Trade Panel With Autopilot Strategy

This strategy ports the MQL5 Trade panel with autopilot example to the StockSharp framework. It calculates bullish and bearish pressure across multiple time frames. A position is opened when the corresponding percentage exceeds the Open % threshold and closed when it falls below the Close % level. Optionally a fractal based stop loss can be applied using 10‑minute candles.

Parameters

  • Autopilot – enable or disable automated trading.
  • Open % – threshold of votes required to open a position.
  • Close % – threshold for closing existing position.
  • Use Fixed Volume – if true, use the value from Fixed Volume.
  • Fixed Volume – absolute order volume.
  • Volume % – portfolio percentage used when volume is dynamic.
  • Use Stop Loss – enable stop loss based on recent fractals.

Logic

For every time frame from 1 minute to 1 month the strategy compares the latest candle with the previous one. Each comparison of open, high, low and derived averages adds a vote for buying or selling. The percentages of buy and sell votes drive order placement. When enabled, the last fractal from 10‑minute candles acts as a trailing stop.
