Good day, traders!
In this topic I will share with you a breakout trading strategy. I will try to tell you enough details so that you can trade it yourself. And I will attach a link to the free expert advisor with live trading monitoring of the real account.
Theory: price movement can be decomposed into two main phases — accumulation and distribution.
We will use this phases to extract profit. The algorithm is simple:
- Identify an accumulation.
- Open trade at the beginning of the distribution.
- Close a trade by take, stop, trailing stop or timeout.
- Repeat everything again starting from point 1.
Identify accumulation
- X = period of calculations (EntryPoint in BOA System)
- k = koefficient (Sensitivity in BOA System)
- KPD = ( HighestHigh(X) - LowestLow(X) ) / ( ATR * X ) * 100
When KPD less then Average_KPD - k*Standard_deviation_KPD it means that accumulation took place
Signal to open trade
- Breakup of HighestHigh(X) is a signal to trade long
- Breakdown of LowestLow(X) is a signal to trade short
Calculation of Stop Loss,Take Profit and Trailing
Everything is calculated as a percents of initial HighestHigh(X) - LowestLow(X). For example: StopLoss = 50, means that the size of stop loss will be equal to (HighestHigh(X) - LowestLow(X)) * 0.5 Link to the free exper advisor
