The system places pending buy stop/sell stop orders at the daily candle high/low. Order is triggered during the next day and we will be looking for the profit target that equals stop loss. To establish those values whole candle range is used.
Previous strategy didn't take any trade into account and did not consider candle close vs max/min when placing the pending order. Some candles are clearly signaling that momentum is lacking and trend is likely to reverse. By simply comparing candle close to the high/low you would be able to filter out some of them, lowering draw down and improving profit factor.
Forex strategy is conservative and relatively secure. Yet the profits are showing huge potential. Expert advisor created for this forex strategy was tested on historical data since 2003 /EURUSD daily candle).

We will expect the momentum to continue during the next day, trigger our order and continue to reach our profit target. Pending orders are placed at closed candle high/low, expecting the continuation.
MAX wick size (30) Wick in the direction of candle and expected continuation cannot surpass maximum allowed with. Wider wick signalizes questionable momentum and such candle is considered to be unreliable for entry.
Take profit and stop loss: We measure candle range (high- low). The distance is used both for profit target and stop loss.
Break even: After position reached predefined profit, stop loss is adjusted on break even price (entry price).
Remain valid (1): untriggered pending order will remain valid for 1 day.
