This tutorial shows how Accelerator Expert Advisor (EA) can be used on charts of MT4 to Trade in Index Option.
Strategy Premise
The Accelerator Oscillator (AC) is an indicator developed by Bill Williams that helps traders gauge changes in momentum. It is based on the Awesome Oscillator (AO) and measures the difference between that indicator and its 5-period moving average, effectively showing how quickly the AO changes and predicting what it will do next. If the AC is in positive territory, the upward acceleration is likely to continue. If the AC is in negative territory, the downward acceleration is likely to continue.
Strategy Logic
Long Entry: When AC Crosses Above Zero
Long Exit: When AC Crosses Below Zero
When Strategy gives buy, it will send LE in Call and LX in Put. When Strategy gives sell, it will send LE in Put and LX in
