Higher / Lower Trend
Trades a barrier instead of the entry spot, so the market has to actually travel to pay.

- Default market
- Volatility 100 Index
- Pace
- Longer scans. It only takes the upward side now, so it sits out every downtrend it sees. Shorten the averages or the separation to trade more often.
How it works
- Rise/Fall settles against the entry spot, so the smallest move in the right direction wins.
- Higher/Lower settles against a barrier set away from it, so the market has to travel before it pays.
- A fast average above a slow one is read as an uptrend, and that is when it buys Higher.
- The gap between the averages has to beat the minimum separation, so the bot is not buying a barrier the move cannot reach.
- Buys Higher only
- Two moving averages
- Barrier away from entry spot
- Separation filter
- Loss cooldown
- Martingale with cap
Staking
It ships with a 2.1x martingale, sized to win back a losing run of up to 3 trades inside its stop loss, with a max stake of 5. Untick Use martingale on its card to stake the same amount on every trade.
