Taking profits is easy. Closing a losing position? Not so much.

“Maybe the market will turn around.” It’s a familiar thought—and one that can leave losing positions open far longer than planned. With averaging strategies, the real challenge isn’t always opening the next trade. It’s having a rule for when to take a loss.

Octonion Wave was built around that challenge. Define rules for profit-taking and loss management, then let the EA apply them systematically instead of leaving every exit to a judgment call.

Don’t just automate entries. Give your losses an exit strategy.

Take profits. Manage losses. Let the rules handle both.

Octonion Wave places trades and takes profits based on your settings. Its automated loss-management logic can also allocate a configurable portion of account profits toward closing losing positions. The goal is a more systematic approach that aims to build gains over time while managing losses along the way.

  1. Set your grid and trading range

    Choose your symbols, trade direction, position size, price range, and entry spacing. The EA follows the conditions you’ve defined.

  2. Take profits automatically

    Positions are closed when their configured profit-taking conditions are met.

  3. Put a portion of profits toward loss exits

    Adjust the share of account profits used by the loss-management logic, so losing positions aren’t simply left without a plan.

Profit-taking is only half the strategy. The other half matters just as much.

More control. More flexibility. More reasons to test it.

Octonion Wave is designed to give you flexibility over the symbols you trade, how you manage losses, and how you evaluate a strategy before using real funds.

Put loss exits on autopilot

Set rules for closing losing positions as well as taking profits. Reduce the need to make every loss-exit decision in the heat of the moment.

Go beyond currency pairs

Configure tradable symbols offered by your broker in MetaTrader, including non-FX instruments where supported. Check your broker’s specifications and trading conditions.

Bring your own MT4 / MT5 broker

Octonion Wave isn’t locked to a specific broker. Check compatibility with your trading conditions using a backtest and demo run before use.

Look for opportunities to exit near breakeven

When overall trading P/L approaches zero, you may consider closing positions and stopping the EA.

Set TestModeOnOff to true to log account balance, P/L, and required margin at an interval you choose. Review how different parameters affect the results.

Symbol availability and trading compatibility depend on broker specifications. Near-breakeven exit opportunities may not occur.

Your markets. Your parameters. Your rules.

Choose the symbols, buy or sell direction, lot size, entry range, grid spacing, profit targets, and optional stop-loss levels that fit your strategy.

You can also configure how much of the account’s profits the automated loss-management logic uses. It’s more than setting up entries—it’s defining how your strategy handles losing positions.

Test new settings with data—not guesswork.

Set TestModeOnOff = true, then choose an interval in minutes with Test_Wait_Minute. During backtesting, Octonion Wave can log account balance, P/L, and required margin at the specified intervals.

Risk and Important Information

Leveraged FX and CFD trading involves a risk of loss, including forced liquidation, depending on market conditions and your broker’s account terms. Averaging strategies can result in large floating losses and margin requirements during adverse markets. Automated loss-management features do not guarantee loss recovery, near-breakeven exits, or profits. Forward-trading results reflect past performance and do not guarantee future results. Actual outcomes depend on market conditions, spreads, execution, broker specifications, and your settings. Octonion Wave manages risk at the account level. Do not run it alongside other EAs in the same trading account. Make sure each configured symbol name matches the symbol used by your broker, and complete backtests and demo-account trials before considering live trading. Use prudent position sizing and allow sufficient margin.
