Applied Strategies
It uses a hedging money management system, which helps to analyze and monitor the value of different currency pairs. According to the vendor’s claims, the system uses this trading technique to turn losing trades into winning ones. Thus, even a trader with zero trading experience can profit from trading with Ranger EA. As we know, Hedging helps to protect an existing position from undesirable currency value changes by holding both short and long positions simultaneously on the same currency pair. Long story short it protects a position in a currency pair from the risk of losses.
The dev says that his EA can boast 10 years of successful trading performance. He provides 2 backtest reports performed on AUDCAD (From 2010-2020) and GBPCAD (From 2010-2020) pairs to prove his claims. Here we will look into the AUDCAD pair.
The good thing is that this backtest report can be verified as it is placed on myfxbook.com. It is a rare thing to see such a great level of transparency from the developer! Thus, it is a huge benefit.
