trading logic. the strategy is a simple range trading contrarian
strategy wich take position on short term 5mn EURUSD chart to take
advantage of false breakouts between 00h am and 10h am european
session .in this time the volatily is low . that is good for range
strategy .
this are the setups.
Only one indicator is used it is the default bollinger bands .the
strategy check if we are between 00 h am and 10 h am .if that
condition is true then a trade can be open
Sell position :if a 5mn candle close above the bollinger upper band a
sell order is opened
Buy position :if a 5mn candle close below the bollinger lower band a
buy order is open
i use a take profit of 50 pips and Stoploss of 25 pips in order to
have a good risk reward ratio of 2;1 and limit my loss
i use a constant lot of 5 millions in order to avoid great drawdowns
in ranging markets .
the strategy use bollinger band because it is a volatility indicator
and used to take breakout but i use it in the contrarian side to take
the false breakouts .
i use 5mn charts because there is many false breakouts in this
timeframe and it is what the strategy is about
