegram channel if a trade is modified;

==Notice Error TG - Send a notification to the Telegram channel if an error is received;

==ScreenShot TG - Send a screenshot to the Telegram channel if a trade is opened or closed;

Attention! This is a beta version of working with the Telegram bot. We are working on improving and adding new features.

If you have any suggestions, please write in the "Comments" section.

MovingInWLUSE (true - false) LevelWLoss (in points) LevelProfit (in points).

These parameters adjust the possibility to modify deals moving the Stop Loss to break even at the earliest opportunity.

For example:

You would like to set Stop Loss in the break-even, when the deal will score +10 points of profit:
MovingInWLUSE = true, LevelWLoss=0, LevelProfit=10.
You want to set Stop Loss in +5 points when the deal will score +20 points of profit:
MovingInWLUSE = true, LevelWLoss=5, LevelProfit=20.
Therefore, the difference between LevelProfit-LevelWLoss must always be greater or equal to the minimum stop on the server.

Automatic minimization of the EAPADPRO window after a specified number of seconds to reduce the load on the computer when the user does not interact with the GRAPH.
Any inactivity on the graph: clicking on the graph, clicking on objects, resizing the graphs - leads to the automatic minimization of the window of our EAPADPRO panel.
If the window is in focus (selected) - automatic minimize is disabled!
To disable auto minimization - set in the panel settings in the AutoMinimize = 0 field.

Replacement of fonts for correct display on computers without Russian language.

TFTrade_PERIOD - timeframe for the EA to determine the High and Low levels
TFTrade_Num - the number of bars for determining a level.

- Improved the TakeProfit parameter.
If TakeProfit=-1, then TakeProfit = StopOrdersDistance

- Renamed the variables:
Lotes=Lots

- Added the SecondsToRefresh parameter to the EAPADPRO block - refresh rate of the information on the chart (default is 10 seconds). This is done to reduce the CPU load.

v17.208 2017.02.14

Improved EAPADPRO

v17.118 2017.01.27

- All external parameters are grouped for ease of use.
- Modified the logic of opening pending orders.
- Fixed the error when opening opposite order in certain cases.
- Parameter Z was renamed to MaxOrders - The maximum number of opened pending orders.
- Fixed error of accounting the current position in the series when restarting the terminal Expert.

- Added parameter
DeleteOppositeOrder - Delete the opposite order when triggered.
This function allows to accumulate orders without resetting the lot.
It should be noted that positions will be closed by stop loss. It is also possible to disable closing trades by stop loss: ModifyStopLossAtOrdersopen = false
This will make the grid accumulate lots and close by take profit.

- Added parameter
MaxSpreadToNotTrade and MinSpreadToNotTrade
MaxSpreadToNotTrade - Maximum spread, at which the EA can open a grid
MinSpreadToNotTrade - Minimum spread, at which the EA can open a grid
Attention: This filter is used only! for opening the First 2 pending orders.
All other functions operate as usual, including the order reversal and maintenance of orders to take profit!

- Added parameter
LotFix - lots for opening reversal, separated by commas, for example: "0.1,0.2,0.3,0.6,0.8,1"
then a custom lot size will be used for each reversal: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1, 1.....
Attention: The first lot for the first 2 pending orders is set in the Lotes parameter

- Added parameter
MartinFix - Martingale coefficient for opening reversal, separated by commas, for example: "2,3,1.5,2,1"
then martingale will be considered in each reversal, which corresponds the number of trade.
If the initial lot is 0.1, the next will be 0.2(2), 0,6(3), 0.9(1.5), 0.18(2), 0.18(1), 0.18.....

- Added parameter
CloseOppositePositionsAfterTP - Close opposite orders/positions if the current ones closed by take profit.
For example, you can disable modification ModifyStopLossAtOrdersopen = false and enable CloseOppositePositionsAfterTP =true
then, if SELL positions close by take profit, then all BUY positions and orders will be closed forcibly.

