Momentum signal in the forex market acts like a freight train in full speed. It simply cannot stop immediately. This fact is employed as reliable entry signal in this trend following day trading forex strategy. Momentum signal is also combined with conservatively averaged positions. This powerful combination will enable us to close the trades in profit before complete trend reversal. Residual trend momentum will be used to close last trades of the trend in profit whenever is is possible.
Forex strategy will win almost every entry while trend lasts. Loss at the trend reversal will be avoided by employing momentum signal, together with advanced position liquidation logic. Multiple filters are used to ensure that we identify trend and momentum correctly. MACD histogram both identified trend and confirms momentum. Volatility dependent Bollinger Bands tunnel confirms immediate momentum and help us avoid late entry before MACD catches up.

MACD histogram: 200,50: We will be trading only in the direction of MACD defined trend. Momentum must be confirmed by histogram bar growing in the direction of trend.
Bollinger Bands filter (period 20, deviation 1,5): Price must close above BB tunnel for long entry. Below BB tunnel for short entry). Immediate momentum signal.
Positions: We open up to three positions. Averaging logic is used on each consecutive trade (if trade exists). Distance between trades is set to 200 points (20 pips). We increase the leverage on consecutive trades in this day trading forex strategy: first trade lot size x1, first trade lot size x2. first trade lot size x3 (in EA set the increase factor to 1).
Target profit: Target profit is 1USD for each 0,01 of lot size used. It is further multiplied by the number of currently opened trades (1 -3).
Closing of losing trades: We close all existing trades at loss once the MACD crosses 0 value - trend reverses.
Averaging logic: If trade exists, new trade is opened regardless of the BB filter or MACD momentum. Momentum signal is applied only for the initial trade.
