Hi everyone,
When I released Roadmap ( https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...o-read-markets ), I was conscious that it was a strategy which required a fair amount of discretion/judgement.
I still receive many messages from people who are successfully trading using Roadmap, which is great. However, I wanted to also provide one of my other strategies for those who might prefer a more rules-based approach.
Welcome to Daylight.
This is a strategy with clear entry rules, various exit options and no non-standard indicators. I will walk you through how to set up your charts and will provide a template for those who want it.
But first, here's a look at a typical chart.
As you can tell from the chart above, we are using Williams %R but we are using it in a non-standard way. We are actually hiding the normal line and instead applying a Smoothed 8 period MA and a Smoothed 21 period MA to the data.
Additionally, on our main chart, we have a 5 period Smoothed MA and another 5 period Smoothed MA with a shift of 5.
And that's all you will need to get started.
Attached below is a template and in my next posts I will fully explain the strategy, with entry criteria and exit options. I've also attached a link to my Journal, which contains some posts you may find generally useful.
