UJ Keltner Range M15 Strategy Mt4
- Experts
- Versione: 1.0
USDJPY Keltner Range M15 Strategy is a fully automated MetaTrader 5 strategy designed to capture structured breakout opportunities on USDJPY using daily directional confirmation, Keltner Channel reference levels, volatility-buffered pending STOP entries and simple fixed-risk management.
The strategy is designed for USDJPY on the M15 timeframe. Its goal is to participate when the market shows directional intent through daily high or daily low behavior, while using Keltner Channel structure and recent price range as a volatility-based execution buffer.
Instead of entering immediately at market, the EA places pending STOP orders beyond a Keltner reference level adjusted by the biggest recent price range. This allows the strategy to wait for additional confirmation before entering the trade.
No parameter setup is required — the system is delivered with optimized and fine-tuned settings.
Recommended broker: Any MT5 broker with stable USDJPY execution, low spread, reliable liquidity and consistent server time.

ENTRY LOGIC
DAILY DIRECTIONAL FILTER + KELTNER CHANNEL STOP ENTRY + RANGE BUFFER
This EA looks for directional pressure first and executes only if price confirms continuation through a pending STOP order.
