PO Strategies Lite is a Forex robot that allows opening trading strategies based on Pending Orders. 

You can define the distance in points between the opening price of the pending order and the current price (Bid or Ask).

To use this robot, you should choose brokers that allow opening pending orders without any restriction in respect to the current Bid or Ask price (StopLevel = 0 or 1).

Furthermore, the account, on which you intend to use the robot, should allow opening micro lots with a high leverage (1:400 or higher). 

The opening signals of the pending orders are obtained on the basis of price movements occurring within a specified period of time and with two moving averages.

The use of the two moving averages increases the reliability of BUY and SELL signals.

Regarding the exit from the trades, various options are available, such as:

1. Trailing Stop
2. Take Profit with Stop Loss
3. Trade closing without Stop Loss and Take Profit
4. Mix of the above options

With the same opening signals of Pending Orders, Market Orders can be opened to check the distances to market prices.

The opening of Pending Orders should help to overcome two issues that we encounter in Forex trading: latency and re-quotes.

In situations of normal market volatility, Pending Orders should solve the both issues.

To test the robot in the Strategy Tester, it is suggested to use EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY and AUDUSD with M1.
