Overview
Custom Symbol Moving Average Collection includes helper functions to ensure data readiness for synthetic instruments or imported data series. The included strategies execute trades based on moving average crossovers and manage risk using a dynamic lot sizing system. This system calculates volume based on a percentage of free margin and includes a factor to decrease trade sizes after losses. The repository serves as an educational resource for adapting standard algorithmic logic to unique symbol types.
