This excellent breakout strategy targets new daily candle open (morning) to get 20 pips. According to our accurate backtest (15 years), it consistently succeeds in this task. Each entry is protected by advanced trailing stop and system is able to win in about 85 percent of trades. 85 percent of the mornings will therefore be pretty glorious for the trader. Strategy is relatively conservative and can be therefore applied on multiple pairs simultaneously to increase the results.
