Adding to the winner. Algo scalping FOREX strategy

When developing strategy capable of effectively adding to the winner, we have found this one (and some more) surprisingly profitable setting. The settings are simple. We expect the price continue to move in the direction of main trend and momentum. Therefore, we place up to 12 pending orders in that direction. All of them with tight stop loss of 5 pips and humble profit of 10 pips.

Strategy uses multiple pending orders that are relatively close to each other therefore it is more demanding on time for trading. Results are worth it however.

For the best results, trade with professional ECN/STP broker with MT4. If you can't trade with profit. Automatically copy the traders that are already profitable.

Strategy was tested on 1H EURUSD data from 01.012013 to 01.012016.

Used forex indicators

RSI (relative strength index) 20 and 50. Combination of these oscillators works effectively in separating the uptrend from downtrend, while avoiding trading in range that is typical with low momentum. Additional lines of 51 (for uptrend) and 49 (for downtrend) are used.

Envelopes forex indicator. Envelopes are a go to tool, when you try to find good price for entry. There are many various setting that are working well with this particular approach. In this forex strategy envelopes with period of 10 are used (deviation 0,1).
