Topic: Thoughts on how to Improve this strategy?

Any thoughts on how to improve this strategy? By improvement i mean higher net balance, finding more profitable trades, better exit strategy, lower draw down, ect.

EA Logic is as follows:

Opening (Entry Signal)
Open a new long position or add to an existing position or reverse a short position at Lower Band of Donchian Channel* (8, 2) when:

logical group (C) is satisfied:
MACD Histogram* (Exponential, Weighted, Exponential, 48, 5, 42) changes its direction upward; and
Commodity Channel Index (Simple, Open, 94, 1.000) rises; and
ADX* (Weighted, Bar range, 104) rises; and
the Choppiness Index* (12, 73) is lower than the level line; and
Commodity Channel Index* (Simple, Typical, 92, 0.031) is higher than the Level -98.


or logical group (B) is satisfied:
Commodity Channel Index (Simple, Open, 94, 1.000) rises; and
Money Flow Index* (1) crosses the Level 50 upward [GBPJPY H4]; and
Trix MA Oscillator (Smoothed, Smoothed, Open, 4, 13) rises; and
ADX* (Weighted, Bar range, 104) rises; and
the Choppiness Index* (12, 73) is lower than the level line; and
Commodity Channel Index* (Simple, Typical, 92, 0.031) is higher than the Level -98.


or logical group (D) is satisfied:
Commodity Channel Index (Simple, Open, 94, 1.000) rises; and
the bar opens above the Vidya Moving Average* (High, 62, 16) after opening below it; and
ADX* (Weighted, Bar range, 104) rises; and
the Choppiness Index* (12, 73) is lower than the level line; and
Commodity Channel Index* (Simple, Typical, 92, 0.031) is higher than the Level -98.



Open a new short position or add to an existing position or reverse a long position at Upper Band of Donchian Channel* (8, 2) when:


logical group (C) is satisfied:
MACD Histogram* (Exponential, Weighted, Exponential, 48, 5, 42) changes its direction downward; and
Commodity Channel Index (Simple, Open, 94, 1.000) falls; and
ADX* (Weighted, Bar range, 104) rises; and
the Choppiness Index* (12, 73) is lower than the level line; and
Commodity Channel Index* (Simple, Typical, 92, 0.031) is lower than the Level --98.


or logical group (B) is satisfied:
Commodity Channel Index (Simple, Open, 94, 1.000) falls; and
Money Flow Index* (1) crosses the Level 50 downward [GBPJPY H4]; and
Trix MA Oscillator (Smoothed, Smoothed, Open, 4, 13) falls; and
ADX* (Weighted, Bar range, 104) rises; and
the Choppiness Index* (12, 73) is lower than the level line; and
Commodity Channel Index* (Simple, Typical, 92, 0.031) is lower than the Level --98.


or logical group (D) is satisfied:
Commodity Channel Index (Simple, Open, 94, 1.000) falls; and
the bar opens below the Vidya Moving Average* (High, 62, 16) after opening above it; and
ADX* (Weighted, Bar range, 104) rises; and
the Choppiness Index* (12, 73) is lower than the level line; and
Commodity Channel Index* (Simple, Typical, 92, 0.031) is lower than the Level --98.
Closing (Exit Signal)
Close an existing long position at Upper Band of Envelopes* (Weighted, Median, 11, 1.17).

Close an existing short position at Lower Band of Envelopes* (Weighted, Median, 11, 1.17).

Handling of Additional Entry Signals**
Entry signal in the direction of the present position:

Add to the position no matter if it is at a profit or loss. Do not exceed the maximum allowed number of lots to open.
Entry signal in the opposite direction:

Close the existing position and open a new one in the opposite direction using the entry rules.
Trading Size
Trade percent of your account.

Opening of a new position - 1.25% of the account equity.
Adding to a position - 0.5% of the account equity. Do not open more than 100 lots.
Reversing a position - 1.25% of the account equity in the opposite direction.
Apply Martingale money management system with multiplier of 1.33.

Protection
The strategy does not provide a permanent loss limitation.

The strategy does not use a Take Profit.

--------------
* Use the indicator value from the previous bar for all asterisk-marked indicators!
** The averaging rules apply to the entry signals only. Exit signals close a position. They cannot open, add or reduce one.

Unlike most people I've actually attached the EA. I don't know how anyone expects to improve their trading strategy simply based on the balance/equity chart when we know nothing about the logic of the trading strategy. Seems to work with EURJPY as well, not as good but still remains profitable. Main things I would like to improve is finding more trades and a better exit strategy mainly
