This forex strategy is all about letting the profits roll. This is achieved by using advanced trailing stop, that is following the SAR indicator. As many forex traders observed, when it comes to trailing stop, SAR is one of the best options. We will be using it also as a filter for our entry. The signal is based on 6 candle chart formation consisting of five flat candles and one aggressive candle closing in the direction of trend.
