Entry Rules
Instead of entering at market, the EA places pending STOP orders at dynamic levels derived from:
Linear Regression (period 17) as a directional/mean reference,
plus/minus a range component (SmallestRange/BiggestRange period 68) to adapt entry distance to recent market structure.
LONG: place a Buy Stop at LinReg[1] + SmallestRange[2]
SHORT: place a Sell Stop at LinReg[1] - BiggestRange[2]
Pending orders remain valid for 36 bars. Replacing existing pending orders is allowed.
Exit Rules
Time-based exit: close the position after 14 bars.
Friday risk control: forced exit on Friday at 19:00 to reduce weekend gap exposure.
Validation
After the initial build, the strategy went through multiple out-of-sample (OOS) validations and a dedicated TRUE OOS test to reduce overfitting risk and confirm that the underlying logic remains stable beyond the development sample.
Risk Disclaimer
Trading involves risk. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Always forward-test on a demo account first.
I'm adding a preliminary review and maybe I will comeback and update it. I've been testing it on my live account for just over a week. While a sl of $2 with a 0.01 lot size is okay, a tp of $40 is overambitious. Adding an update after testing for three weeks. I won't be continuing with it. I had one profitable trade and two losses within a three week period. As I said the tp level is too ambitious.
