Five growing candles forex strategy

We compare previous four candles looking for a specific price formation. The formation consists of four consecutively growing candle bodies, each closing in the direction of price movement (formation). We enter our trade on the fifth formation candle open. The strategy offers very good risk reward ratio, profit factor and draw down. It is relatively simple and not too time consuming.
