Forex strategy rules:
SELL: Strong bearish candle closing bellow bottom bollinger band.
After the candle close we check if SAR dot closed above the price candle. If SAR closed above, we enter the trade short. Stop loss is placed one pip above the high of our signal candle.
We do not move our stop loss with every SAR dot closed. We leave our initial stop loss in place. We move it to break even only after strategy reaches significant profit. Postion is liquidated in profit on first price candle that closes with SAR dot below it.
BUY: Strong bullish candle closing above upper bollinger band.
After the candle close we check if SAR dot closed below the price candle. If SAR closed below, we enter the trade long. Stop loss is placed one pip below the low of our signal candle.
We do not move our stop loss with every SAR dot closed. We leave our initial stop loss in place. We move it to break even only after strategy reaches significant profit. Position is liquidated in profit on first price candle that closes with SAR dot above it.
Notes to the forex strategy: Unlike the standard SAR use for stop loss placement, this forex strategy uses SAR only to mark the candle at the brink of the price wave. This action allows strategy to hunt for price movements up to a hundred pips risking only 10 – 20 pips.
