Used tools and forex indicators
Alligator (130,80,50) All alligator lines must be aligned according to either downtrend or uptrend. All lines must be untangled and clearly separated. Test results were achieved for 130,80,50 settings of indicator. We have not experimented with other periods, however it is certain that indicators' calculation period can be manipulated both up and down to improve/adapt the performance.
Parabolic SAR (step 0.02, max:1). Often overlooked and underutilized forex indicator, due to its lagging nature. However, it works very well as suggested in this forex strategy. The SAR signal can be only con firmed by candle close.
Candle signal: Candle with specific size (30 – 150 pips), closing in the direction of trend. We consider candle to be the most accurate and real time trend signal. Candle with sufficient size and direction can become an immediate trend confirmation under the right circumstances. Entry is always coupled with candle close. This also ensures high accuracy of historical data testing.
Trailing stop. Universal trailing stop is applied on every entry. It is trailed/ adjusted after each candle close. Additional distance (30 pips) can be applied to consider the market volatility and avoid unnecessary exits.
