This forex strategy utilizes MACD for trend identification and Bollinger bands as a method of establishing the range. Once the range breakout occurs in the direction of main trend, we enter the position. We are looking for a trade with profit about 2 – 10 times bigger than average loss (RRR 1:2 – 1:10).
