Introducing AOT Version 2.2 — Focused on Control and Consistency
We’re excited to announce the release of AOT Version 2.2, which introduces two new input parameters designed to give traders more control and flexibility over entry timing and recovery behavior.
🔹 1. Entry Signal Pause Control
Parameter: Pause New Entry X Candles After Last Signal
Location: Core Configuration
Default: 0 (disabled)
What It Does
This feature prevents the EA from opening new entry signals too frequently by pausing for a specified number of candles after each trade entry.
How It Works
- After opening a position, the EA records the candle time.
- New entry signals for that symbol are blocked until the defined number of candles has passed.
- It works independently for each symbol.3–5 candles
- Recovery trades are not affected — they continue to operate normally.
Quick Settings Guide
| Market Type | Timeframe | Recommended Value |
|---|---|---|
| Recommended Value | M15 | 5–8 candles |
| Trending | M15 | 1–3 candles |
| High Volatility | M15 | 8–10 candles |
| Normal Trading | M15 | 3–5 candles |
Example
Settings: M15 timeframe, Pause = 5 candles
- 10:00 – BUY opened ✅
- 10:15 – Signal blocked ❌ (1 candle)
- 11:15 – Signal allowed ✅ (5 candles passed)
💡 Tip: Start with 3–5 candles. Increase if there are too many trades, decrease if you’re missing opportunities.
🔹 2. Recovery Trade Distance Control
Parameter: Min distance to open the recovery trade
Location: Recovery System
Default: 0 (automatic)
What It Does
Defines the minimum distance (in points) between recovery trades to prevent them from opening too close together.
Settings Options
- 0 (Auto) – EA automatically calculates the optimal distance ✅ (Recommended for most users)
- >0 (Manual) – Specify a fixed distance in points (e.g., 500 points = 50 pips for 5-digit brokers).
Manual Distance Guide
| Pair Type | Conservative | Moderate | Aggressive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Major (EURUSD, GBPUSD) | 800–1000 | 500–700 | 300–400 |
| Cross (EURJPY, GBPJPY) | 1000–1500 | 700–900 | 400–600 |
| Exotic (AUDNZD, EURGBP) | 600–800 | 600–800 | 200–300 |
Conversion Reference
- 5-digit brokers: 500 points = 50 pips
- 3-digit brokers: 500 points = 50 pips
Example
Settings: EURUSD, Min Distance = 500 points (50 pips)
- BUY at 1.08500 ✅
- Price drops to 1.08400 (10 pips) — Recovery blocked ❌
- Price drops to 1.08000 (50 pips) — Recovery opens ✅
⚠️ Important:
Keep it at 0 (Auto) unless you clearly understand your pair’s volatility. Manual settings are only for advanced users.
🎯 Quick Start Recommendations
For Beginners:
- Entry Pause: 3–5 candles
- Recovery Distance: 0 (Auto)
For Intermediate Traders:
- Ranging Market: Entry Pause 5–8 candles | Recovery Distance 0 or 500–700 points
- Trending Market: Entry Pause 1–3 candles | Recovery Distance 0 or 700–1000 points
🔧 Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Too many losing trades | Recovery never triggers |
| Missing opportunities | Decrease Entry Pause to 1–2 candles |
| Recovery trades too frequent | Increase Recovery Distance to 800–1000 |
| Recovery never triggers | Set Recovery Distance to 0 (Auto) |
✅ Best Practice:
Start with default settings, monitor performance for 1–2 weeks, then adjust gradually based on results.
