Forex Fraus 4 For M1s Strategy

Conversion of MQL4 strategy #13643. The original expert advisor enters trades when the Williams %R indicator touches extreme levels and then crosses back. This C# version uses the high-level API of StockSharp.

The strategy works on 1-minute candles and reacts to two key levels:

  • A long signal is generated after Williams %R rises above -99.9 having been below it.
  • A short signal appears when Williams %R falls below -0.1 having been above it.

Positions are closed by fixed stops, targets or trailing stop. A time filter can restrict trading to a specific intraday window.
