Notes to the forex strategy

With this strategy, you get 3 chances to enter the trade. Only after 3 unsuccessful trades, loss that equals 7x size of the candle range is booked. Do not attempt to continue to enter on that candle if all 3 attempts failed. Reset and regroup.

Avoid trading in range, or close to strong supports / resistance zones. Price must be trending for this strategy to work properly.

Winning trades are much, much more frequent. Infrequent losses are simply a cost for doing business.
