The Pendulum strategy (Swing EA) model involves opening sequential pending orders with increased lot sizes.
The principle behind this strategy is to place two pending orders, and when one of the orders is activated, the second order is re-pending before the entire basket is closed by take-profit.
The Pendulum strategy (Swing EA) is a popular trading model that involves opening a sequence of pending orders with incrementally increasing lot sizes.
In this model, the trader waits until the price moves in a particular direction and then opens a buy or sell position with a specific lot size.
If the price continues to move in that direction, the trader opens another order with a larger lot size, and so on.
The idea is to take advantage of the market’s momentum and maximize profits while minimizing risks.
However, the Pendulum strategy (Swing EA) requires careful risk management and a deep understanding of the market’s behavior.

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.
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!

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.

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

– Increased the algorithm processing speed towards performance and receiving signals.
– 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.
Version 17.208 2017.02.14
Improved EAPADPRO
Version 17.118 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
Version 16.831 2016.09.01
Fixed the conflict between the ModifyStopLossAtOrdersopen and the Trailing stop function.
Version 16.211 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.
