I wonder if its possible to include a seasonal filter. 
As you can see in the following, every currency underlies seasonal changes. EURUSD for eg tends to rise strongly in november/december

This can be used or filter for especially martingale systems. As martingale mainly goes against the trend, you can set it up to either avoid trading in times where it knows there is a strong trend in one direction. You also use it as advantage.

Something like this along with the time filter:


January: Buy Only/Sell Only/ Both 
February: Buy Only/Sell Only/ Both
.....
...


So it can be optimized that in this example the ea should focus more on being on the buy side in november and december whereas in april and may beeing more on the sell side. I guess you know what I mean. 

Let me know if this is might an improvement to the EA.

Quote from Andrey Khatimlianskyi

You can create a simple custom indicator that gets a buy signal in months you specify and sell signal in others.

Then attach it to the CP EA and use as a part of a collective signal.

You can add parameter for each month to the indicator to make it customizable.

I don't think we need another 12 parameters in the EA.

Alright yep thats also a way to do it. Thank you Andrey!
