Description

In this course, I would like us to redefine trend following by revisiting it with a different perception. Trend following is a trading technique that involves entering trades anticipating that a new trend is developing, then staying in the new trend for as long as possible, hoping to get as much profit as possible from our position.

The traditional approach to trend following focuses mainly on entry points only and usually those are after a trend is confirmed. This has a downside in that waiting for confirmation from price to change direction will eat into the profits and also make it difficult to manage the trade as there might be less room for the price to move in the desired direction.

In this course, we shall address that challenge by making counter trend entries and use trade management to ensure that those counter trend trades turn into huge harvests. The strategy will use the Lotto type risk management, meaning that it is a high risk and very high reward strategy. As usual, I shall walk you through the entire coding process of the EA, ensuring that you understand each step of the strategy development process.

If you’re still familiarizing yourself with MQL5, don’t worry, as long as you understand the basics, this course is perfect for you. I will patiently guide you through each and every step, ensuring you grasp the concepts behind each line of code. By the end of this course, you’ll have gained the skills necessary to code similar trading models based on the teachings of this course.

So hit hard on the enrol button, now, and join me on this exciting journey of coding a Lotto risk management based strategy.
