A help page contains all the videos and explanatory notes:
2-Technical

-
1-Installation of Windows VPS
Once the VPS "received" (receipt mail OVH), you must finalize its installation:
-
2-Installation of the Metatrader 4 platform (MT4)
Simply log in to your customer area on our partner Activtrades to download the MT4 trading platform and start the installation.
-
3-Installation Expert Advisor (EA) R2D2Trading
You can download the robots file in your customer area, it is a file to be saved, it does not open with a software. You will then have to copy it into the MT4 platform.
-
4-Setting up EA R2D2Trading
Once the robot is installed in your MT4 platform, you can use the online simulator to determine the settings you want to make, you then have to transfer these settings to your robots.

5-Rollover Contract Future expiry date
In order to optimize costs, robots use CFD contracts on future indices. These contracts have expirations, they expire. There is a semi-automatic operation to perform. The procedure is available in the FAQ/Notices page:
-
6-Management of possible alarms
Our tracking system allows a complete tracing in order to keep your robots operational. You can receive "alarms" of operation by email. You will be able to restore your system and you will be notified by email of the end of your alarm.
3-Theoretical
-
1-General concept
Our robots scan over 700 stocks every minute to create our market trend indicators.
They can trade on the CAC40, DAX40 and S&P500 indices via Activtrades CFDs.
This analysis of stocks to intervene on the indices allows a finer vision of the market.
All these calculations are performed in an average of 100 milliseconds. -
2-Different modes of decision making
The robots adapt their settings according to the type of market. They have 4 main types of operation:
- Standard bull market
- Standard bear market
- Volatile market (special crash mode)
- Extremely volatile market (robot exits the market)These different automatic settings allow the robots to be globally efficient in any type of market....
-
3-Management of multifactorial risk
The robots integrate a money management (management of the size of the positions) in order to maximize the profit phases and to manage the risk. This management is specific to the operation and strategy of the system.
In addition, our systems use an independent risk management module based on the concept of VaR (Value at Risk) which intervenes at the last moment before the orders are placed.
-
4-Construction of performance
The system applies a trend following strategy with short/medium term horizons.
The performance is made accordingly during the major bullish or bearish phases on the indices. Statistically the performance is built on 5-10% of the positions, the rest of the time, the robots manage phases without trends and therefore without potential.
>>> 1-General concept
The robot analyzes the market only during the opening hours of the stock market, i.e. between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. (French time) for the CAC40 and DAX40 indexes, and between 3:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. for the S&P500 index. For the rest of the time, if there is a position in progress, it will be maintained.
Every minute, our servers analyze each share, for all French markets for the R2CAC robot (or for the German market, for the R2DAX robot and for the American market for the R2SP robot).
This analysis allows us to determine the trend on each stock.
After studying the entire market, the robot then compiles the results to determine a leading indicator of market sentiment.
Based on these indicators, our robot then examines the situation, and determines according to the current trading position whether to close the position, open a new one or reverse the position.
Schematically, here is how the robots work:
From the market indicator, the robot uses sets of trading parameters (see point 2-Different decision modes) to make trading decisions, generating trading signals.
The robot then applies several methods of money management and risk management (see point 3-Multifactor risk management):
- the robot applies its integrated money management to optimize its performance and manage risk
- a risk management module based on the concept of VaR (Value at Risk) is applied in order to modulate the size of the positions according to the probability linked to the mathematical risk of the system
All of these calculations are performed in an average of 100 milliseconds, or about 0.1 seconds.
The decisions and the trading signal are then made available to all R2D2 trading subscribers via the expert advisor installed in the Metatrader 4 (MT4) trading platform.
