Cost averaging forex strategy

In this forex strategy we open up to ten averaging trades in the direction of trend. Each consecutive trade is always opened on better price (cost averaging). Opening additional trades improves overall price of the entry and increases size of the position. This also increases the risk. In this strategy we therefore increase the reward proportionally with the risk, to compensate for this fact and tremendously improve risk reward ratio.

According to strategy rules all trades must be closed on EMA trend reversal. Strategy will work much better when trader anticipates reversals and exits the trend beforehand.

This forex strategy requires opening trades at specific price level (in defined averaging distance) and accurate target profit calculation. It can be traded automatically by Alpha Proportion MT4 EA that was also used for historical data testing. This cost averaging system works best when trader manually choses the direction to trade in, and ceases to trade once trend starts to weaken.
