Introduce

GIGA_LBVB_ACAD_Virtual, configured on FXCE Giga by member solovely (Telegram: @anh219) of the FXCE - EA community, combines LBVB and the Virtual Order feature. 

This combination counts the number of virtual orders before entering real orders. The purpose of using Virtual Order is to minimize risks due to large price fluctuations (limiting buying at the top/selling at the bottom) and to reduce the number of incorrect DCA orders.

GIGA_LBVB_ACAD_Virtual won first prize in the Modify LBVB AUDCAD contest, received a funding account of $33000 and invested $300,000.You can track the trading results on the FXCE Social Trading Platform here.

Learn Virtual Order

What is Virtual Order?

A Virtual Order is the price that the EA records when the price meets all order entry conditions in the Entry tab. Instead of immediately placing a real order (Market Order), the EA only records the order's price as soon as the conditions are met without executing the order.

In other words, Giga allows traders to configure virtual order recording before entering real orders.

With the Giga virtual command, the following components are recorded:

  • Buy/Sell virtual order price

  • Virtual command order

  • Stop loss price - SL

  • Profit taking price - City

  • Corresponding order volume.

Virtual Order trong GIGA_LBVB_ACAD_Virtual

The virtual order system operates continuously 24/5:

  • When the price moves in the opposite direction, it continues to move 2 more price steps (each step is 88 points with a lot size coefficient of 1.5). If the market moves in the right direction, the virtual order executes a fixed TP of 222 points.

  • If, after the system performs DCA for a complete series of 2 virtual orders and the price continues to move unfavorably, Giga will enter a real order (meaning the first real order will be executed upon the occurrence of a 3rd virtual order).
