I need help in writing a simple EA for an idea in Same currrency Hedging
( as offerd by Alpari. FXCM/ IBFX)

Idea
To trade a Hedged single currency ( as offered by brokers like FXCM, ALPARI and IBFX)

Start of trade: No fix rule except perhaps a survey of Recent volatility ( To be discussed)

Opening
Open a BUY and a SELL position one after another
Both to have the following variable
Take Profit = 100 pips ( As an Example)
Stop Loss = 50 pips ( As an Example)
Trailing Stop = 20 Pips ( As an Example)

Opening next position rule:
Open next position only after both the sides of the Hedge are closed
And relevant to Money management ( a % of remaining Balance.. )

I don?t know for sure yet but it looks like IBFX can no longer support hedged positions due to new NFA regulations. From what I know this only affects US brokers, so Alpari and FXCM should still be fine.
