Used tools and indicators

Commodity channel index (CCI 150) primary trend identification tools. It is important to identify general trend direction when trading breakouts. The added benefit of CCI or any other oscillator is the ability to separate the range by adding no trade zone (sell below/buy above levels - 0).

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.

Bolliger bands (BB period 60, deviation 2) widely used tool for tunnel drawing. It adapts to market volatility which is useful when using it as a lead for trailing stop. In this forex strategy, we will do just that.

Trailing stop (30 pips). Applied on BB line that just got broken. Line that got broken will turn from resistance to support, and from support to resistance. Therefore, it is logical and data proven that it works very well as a trailing stop lead. Additional distance can be applied.

Breakout candle signal. Candle with body larger than any of previous 3 candles. It also surpasses the low/high of last candle.
