Is it possible to add a function that flip just the BUY/SELL excution signal just before it reach Meta Trader ?
It quite easy to come up with EA that have a gradual linear downward slope on capital, I have examine the trades taken by various EA, the exit strategy does not really matter, the problem is with the wrong entry signal.
If the entry signal can be flip over a "wrong"
strategy then becomes the "right" strategy
without the hard work of modifying the logic in the EA.
As an example, the code for the EA below produces a gradual decline on capital for EURUSD M5 chart. If code can be add into the original code to just flip the BUY/SELL signal (without tempering the existing code other than just adding new lines) just before Meta Trader execute, it would then be a winning EA.
Can someone help out with the ENTRY flipping code.
