Overview

Collinator initiates trades based on the 8:30 AM candle trend or moving average crossovers. The robot features comprehensive exit management, including four stages of partial profit taking and a break-even stop loss adjustment. Risk controls include fixed lot sizing or percentage-based compounding. Users can optionally enable a martingale lot scaling system and a limit order reversal strategy to manage losing positions. The strategy focuses on the high volatility period at the 9:30 AM EST bell.
