Strategy as presented was tested in various combination of components by experienced traders and its profitability was confirmed.

Aggressive 15 min fakeout scalping with Bollinger bands – FOREX strategy

Used forex indicators:

  • Bollinger bands (60). We will draw BB in 15 min chart of EURUSD pair with default deviation (2). BB will create a price tunnel (volatility dependent). Tunnel drawn by BB works as well as manually drawn price tunnel, and unlike hand drawn, it can be back tested without distorting the results. Price simply touching the bollinger band will be automatically considered a fakeout, if other conditions are met.

  • MACD (moving average convergence divergence) Apply MACD histogram in your chart. Used settings 500,1000,9. Signal line (red) is ignored as we will consider only bar histogram to identify trend.

Forex strategy rules

Apply both indicators in 15 min candle chart of EURUSD.

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.
