The sense behind this algorithmic ordering can be explained by a simple example:
October ,1st 2015. Trader A and trader B, both decide to go long for a swing in German DAX. Trader A uses normal CFD platform, trader B uses the strategic order preset “Swing” of StereoTrader MT.
Trader A risks 5 USD per point, trader B starts with 20 Cent per point.
The start price of DAX is 9.765 points, the end price on December, 4th 2015 after a small crash is at 10.872 points. These are the results:
Trader A (CFD) profit: 5.638 USD with one contract. Initial drwdown 1.375 USD, max drwdown 2.082 EUR. Paid spread 10 USD by assuming 2 point.
Trader B (StereoTrader MT) profit: 12.844 USD with 743 contracts total. Inital drawdown 1.375 USD, max drawdown 2.742. Paid Sread 5.224 USD.
In other words: Approximately double profit by same risk by just using a standard preset.
Another topic with Strategic Orders is, that such algorithms can be combined with customizable zones.
This was its possible to automate scenarios without the need for programming.
