Description:
VScalp3_4_March2017 is a momentum scalping strategy. It opens a
long position when CCI(14) closes above 200 and a short position when
CCI(14) closes below -200. The strategy opens one position per
trading day (Monday to Friday). It may skip one trading day (usually
NFP day) per month. It trades only when the spread is lower than or
equal to 2
pips. The strategy uses EUR/USD currency pair on 1 Min timeframe. SL
is set at 55 pips and TP at 5 pips but the latter is adjusted to 14
pips on a drawdown of $50K or more. Trade amount is calculated as
follows: amount = Equity / 10000 / LastBidCandle.CandleOpen * 50 /
defaultStopLoss - 0.1. The strategy validates margin before the
weekend leverage comes into force and closes a position if necessary.
