Inactive Market Prevention

Printer-friendly versionPDF version

It's often said that the markets can go one of three directions, it can go up, it can go down, or it can go sideways. If the market goes up we want to buy, if the market goes down we want to sell, but what do we do if the market is going sideways? The Inactivate Market Signal Prevention will specifically filter out these sideways moving markets.

If you find that a market is trading within a small price range, and not actively trending upward or down, you may use this filter to avoid placing trades during this time. We can tell the Autopilot to not place any new trades if the market has not moved at least so many tics/pips within so many price bars.
