The Scheduled Trade Executor cBot allows traders to automate the placement of buy and sell stop orders at predetermined times using server time. Customize parameters such as the distance from the current price, profit targets, stop losses, trade volume, and order expiration time. The cBot features an option to cancel the opposite order if one is triggered and displays countdowns to order placement for better monitoring.
How to Use It
- Add the cBot: Apply the Scheduled Trade Executor cBot to your cTrader chart.
- Customize Parameters: Set your desired order hour, minute, distance from price, profit target, stop loss, trade volume, seconds before order, and order expiry time.
- Start the cBot: The cBot will begin monitoring the specified times and place the orders as configured.
- Monitor Trades: Watch the countdown and orders being executed based on your settings.
Sample: How to Use It for Trading NFP
Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) releases are typically on the first Friday of every month at 8:30 AM Eastern Time (ET).
- Convert Time to Server Time: If your server is set to UTC, 8:30 AM ET is equivalent to 13:30 UTC.
- Set Parameters:
- Order Hour (Server Time):
13
- Order Minute:
30
- Distance from Price (pips):
20
(to account for NFP volatility) - Profit Target (pips):
100
- Stop Loss Limit (pips):
30
- Trade Volume (units):
1000
- Seconds Before Order:
10
- Order Expiry Time (seconds):
60
- Cancel Opposite Order if Triggered (OCO):
true
- Order Hour (Server Time):
- Run the cBot: Start the cBot before the NFP release time to ensure the orders are placed just before the data is released.
- Monitor and Manage: Observe as the cBot places the buy and sell stop orders at 13:30 UTC and manage your trades accordingly.
This setup allows you to automatically capitalize on the potential price movements resulting from the NFP release without needing to manually place orders at the exact time.
Feel free to tweak the parameters further based on your trading strategy and preferences. ๐๐๐
