Ingrit is a conversion of the MetaTrader 5 expert advisor Ingrit.mq5. The strategy watches five-minute candles and reacts when a strong counter-trend candle is followed by a wide breakout measured against a swing from fourteen bars ago. Orders are placed at market with configurable stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing stop distances expressed in pips. Signals may optionally be reversed or forced to flatten the opposite exposure before entering a new trade.
Strategy logic
Breakout detection
The strategy processes only finished candles from the selected timeframe (defaults to 5 minutes).
For a long setup the previous candle must close bearish and the distance between the high of the candle 14 bars back and the low of the previous candle must exceed StepPips (after converting pips to price units).
For a short setup the previous candle must close bullish and the distance between the high of the previous candle and the low of the candle 14 bars back must exceed StepPips.
Enabling ReverseSignals swaps the long and short conditions, recreating the optional reversal mode from the original robot.
Trade management
Market orders are sent using the strategy Volume. When CloseOppositePositions is enabled the requested size is increased by the absolute value of the current position so that reversals close the existing exposure in the same trade.
A fixed stop-loss and take-profit (if greater than zero) are attached immediately after entry. Both distances are converted from pips using the security price step and automatically adapt to three- and five-digit FX quotes.
The trailing stop becomes active once unrealized profit exceeds TrailingStopPips + TrailingStepPips. For longs the stop trails below the close, for shorts it trails above the close. Each update keeps the stop at least TrailingStepPips away from the previous trailing level to avoid rapid modifications.
Additional behaviour
Trailing can be disabled by setting TrailingStopPips to zero. If trailing is active the step must remain positive (the strategy performs the same validation as the MQL version).
All calculations run on completed candles; no intrabar processing is required in StockSharp.
The strategy does not create pending orders—every signal is executed with a market order and the protective levels are simulated internally.
Parameters
Parameter
Description
CandleType
Timeframe used to build candles for the breakout logic. Default: 5-minute time frame.
StopLossPips
Stop-loss distance in pips. A value of 0 disables the fixed stop.
TakeProfitPips
Take-profit distance in pips. A value of 0 disables the fixed target.
TrailingStopPips
Base trailing stop distance in pips. Set to 0 to disable trailing.
TrailingStepPips
Extra pip distance that must be gained before the trailing stop moves again. Must be positive when trailing is enabled.
StepPips
Minimum swing distance in pips between the reference candle and the latest candle before a signal triggers.
ReverseSignals
If true, swaps long and short conditions (reverse mode).
CloseOppositePositions
If true, enlarges the market order to flatten any opposite exposure before opening the new position.
Volume
Strategy property that defines the base order size. Combine with CloseOppositePositions to control reversal behaviour.
Notes
Pip values are derived from the security price step. When the instrument uses three or five decimal places the strategy multiplies the step by ten so that one pip equals the standard FX definition.
