Grid-Hedge Trading Hours

It is simple to use, you just set the "include trading hours" to "yes" and specify your start and end hours, the robot will only open positions between these two hours, but it will still continue to manage existing open positions using trailing stop and the dynamic take profit.

CLOSE ALL WINNERS

When this is selected the robot will close all open positions for the current symbol that the Grid-Hedge robot opened that are in profit, any positions that are losing will stay open.

It will not close any positions with the same symbol that you have opened manually or that have been opened by another automated trading system, there is an input parameter that will also give you finer control for the Grid-Hedge system, it is called Instance Name, if you give it a different name for each robot instance you can manage each symbol independently and it will only close positions for that instance. 

 

CLOSE ALL WINNERS

If set to YES, then when the trading session ends all your winning positions will close.

 

TRADING SESSIONS THAT FALL INTO THE NEXT DAY

You can have a start time of 22:00 hours and stop time of 04:00 hrs when the robot sees this setting it will automatically think that the stop time is the next day, so the robot will start trading at 22:00 hrs and stop trading at 04:00 hrs. the following day.

When backtesting ctrader uses the server time which is UTC+0 and not your local or PC time

 

HOW TO CONFIGURE MULTIPLE TRADING SESSIONS

It is possible to have 1 or many trading sessions for a single symbol, to do this you just need to save your parameter settings, create a new cBot instance and load the settings into this instance. Now you will have two exact same symbols cBot instance with the same parameters, all you need to do is change the trading hour settings.