The difference between CloseOppositePositionsAfterTP and ModifyStopLossAtOrdersopen is that
in the first case, there is a LOCK until all series is closed by take profit and closure of the opposite grid. But in this case, there may not be enough margin for opening the next leg.
In the second case, the position is immediately closed by stop loss, and only 1 position with an increased lot is kept in the market.

- Added block for accounting volatility of the currency pair for opening trades
Volatility LIMIT Sets
TradebyVolatility - Consider volatility when opening the initial grid of orders.
TFVolatility - Timeframe to calculate the volatility.
BarVolatility - The number of bars to determine volatility.
PointVolatility - The number of points to determine volatility.

- Added the EAPADPRO information panel
Details on the panel in our blog: https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/post/687140

- The Trail Partion Close algorithm has been updated

v16.831 2016.09.01

Fixed the conflict between the ModifyStopLossAtOrdersopen and the Trailing stop function.

v16.211 2016.02.16

Added the AdjustTP parameter - correction of take profit during the opening of pending orders.
Added the AdjustAfter parameter - the number of the section after which the adjustment will take place.
Once the EA places AdjustAfter number of orders, the take profit of the next trade will be increased by AdjustTP * (NumberOfSections-AdjustAfter) points.

When a position is closed by the stop loss, we not only lose the stop loss level, but also the spread, especially if it is floating.
In order to earn a take profit, which will cover our last stop losses, we need to increase the take profit after each new pending order.
This functionality allows you to do this.

Hello, the EA you made is very good and I’ve made profits using it. I want to ask, what is the best timeframe to use this EA for swing trading strategy, and is it necessary to change any settings in the EA inputs? That’s all I wanted to ask, thank you.

  Hi there,
  
  Thanks for the kind words and for using the EA!
  
  Timeframe (for swing trading):
  Swing EA is timeframe-independent. It works by placing two opposite pending orders (OCO) and managing a sequence with step/lot control and partial closes; the chart timeframe doesn’t change its entry logic. Use M15–H1 only for visual monitoring (cleaner context and ATR reading), not because the EA “needs” a specific TF.
  
  Do I need to change inputs?
  Not required for a start — the default strategy is OK. For a more “swing-friendly” profile, you may tune only these risk/volatility controls (the core logic stays the same):
  
  Risk/Lot sizing: set FixedLot/AutoLot to your risk per trade.
  
  Distance/Step: align pending-order distance and step with instrument volatility (e.g., derive from your ATR so orders aren’t too tight in noisy markets).
  
  Guards: keep reasonable Max orders / max drawdown limits.
  
  Important note (MT5 netting):
  On netting accounts partial close is limited. To keep the sequence readable, lots should be closed in the same steps they were opened; otherwise the picture becomes confusing. For full flexibility with partial closes, a hedging account is preferable.
  
  If you share your symbol(s) and current risk/step values, I can suggest concrete distances and a safe lot plan for your broker conditions.
  
  Best regards,
  Vladislav

Hi! I’ve bought your Exp-Swing PRO MT5 version. I also have the MT4 version and quite frankly I cannot understand why the MT5 paid version lacks all the TrailPartion Settings. They are so useful and effective! Are you planning to make those settings available in the MT5 version too? Thank you

  Hello, unfortunately the function of partial closing on rollbacks is not available in the mt5 terminal due to the peculiarities of the order system. Unfortunately this jexpert is only for mt4.

Your EA would be great, but has some serious bugs in it. I have downloaded it from the market and been using it for a couple of days but from time to time an alert shows up saying that there are problems with some lines of your code. What’s WORST, the EA unpredictably misses to place the opposite order of an OCO, so you are left with a stop order which, if executed, will be left without any protection whatsoever. In the last 24 hours I have noticed it multiple times, at least 5 which is a lot! but it should simply never happen or the account could be gone in minutes! This is a MAJOR PROBLEM. Please fix it and I will be glad to buy it.

  Hello! Thanks for your feedback. This is serious, but unfortunately, I can’t fix anything without seeing the exact errors. Please send me a report: screenshots, logs from the Experts and Journal tabs, your set file, and a short description of the situation. Without this info, it’s impossible to understand what went wrong. Once I have the details, I’ll fix it right away.
